Katy Perry talks Christmas and The Sims + New Sims Stuff Pack



To celebrate the launch of The Sims 3 Seasons, we thought we’d have a chat with Katy Perry to ask her all things Sims and holiday related. How nice.

Katy spoke to us all about Christmas related things and her bright pink bush… tree… same diff. Here’s how it went:

So Katy, if could turn someone into a Sim in The Sims 3 Seasons, who would it be?
I think if I could turn someone or something close to me into a Sim I’d probably turn, hmmm, it’s kind of a tie between my best friend Shannon or my cat, Kitty Purry. It’d be nice to have my cat be a Sim and see what she would look like and what kind of character traits she’d have. I’d love to see her actually talk. It would be my dream to have that cat talk. I know she’s had so much on her mind ever since she’s been at my house.


This is an excuse for a Sims postCollapse )


EA recently went ahead and announced an all-new Stuff Pack for The Sims 3, and this time the content provided will allow you to travel back in time and explore fashion and décor of yore.

Releasing on January 25th 2013, The Sims 3 70s, 80s, & 90s Stuff Pack will add hairstyles, furniture and décor items to The Sims 3, with iconic looks and colours from these three different eras. Bell-bottoms, massive shoulder pads and 90s grunge? It’s all here!




Screenshots and features behind the cutCollapse )

This is mostly just an excuse to talk about The Sims 3 Seasons. Who has it and loves it? All the weather! Holidays! Festivals! Activities! Return of aliens! Best expansion pack to date in my opinion. The new stuff pack might be the first one I actually get for Sims 3 as well.

i really want that sutff pack but i dont want to buy it

i wish seasons came with more clothes and hair
gee 16th-Nov-2012 07:12 pm (UTC)
I am never gonna get seasons lol. Appaloosa Plains is fall enough for me. I don't want stupid rain or snow or hail back on my screen getting in the way ugh.

RN I am repopulating AP with my own sims, I kicked everyone out and redid most of the houses so they are cheaper and have cribs and more beds. I only need to make a few more big families and some old people. I'm running out of ideas tho :S

In the preferences menu you can control what weather you do and don't want to appear in your game.
gee 16th-Nov-2012 07:16 pm (UTC)
I wouldn't want anything so it would be pointless lol. The holidays sound cool but I know it's one of those features i'd do once and then never bother with :x If i had a more souped up laptop i'd probably download it for fun, but it would make stuff too slow.
grotesque_xxx 16th-Nov-2012 07:12 pm (UTC)
i would like to see 20s stuff

gee 16th-Nov-2012 07:17 pm (UTC)
Brit looks very realistic, gj. I suck at making real people sims it's an annoyance.
andthenwevomit 16th-Nov-2012 07:17 pm (UTC)
wow @ Britney and Lana, they look great!
icangoforthat 16th-Nov-2012 07:19 pm (UTC)

the only celeb sim I ever made was Eva Green but that by accident. wasn't even my intention. lol

andres01234 16th-Nov-2012 08:40 pm (UTC)

Late to this post, I know . . . but holy crap, your Sims are amazing. =O What are some of your fav custom content downloads, if you don't mind me asking? I've been wanting to create a "realistic" looking Sim, but I have no idea where to start, haha.
youbeboy 16th-Nov-2012 07:14 pm (UTC)
Didn't read. Is it true that they're doing University after this stuff pack?
jeterluva 16th-Nov-2012 09:15 pm (UTC)
I hope so. I heard they might be working on something like it but no idea when it would come out.
andthenwevomit 16th-Nov-2012 07:14 pm (UTC)

Don't let me down, ONTD!

Fuck the Sims. It's so bullshit, Seasons is a computer killer, especially in you have a Mac. I've managed to semi-fix my game and I've been posting about it on the Sims forum, but it's a DISGRACE. The games they put out are not tested correctly, the patches are halfassed, the Cider is woefully out of date and the support is nill. I have to motherfucking look for HOURS for third party fixes? Fuck that shit.

