Sims 3 gold
EA announced that Sims 3 has gone gold, meaning it's off to the factory to be duplicated. Read a bit about this here: http://pc.gamespy.com/pc/the-sims-3/980993p1.html

New screen shots
IGN posted a small article with a bit more info about the downloadable city Riverview. They also posted 6 new screen shots of which 3 are posted below.
Check the other 3 (CAS) screen shots here: http://media.pc.ign.com/media/802/802129/imgs_1.html

Wow that first screenshot made my eyes burn...terrible graphics there...you would think that EA could do better than that!

[Tenshii~Akari]

I wouldn't say it's all that bad... just not very appealing to the fashion-conscious simmer.  And especially to some of us CC freaks and those who had much higher expectations for this game.  I still say those sims desperately need some new genetics sets.  But who am I kidding?  All I can do is hope it's not as over-hyped as it seems for those who plan on getting it. 

As always, thanks for the info and updates, maniac.

Is it me, or does this screen shots look like Claymation? And I still can't get over how ridiculously cartoony the in-game models look. They took a step back with this game, BIG time IMO.

I agree Tenshii~Akari the sims in TS3 do need some better genetics but hey remember how fugly the sims looked in TS2 before anyone even knew what CC was? I am experiencing that again first-hand playing the story mode in The Sims Life Stories. The game will allow little to almost no custom content so I am stuck with a minimum of like 6 dining chairs and all the ugly maxis clothes again! ahh lol so I think maybe TS3 will be better than what people are saying it wont be, but I just can't get over how cartoonish they look..like there eyes look like my little sisters barbie doll eyes..and they just need ALOT of work along with the game how Sim Oneish it looks but I guess everything can't be perfect seeing as there will be no load times and everybodys computer can run the game (highly unlikely)

I think we've all been spoiled by the custom content in TS2 as for someone that has only been playing for just over a year it dosen't look THAT bad.

alas it dosen't meen that i'm gonna rush out and buy it 'cause i've been spoiled as well.

and the inability to create CC for it, these pics will be the best it will ever get i guess.

At least their clothes matched unlike Goopy's odd choice and fashion sense.

[SimGirl20]

lol chaavik you know you love goopy

[Chaavik]

Me? With a new hairstyle and a new set of threads, yeah he looks pretty good. But to love him? Nope, that's EMMA's job.

[SimGirl20]

Emma?

[Chaavik]

Yes, Emma.. She's usually found at either MATY or Simbology and is legendary for her professed love to Goopy.  It's a joke for her and other people. 

[SimGirl20]

lol oh okay

[MaryH]

Emma is also famous for Pescado stalking her and declaring "Death to Emma!"

He does it nearly every time she posts.

MATY wouldn't be the place it is if there weren't some memes at work.
