All TS3 English Info In One Thread Prior To Game Release (FINAL UPDATE: June 1, 2009)
For your very own convenience, I decided to condense all Sims 3 English info ever posted on the Internet here in one thread (i.e., fan event reports, articles, previews, reviews, etc.) as well as future ones. This is a convenient collection project I started and I will continue to do this until the game is released. If I'm missing any links, please let me know so that I can update this!
Also, if any of you want to join in and add new info onto this thread along with new photos and videos, please feel free. Just make sure to add a title to your post and an icon so that it can be easier to notice when scrolling through this mega thread (not required, just recommended).
Thank you to all posters of the original articles and to all the posters of current and future original articles, as well as the ones who originally found the sources!
