MySims detailed, dated

By Tim Surette, GameSpotPosted Feb 27, 2007 12:15 pm PT

EA sends word that the Wii, DS Sims spin-off will be released this fall; players will become urban planners for cartoonlike citizens.

The Sims: Children of the Corn.

Word of a new spin-off of The Sims that could only be called "cute" first spread back in November, when screenshots first appeared in the Japan media. Electronic Arts soon confirmed that a new Sims game was being created for the Wii, and in February added the DS to the game's destinations.

Now EA has a few more nuggets of information on the new direction the series is taking. Previously announced with a vague release date of EA's coming fiscal year, MySims is now expected to be available this fall.

EA also confirmed that the game will involve more than just dressing up digital dolls. Players will shape a rundown town into a flourishing community and help premade Sims adjust to life by building new businesses or improving existing ones. Gamers will also be able to design furniture and appliances from a selection of building blocks, patterns, and "engaging creativity tools."

For more information, head over to the game's Web site.

    This game's perfect for me! I've played Sims 2 at a friend's house And I liked it except for the sex and adult themes etc. I'm just not that kind of person. This is Sim's for kids. Awesome!

    It would be a major turn off if they characters were the same old life sized ones. I'm so glad they made it this way.

    I'm overjoyed at this announcement. I could never get into the sims franchise because they all seemed the same. One game kinda faded into the next. However, I dig ACWW and the prospect of a town and villagers is right up my ally. It's like AC with people.

    This game would intrigue me if it wasn't for the graphics lookin all childlike and like animal crossing. I guess im not the sorta guy for such japanese styles.

    I like The Sims but this one is too childish for me. But I will still end up trying it.

    Won't help the Wii's "kiddy" image any, but it looks like it will be a fun game, I know I'll try it.
