Sims3 News JULY

New Sims3 Store Items:

The Sims3 Store has updated with a completely new set called the "Ultra Lounge" set. Get 50 items for 19 dollars. Or, if you're unlucky and need to buy them in Euros, the price is 23 Euros ($32,-).
There are also a few new hairstyles and clothes, which ofcourse are not in this set.
As you may have noticed, I'm not that excited about this store and though as a newsreporter I need to stay objective, I believe these prices are totally ridiculous.
But anyway, check it out here: Ultra Lounge set

Sims3 EP:

It's confirmed; The first Sims 3 expansionpack will be here in November. On a French gaming site, the following title was found: The Sims 3: Destination Aventure.
Note that there's no official statement from EA about this pack yet, but is expected very soon.

Sims 3 Patch

For those starting up their Sims 3 game, you have noticed the message of a new patch. Several people are having problems with this patch, like unable to install or game problems.
I too have experienced this and fortunately, after re-installing the patch worked. It seems that certain mods, like the censorpatch causes this. If you have a backup of the original file, first place it back before applying the patch. If you haven't, search for it on the game cd.
Check the Sims 3 forum for more possible solutions: TheSims3.com forum
