As no two weeks before the official release of The Sims 3 was announced a postponement, the Sim-fans - understandably - very disappointed, especially since no real reasons of EA for the shift mentioned above. They spoke only generally assumed that one more time for marketing needs.
Now EA has this, but to speak. The reason for the postponement of The Sims 3 is in a serious bug in the testing phase shortly before the planned release was found. When babies in the neighborhood come to the world, the computer assigns a name for the offspring. It appeared on the bow: from the second generation were all male Sims Will Wright's name and all female Sims named John Riccitiello, without that the name be changed.
As this error could arise, the developer is still incomprehensible. Currently we are still working to resolve this bug. Press the thumb that he had to 4th June has been rectified.
