The Sims 3 Live Broadcast 9/17 Breakdown

      So the Sims 3 Live broadcast aired on September 17 was showcasing The Sims 3 Into the Future, Midnight Hollow, and for some strange reason The Sims 3 Movie Stuff. Now I did not get the chance to see the live broadcast live due to school so I figure I wait till the replay. Well it turns out I was waiting for a while because the live broadcast replay is set to private since Tuesday and at the moment the video is still private. But I noticed that instead of trying to fix it the sims 3 team apparently uploaded separate videos of the live broadcast on Youtube and that is great for some one who saw the broadcast when it first aired and they just want to see a certain section of it but for someone like me I wanted to see the whole thing instead of the separate videos and these videos don't even include the Q&A portion. But thankfully some lucky simmer posted the live broadcast in full on youtube and I will post that one here on my blog, so here it is.


     So what did I think of this live broadcast? Well first off I loved the King Cho was hosting it because I am not a fan of Ryan and his fake excitement. King I feel has more of a personality when makes for a much more interesting broadcast. So the for thing on the agenda was The Sims 3 Movie Stuff??? First of I am a little puzzled as to why they are showing off this game because the game is already out so half of the simmers out there already know what is in this pack because they have been playing it for sometime. And honestly I felt like I was watching a review of the pack where they show off the contents, clothes, and items and I already have seen all of this stuff b/c A) I have the game and B) there are already reviews like this from youtube lets players. So I truly felt this point of the broadcast was pointless and unnecessary, maybe they just wanted to make the broadcast longer so they figured why not add The Movie Stuff Pack again in the broadcast even though its out in stores and simmers already know what is in the pack already, good job sims 3 team good job. If this was the case they should have extended the walkthrough of Midnight Hollow so Lisa could have showed off the CAS items instead of having her make it later and putting it up on youtube, which by the way it still isn't up, but I think it would have made the broadcast ten times better to see more info on Midnight Hollow.
      So with that being said lets get to beginning of the broadcast well at least for me, The Sims 3 Into the Future. King Cho did the pre-made walkthrough of the game where he showed off some female CAS clothing, hair, and makeup, should the sim synthesizing some food and made some Chocolate Gnomes, he showed us a plumbot who is afraid of humans and fainted on the spot and the he dirties the floor hopefully he has a cleaning chip so he can clean his own mess. Then we saw the Quantum Power Chamber:


 This Chamber comes with the limited edition of the game when you pre-order it and you can also change into a quantum power suit which allows you to transport to any community lot which is awesome now you have another way to travel in the future if you have the limited edition. Also I totally forgot about theses guys.


I think the sprites are too cute!!! Sprites are the new digi pets in the future if you have the holo disk object and you can also unlock more sprites over time. Then we got a look at the wasteland and the mysterious crash landed space ship and to get into the space ship well just like the map pieces in Island Paradise you would have to collect at least 4 mysterious fragments which will create a key that unlocks the ship. Inside of the ship are chambers with pedestals with different items to collect and you can also unlock program chips for stuff related to the sims 4 like the wall art and the dream pod. And while in the wasteland we got a look at the new plant the crystal plant.


The crystal plants are pretty cool not only can you plant them but you can inject them with emotions like love, happiness, laughter, and rage where you can use it on yourself or give it to another sim and you can also plant it in your own garden. Also now when you pre-order with origin along with the quantum power set you also get the Dark Industrial Set and from what King told us the set has like a Steampunk type of a vibe, as of right now no pic has been release at least to my knowledge but I will look out for it and when I do see it I will post it right here on this post.

Here is the origin exclusive content if you order ITF from Origin. it has that rustic industrial type look and I guess its ok its not as good as the limited edition item that you get if you order it from anywhere. I only saw this because its ITF related and this does not feel like the future.And that ends the ITF part of the broadcast now the moment everyone has been waiting for a first look at the final sims 3 store world Midnight Hollow!!!
       Midnight Hollow I think will be my new favorite sims 3 world my old favorite was Dragon Valley mostly because of the dragons and because the world reminded me of Charmed for some reason. So Lisa our favorite store world guru showed off the new world which releases next Thursday!!! So first impression from map view the world looks huge I don't know if its just me but store worlds seem to be getting bigger and bigger. But anyway I really like the concept behind the world this dark, victorian type feel and I like that kinda like Dragon Vally this world is also secluded from everything else because of the valley around it while the town itself kept it vintage appeal. So Lisa showed off the pieces available with the Savvy Sellers Collection which include some rugs, a couple of pedestals, and a new parking space. Now just like the Open for Business concept for the sims 2 the sims 3 works the same way but a little more advanced with sims 3 features, you can sell any item in build/buy mode from toilets to cars but it does not include collectables like minerals, seashells from Island Paradise and other things that your sims collect these items you CAN'T sell. Now you can set prices either individually, one item one price, or collectively all items same price. Then we got a look at the new venue that comes with the gold edition and that is The Golden Ticket Toy Store:


Yup that is right guys toy making is back in the sims and it is pretty sweet. The toy store is amazing when I first saw it my mind already began thinking of so many ideas that I can do with that toy store and some many other Toy Store's I can make with the items from the Toy Store. Does that ever happen to you? Like when you hear of a new item coming out with the sims especially when it comes to this world in general and you begin thinking off all the new items and shops you can now make with the open for business content. I know when the world was announced and we learned we are getting Open for business aspect back in the game I immediately knew I wanted to revamp all of my worlds with different shops. So Lisa also told us that YES our world will turn red just like in the pictures and I think that its awesome it will give this world that spooky eerie feel and I love that aspect and I like the fact that there will be no daylight in a sense. This world just brings so much nostalgia from the sims 2 from the Open for Business aspect, to the toy maker, and even the background music which is from the sims 2 and I just think those elements alone is what makes this world stand out from other worlds and I can't wait to get my hands on it. Oh and one last thing before I go in my last post I said stick with the standard version for now when you buy the world well for me at least that advice has changed because I defiantly want that Toy Store and I will be getting that gold edition. lol Happy simming guys!!!
