Wired over Sims 3

Wired heeft een preview online gezet van Sims 3.

The Sims 3 also does away with some of the duller parts of virtual life management. Keeping your Sims in good spirits is key to making friends and staying employed, but earlier games forced players to do a lot of babysitting. The Sims are now a bit more autonomous, and dramatic status changes will trigger "moodlets" that alert a player when a Sim's needs have become dire.

That means less time spent shepherding your digital self to the bathroom. And if you're plagued by a particularly lazy or messy Sim, you'll be able to interact directly with the environment, tossing out the trash or fetching the newspaper off the front porch.
