Best Buy

[melanie]

I haven't confirmed this yet but I may go at my lunch time to see if this is true. Got this info from The Sims 3 forums.

This week (May 31 - June 6) visit your local Best Buy retail store to purchase the $10 Sims Cash card for only $5!

EDIT3: 8 minutes later got an email saying my order was ready to pick up w00t!

EDIT4: Went to lunch and picked them up! I'm so excited now!!

EDIT5: Apparently this offer is only good in the US that we know of for sure.

TRS - custom content tool

[melanie]

For those who are worried about the possibility of having costume content in their game The Sims Resource (TRS) is working on a costume content tool for the Sims 3.

There is a thread at Snooty Sims that clarifies what is going on.

TSR releases Sims 3 costume content workshop soon (for free)

So.. how will you start playing

Imagine the following...

It's finally here. The packages gleams green in your hand and you are overcome with a feeling of giddiness, joy and overwhelming well-being.

You unwrap the wrap like a kid unwrapping a Christmas gift, pop open the DVD Box and there, gleaming in front of you is IT, your very own copy of Sims 3!

You install it! Waiting impatiently for it to install, amusing yourself the best you can whilst secretly screaming at your computer "FINISH ALREADY! I MUST PLAY!"

Finally, it indicates it's installed!!!

You start the game!!

Now what?