On the other hand when I actually manage to play the Sims a little, Seasons is nice. But all my previous saves will probably have to be trashed, they're too buggy. FUCK U EA AHHHH ANGER FEELINGS RAWR SMASH.
vehiclesshockme 16th-Nov-2012 07:18 pm (UTC)
I have a Mac and I haven't had any issue with the game at all.
actxappalledx 16th-Nov-2012 07:29 pm (UTC)
really? i downloaded it and it would let me create a person, but as soon as i moved them in, the game would freeze =/ so i haven't been able to play. my mbp is only a year old, too
gee 16th-Nov-2012 07:18 pm (UTC)
I think that EA has started to count on the sims community to fix their shit, so they don't even bother to make sure everything runs right :| No matter how buggy or failtastic something is players are still gonna buy it, and someone will come along and fix it. Damn them.
mellarks 16th-Nov-2012 07:19 pm (UTC)
My game actually started running faster after I installed Seasons.

Do you have NRAAS mods? Overwatch, ErrorTrap, and DebugEnabler fix a fuckton of shit EA didn't/won't and all of his mods make the game 100000x better.

I had the sims on my old laptop and all of the heads were black or something. not blackskinned, but like... BLACK and they were really weird and it was annoying.
lightupmynight 16th-Nov-2012 07:40 pm (UTC)
I was super pissed when I got it and it wouldn't even load the town before crashing, but after some research I just removed my mods folder within the Electronic Arts folder and updated all the mods to their newst versions and every worked!
ditzyexoticbabe 16th-Nov-2012 07:15 pm (UTC)
So I've had the base game, the base game + ambitions, and recently just purchased the base game + supernatural. My game files always get corrupt and I have to install it again with base game disc but they always stop working so ill have to go out and get another copy.. My sim woes.
miss_cassie 16th-Nov-2012 07:15 pm (UTC)
tell me something fun to do on sims.

im bored with all the scenarios ive already exhausted on there.
crystalzelda 16th-Nov-2012 07:18 pm (UTC)
There are some fun sims challenges you can google, I believe
spankmypirate 16th-Nov-2012 07:16 pm (UTC)
It's my birthday next week and I'm thinking of (finally) getting Sims 3. It's the only video game I've ever really enjoyed playing.
helyanwe89 16th-Nov-2012 07:16 pm (UTC)
I haven't played the Sims in a while.

It started just being so slow and freezing so much that it wasn't any fun to play.
superdogbiter 16th-Nov-2012 07:16 pm (UTC)
it's seems fun but it's not my thing

i need the sims 3 seasons like yesterday, but I been hearing that mac users are getting crashes/glitches- the same way pets caused glitches.
vehiclesshockme 16th-Nov-2012 07:18 pm (UTC)
I have a Mac and I haven't had any crashes/glitches with Seasons.
icangoforthat 16th-Nov-2012 07:21 pm (UTC)
this gives me hope. My friend installed hers yesterday and her game kept crashing, same with other peeps on tumblr.

hopefully I wont have any problems since I'm gonna delete all my cc and redownload new one anyway.
crystalzelda 16th-Nov-2012 07:19 pm (UTC)
All I can say is that I have it and my game was a MESS and I had to fix so much of it. People on the Sims mac forum are irate.
classic_mold137 16th-Nov-2012 07:21 pm (UTC)
Really? I'm glad I haven't gotten yet then. Do you know what OS it's having problems with, or is it all of them?
lightupmynight 16th-Nov-2012 07:42 pm (UTC)
If you have a lot of mods like story pregression and stuff just make sure EVERYONE is the newstes version and if it's just a random one that doens't have any updates or whatever get rid of them b/c that's what is fucking up the game. CC installed through the launcher didn't give me any problems and meshed well with all the weather
winninghearts 16th-Nov-2012 08:16 pm (UTC)
I'm going to wait a few months to get it just so all the kinks are hopefully worked out.
