The Sims 3 Getting University Life, Island Paradise, And An Unannounced Expansion In 2013

I've been wanting to get back into Sims 3 lately. I still have a custom world I haven't finished that a fair amount of people on Mod The Sims were looking forward to my finishing and uploading, but I shelved the project for a while in favor of stuff like getting a job and getting my life started and stuff.

Havent played a Sims game since my youth, when so many years ago, I played the original one. I remember not really getting into it, not becasue it was a bad game, but for reasons that most likely had something to do with me being too young to understand the true concept of the game. Now, reading about Sims 3 and the many expansions, I think I might get a copy and give it an actual try. Afterall, the only thing I remeber doing when I played the original was builing a place with no doors and letting the Sims starve to death. Of course, I would probably still do that to the first poor Sim that ever questioned my god complex ;-)

The Sims 3 is kinda cool in that there are no loading screens. You can physically walk your Sim down to the store or explore a town on foot, no more 'instanced' stores and locations. The entire city is seamless.

I got off the horse a few years ago (I still have my sobriety chip). I just can't go back there, I'll never return. Fortunately I have Shogun 2, I don't feel as weird dumping hours into that.
But there was a time...
