Town/Lots
Although not yet confirmed, there is mention from the Sims 3 Pets Promo Page under the News Tab about a new world.
Each platform brings a new world for players to explore from the Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3 versions where players will unlock achievements by solving mysteries around town, the Nintendo 3DS with new lots to unlock to the PC/Mac version where they’ll be able to take their pets on play dates or meet other Sims at the dog park, cat jungles and even a horse ranch.
Now a “new world” can be interpreted in different ways, one being the game brings “a whole new light” for players (as far as interactions & gameplay go) or indeed a new neighborhood. I’m hoping for the latter!
There is also mention from the Exclusive content that we will be able to change the look and feel of our town with the new Lot.
Change the look and feel of your Sims’ town with an exclusive venue!
