The Sims 3

The Sims 3

The Sims 3 is an upcoming social simulation game for Microsoft Windows. It is the sequel to the highly popular and critically acclaimed The Sims and The Sims 2 computer games. The game is due to be released on February 20, 2009; a collector’s edition will also be available.

Teasers and previews

In the 7th expansion pack for The Sims 2, The Sims 2: FreeTime, an event occurs in which a Sim-version of Rod Humble, The Sims 3‘s executive producer, gives the player’s Sim family an unopened gift box. When opened, the family gets a computer with The Sims 3 on it. The Sims 3 game cannot be bought in the catalog. Sims can then play The Sims 3 on their computers or console systems. Like all the other games that Sims can play in The Sims 2, The Sims 3 is a looping game play video shown on the player’s Sim’s computer screens when played by a Sim.

Sims at work

The game will also incorporate further aspects of real life, including several new jobs. Some available careers are politics, criminal, military, science, chef, and entertainment. Each career has a workplace building in the neighborhood, which Sims travel to for their shifts. Sims can also apply for jobs with these buildings. Though Sims are hidden inside buildings during the workday, the player can control their behavior at work to a certain extent. Like previous Sims games, the job yields “opportunities” – tasks that could be finished for a reward. There are also part-time jobs. Sims can also take actions to increase their productivity while not at work, such as bringing work home or working overtime.

New High School Musical Rumours!

The real-life backdrop of High School Musical is getting into the act.

East High School in Salt Lake City, Utah – which provided several of the locations for Zac Efron, Vanessa Hudgens and the others when they shot the Disney Channel’s High School Musical and High School Musical 2 – has jumped on the bandwagon and will produce its own stage version of the smash hit.

“This is a really great opportunity,” Kevin McClellan, the school’s drama teacher, tells the Salt Lake City Tribune – despite some initial reservations about doing the show on campus.

“We were apprehensive about it at first because we were so tired of it,” drama club president Amber Lee, a senior, told the paper.

Part of the hesitation had to do with the school’s becoming a tourist destination. Over the summer, 40 to 50 people a day reportedly stopped by with their cameras to see where Troy (Efron) frolicked with Gabriella (Hudgens).

“So many people coming here and taking pictures,” said Lee, “It kind of gets annoying after a while.”

Yet not everyone is displeased. “It’s quite the buzz,” said school principal Paul Sagers – noting that the PTA is seizing the opportunity and selling East High School T-shirts.

“The traffic has been unbelievable,” Sagers says.

Drama coach McClellan foresees involving some 200 students in some aspect of the production. And though Ayden Jensen, a senior, won’t be actively participating – since he’s not an actor, he tells the Tribune – he will be cheering it on.

“Since they filmed High School Musical here,” he says, the show, which will run from Nov. 7 to 12, should “bring more people since [the school]’s already famous for it.”

New High School Musical 3 Rumours!

Zac was seen arriving at JFK airport yesterday before catching a connection flight to Salt Lake City, Utah, to join the rest of the cast for dance rehearsals. Zac arrived from London where he was filming the upcoming movie Me and Orson Welles. More photos behind the cut.

After months about speculation about who would return and who would not for the final High School Musical movie, Disney announced this week that the entire original cast has signed on for High School Musical 3.  Returning cast members include: Zac Efron, Vanessa Hudgens, Ashley Tisdale, Lucas Grabeel, Monique Coleman, Corbin Bleu, and Olesya Rulin.  The plot revolves around the students of East High in their senior year and planning out their futures.  The original plot was rumored to be a Halloween movie entitled Haunted High School Musical.  Yeah, Plan B was a much better idea!

Senior year puts a strain on the Troy and Gabriella’s relationship as the two have

different ideas about where they want to go to college.  Though no solid plot details have been released yet, we can speculate about where the Wildcats will want to continue their education.  There is no doubt that Troy’s father will want him to play college ball which could put him at University of North Carolina, UCLA, or Texas A&M.  Smart girls Gabriella and Taylor will most likely be looking at top schools, perhaps Ivy League.  That would put Gabriella far away from her boyfriend if she applied to schools such as Yale, Princeton, or Columbia.  As for Troy and Sharpay, they might look to head to a big city such as New York or Los Angeles to become stars.

Currently, previous cast members in smaller roles such as Chris Warren Jr. (Zeke), Ryne Sanborn (Jason), and Kaycee Stroh (Martha) have not been announced as being part of High School Musical 3.  IMDB lists Bart Johnson (Coach Bolton), Leslie Wing (Lucille Bolton), and Alyson Reed (Ms. Darbus) as definite HSM3 cast members.  However, more announcements regarding the third movie are expected over the next few months as production kicks into full gear.

HIGH SCHOOL MUSICAL 3`S PIZZA PARTY!

Vanessa and Ashley were spotted at a Pizza Parlour in Salt Lake City, Utah yesterday, full info below.

The rehearsing cast of High School Musical 3 took a snack break at local Salt Lake City pizza parlor Settebello Pizzeria Napoletana last Tuesday, E! News has learned.

Disney stars Ashley Tisdale and Vanessa Hudgens patronized the joint and split a margherita pizza and salad, with the total bill coming to less than $20 bucks.

And according to Mike the manager, the girls left a very generous tip, doubling the actual bill. “They were supernice and generous and left a big tip. Really big. Really nice of them.”
