Take part in the first Community Showcase for The Sims 3! Run to your secret base, Simmers, and roll up your sleeves to devise your plan for your submission for the Good Vs. Evil Community Showcase!

DATES
We will be running this showcase through July 19th, 11:59pm PDT

IDEAS

• Sims – Will your Good Sims have the perfect smile and great fashion sense? Will your Evil Sims walk around with a permanent scowl? Or will looks be deceiving?
• Lots - Do Evil Sims really have a tendency to live in stone-walled houses with torches? Or do they live in modest abodes with some questionable décor? What kind of Lot would a Good Sim live in? Will it be eco-friendly with gardens to nourish an entire family?
• Stories – A Good Sim gone bad? An Evil Sim going soft? An Evil Sim raising an army of gnomes? A Good Sim being…too good? An Evil Sim falling in love with a Good Sim? Weave your tales of Good vs. Evil!
• Movies – Is your story of Good vs. Evil too epic for words? Why not set that Good Vs. Evil story in motion? Use the Create A Movie tool to document your spaghetti westerns or melodramas. For machinima artists who want to submit a movie to YouTube, please email us the link to your submission at: simsvideo@ea.com

A FEW NOTES ABOUT SUBMITTING
Please make sure to give proper credit to any custom content that you use in your submission. Please include “Good vs. Evil Showcase” in either the title or description of your upload. After uploading, you can post a link to your creation in the forums so we can access them easily.

MOST IMPORTANTLY HAVE FUN!

Much like the base game of Spore, most of Galactic Adventures‘ problems seem to be due to the fact there are so many potential variables in the game. In having to cater for every possible creature combination, certain problems arose specifically in the creature stage such as clipping and less responsive controls than you’d expect from a standard third-person game. Since the adventure mode is heavily based on that stage, most of those issues return, but this time more pronounced given some of the more complicated abilities of your captain such as targeting ranged weaponry.

First add on the Sims 3 to land, Destination Adventure offers travel scenery to break the dullness of everyday life.

A title that leaves little doubt about the contents of the first additional disk, but still expect some details of key stakeholders to learn more. Meanwhile, divaguons on and extrapolate what will happen in this Destination Adventure. Of course, the extension will make the beautiful exotic travel history of sims away tired of their new city. But it is also an opportunity to engage in other activities, with real chunks of gameplay in it? A sort of The Sims 2: Naufragés that would bring a breath of freshness and interest to the series? To check this fall at the output of this additional content eagerly awaited by many fans of the series.
