The Sims 3 Leak

Well well, thank you EA for stripping the DRM off your game. I for one appreciate it. It made the leak happen that much sooner.

So here’s me, creating my Sim. Enjoy.

So, my first thoughts? Why is it, that when you switch from female to male, it STILL LOOKS LIKE A GIRL? An extremely butch/lesbian girl, but still. It threw me off there for a moment… you can tell, as I switched to female again, and back to male to see if it would make a difference.

Other than that, I found the create a Sim to be EXTREMELY detailed. I like how you can have a different hair style for each outfit. You can really get down into the fine grain and customize things like shirts and pants. I made my Sim have a near identical shirt to one that my girlfriend Angela bought me, which happens to be one of my favorites.

I really like the traits aspect as well. You’re limited to five, which is kind of strange… but I understand that fully. I picked some traits that I personally think that I have now, and all of my life goals seemed to match, with the exception of becoming a chess legend… WTF? I don’t even play chess in real life. I can be a computer whiz and I can have aspirations, but that doesn’t mean I like to play chess…

Expect (or not, if you know me and my blogging habits) a full review after I play some more, if that ever even happens, because I know Ang will be playing this non-stop for the next few months. Well heck, at least it will break her WoW addiction?
