The time has finally come folks; mothers hide your daughters because Armageddon has come. The best selling PC game series (we're talking over 70 million copies sold) is getting its second sequel: The Sims 3. If you head on over to the game's official website, you'll be treated to a splash page teasing more information coming on March 19th.
If you can't wait two weeks, 1UP features the upcoming April/May issue of Games for Windows with The Sims 3 adorning the cover page. They mention brief details for the game; such as a big change to the Sims' motives system along with that the game will take place in a gigantic sandbox-like dynamic neighborhood.
"The biggest change to The Sims 3 is that it takes place in a wide-open, constantly changing neighborhood -- a much bigger sandbox, if you will, and a much more complex simulation... what you do outside your home now matters as much as what you do within.
The game also sees a major shift in how Sims' motives are handled: Individual meters indicating bladder and sleep-deprivation levels are replaced by a new system of discrete moods, the aim being to get players off the treadmill of fulfilling primal eat-sleep-pee-repeat requirements so they can focus more on, well, going out on the brand new town."
Are you ready? Do you think The Sims 3 can be a huge success?

It would have to do something truely significant to attract my interest. Granted, The Sims are good games, but there's only so many expansion packs you can take before the novelty wears off.
It does sound interesting...
I haven't even played sims 2 yet!! :^O
OMFG HOW DID I NOT KNOW ABOUT THIS!!! *cries*
haha i knew it... there were a "trailer" for it in the latest expansion to the sims 2 you are given a computer whit a specially game, "maybe its a sign of things to come" and you sims can play the sims 3 :p
I don't like The Sims, and news of this just means that I'll be forced to make more room on my computer for when my little brother and sister get a hold of this title.
By the way, it's the second sequel, not the third.
It's not the third sequel, it's the second!
