On Monday this week, numerous sources including Sims2Network and IGN discovered that Gamma Ray and Feng Zhu Design listed The Sims 3 among a list of projects to which they were involved with. When approached about this, EA responded with the following:
"EA knows that fans of the Sims just can't get enough of the franchise," an EA spokesperson told IGN. "As a company we are always exploring new ideas for how we can bring more great Sims games to these gamers, but until EA announces that a new Sims game is in the works, any speculation would be premature."
Maxis started work on The Sims 2 while they were still releasing expansion packs for the original game, so it's very possible that work on The Sims 3 has begun. Chances are though that it's still a long way off (years?), as The Sims 2 still has a lot going for it.

What do you guys think of that?
What sort of things would you like to see in the sims 3?

I believe I've known about this since I read the wiki page on the Sims. Hopefully the 3rd will be 3 times better than 2! I'm very excited but not about the wait sad

Yeah! Gosh, I've seen that a lot of people want to be able to murder other sims, and for teens to be able to get pregnant.

I don't like the murder idea, but it is pretty realistic for teens to get pregnant!

I seriously doubt it will ever be that real as that would require a higher than Teen rating.

I am hoping that we'll get some variety. Tall sims, short sims, and genes to go with that. I'd like different body shapes as well too.

I want to see some thing that is compatible with sims and sims 2 if a sims 3 came out it would be years of waiting before we fianly see sims 3 patches, sims 3 pets, sims 3 vacation, sims3 businesses etc. I like waiting for every EP to be out then get the game and if Sims 3 isnt XP compatible then I need to upgrade my computer it would be unfair.

I thought that they would've just kept adding on to Sims 2 and add and improve on it rather than start on a new project altogether.

crying I probably won't be able to play the new one for a long time. Probably just be able to play the Sims 2 for another couple of years. Just like with the first Sims.

GOD YES!!!! blaugh xd blaugh xd blaugh xd blaugh

This is the best news I've heard all day, now I have another thing to wait for.

oh, oh, I hope they make something so you can make in-game custom content like in MySims (I can't work out the 3d editting software D smile

my mind is rather split. Having the sims 3 sounds like fun but i love the sims 2 so much.

I think you can download something to make teen sims pregers and something where 1 sims can strangle another sim.

i think it sounds great =D
but possibly disturbing when it comes to graphics.
i mean, already you can make the sims look so realistic, but still in an animated kind of way.
by the time 3 comes out the graphics will no doubt be better,
it would almost be like playing real people......

as for teens being pregnant, thats be intresting.
i think young adult sims should be able to get pregnant the normal way. [not the boolProp way lol]
i think it would be cool if the YA age was included in the main game ages.
like child, teen, YA, Adult, Elder.


but thats just my opinion lol.
 

[The heart of reality]

I really dislike the idea of a Sims 3.

I mean, TS2 is perfect, so why try to top it?

 

[MikeyCam]

The jury is still out with me.
I don't want to have to buy the expansion packs all over again. From the original Sims to Sims 2 did seem worth while because of all the upgrades. There was aging, pregnancy, more socials... you know, more "real" than the original. I just can't see Sims 3 being that more advanced that they couldn't put it into a Sims2 expansion pack and just advance the game that way.

Guess we'll wait and see if the rumor is true.

Not that Sims 3 wouldn't be awesome, Im still hoping for some more expansion packs for sims 2 like makin magic. In a way I don't want there to be a sims 3 cause well there would be no more sims 2 expansion packs, and I've already spent A LOT of money on sims 2 expansions, and then I'd have to spend even more on new expansion packs for sims 3 that are probably already made for sims 2. I think that if they make something that will slowly upgrade the sims 2, that would be awesome!
