The new woohoo location, an old classic, the photobooth!Īfter Woohooing in the photo booth, one of the Sims will pick up the photos that were taken. There is a real sense of nostalgia in seeing the photo booth, pool table, mechanical bull, electro-dance sphere and other fan favourites return – and of course, the photo booth is a new Woohoo location. The first thing that struck me about Showtime was just how many familiar objects were returning in this pack from The Sims 1 and 2. New objects, and returning fan favourites

This article is based on my experiences from playing the game, and also some information comes from talking to Mike Cox, producer on Showtime, who gave us a few demonstrations throughout the day, and who patiently answered our questions. Some details may change between the version I played and the final build. Please note that these hands-on impressions are based on an early build of the game, and not the final build. After Showtime is released, I’ll have a new favourite. I genuinely thought I would hate Ambitions, and it turned out to be my favourite pack. This isn’t the first time a Sims expansion pack has surprised me this way. I had a lot of fun playing the game and totally forgot about the questions until we had just about an hour left, at which point I rushed through the list with the assistance of the fabulous shoeprozac from the EA UK forums. Nonetheless, I went to London with an open mind last Friday, and armed myself with a list of questions that people significantly more interested in the expansion than myself had been asking on .įirst and foremost, if I totally failed to answer the question you asked me on, I want to apologise.

Plus from watching the trailers of the game, I couldn’t help thinking the concept overlapped a lot with Late Night.

I dislike TV talent shows, pop stars in general, and celebrity culture. At first glance, the Showtime expansion pack doesn’t seem to have much that a Simmer like me would enjoy.
