Are your sights set on June 2nd?

If so, don't talk to me. Don't even LOOK at me!

Sims 3 doesn't dispatch for me until June 5th. And I'm just going to spit, snarl and growl at anyone who says how marvellous THE GAME I STILL HAVEN'T RECEIVED is being.

I know this is a rather swift change of heart. Not two months back, I was folding my arms, shaking my head and saying that Sims 3 wouldn't be on my PC. But TSR announcing custom tools has changed all that, and better still, the awesomest, brilliantest Inge Jones (shameless fan-girling as I fondly remember superb prison-set hacks that so changed my game) has offered to share/swap coding info with TSR. Ultimately, whatever tools we have available to us, I think we can assume they'll be brilliant - again.

Oh, and for UK readers (and anyone else who subscribes to any English magazines), PC Format (long known for being sick and tired of Sims 2 dominating the Top 10 charts since forever and having unremarkable reviews of Sims 2 EPs) have given a three page glowing spread, saying how radically different the gameplay will be, the innovations EA have produced, the past annoyances that EA have stamped out. They concluded (with a rare 91% game score) that the game is incredibly addictive. Their only 'down' mark was also that the game is incredibly addictive(!).

It's STILL only May 30th. :(

Haven't read the review in PC Format, I gave up with that a long time ago. But PC Gamer's review made me laugh. Usually, if it's not a WWII shoot em up or some rip of
clone, they ain't interested but I loved the way they reviewed Sims 3
through making their office staff into Sims. They gave it 90% if I remember rightly.

I just CANNOT wait what WONDERFUL things you will come up with Sue! I guess it will be worth the wait. I would hate the Sims3 without the <strong><em>cyclonesueishnishes </em></strong>! :P

I have sympathy for you Sue as I too have to wait until June 5th! $\:wub\:$   I'm trying to keep myself busy with some of the Sims 2 challenges until my copy arrives. I think they are going to be right about it being addictive, just look at the Sims 2. :P 
It's 1st June, not long now! $\:\)$

LOL I remember the arm crossing and head shaking!  We don't get it here until the 4th .... my biggest problem will be deluxe or standard?  Seems the car is the only game inclusion in the deluxe version.... though I could be wrong.  Can't wait to see what wonders you create cyclonesue!
