Sims 3 Collector's Edition DVD Game

I finally got my Sims 3 in the mail today!!! ( YEHEY!!!) I've been waiting for this for quite a while now. As a matter of fact, I pre-ordered the game November 8 of last year (2008) to be exact thinking that I would get it a a much lower price and arrives earlier than most (as most pre-orders do.) but mine came late actually, but I assume that's because I chose the collector's edition over the standard one. But hey, it's ok, because since the game came in late, I had the chance to flip through the Sims 3 Strategy Guide that came in the mail first.

Despite my earlier worries, that this desktop of mine won't be able to play the game due to video card problems, installing the game had been a breeze and playing it was even a lot better than I had anticipated! THANK GOD! Good thing, I tried it on the desktop first because if things came to worse, I'll have to install it on my laptop just to be able to play it. ( playing on a laptop is no fun even with a wireless mouse!)

Anyway, I haven't done anything major yet, (as in make a sim for each of my friends and maybe relatives too to play with inside the virtual neighborhood of Riverview) I just made someone totally right off the bat to test the game and it's new features and do far, I'm having a blast playing it! (I didn't get to do my "Korean drama nightly habit" because of my addiction to this game ALL OVER AGAIN! (LOL!)

(I'm playing with no cheats, other than turn off aging, so that I could see how long / far my sim can go in her virtual sim life.)

Celestyne Majors

( My very first sim on Sims 3)

Doesn't look anything like me huh? Celestyne is a combination of my sister's name and my old name (Christine) but I spelled "stine" differently and went with "styne" instead, and for my sister's, I used "Cele" instead of "Celi" for Celina, which is my sister's second name.

Well, Celestyne is my "test sim" since it's my first time to play and go into most of the new features! I love the new CAS (Create A Sim) interface and ALL of the new and old features especially the 5 traits system wherein the player will be able to choose 5 traits their new sim could have. Traits could range from good to bad so you could play an evil character too! So far my only rant about CAS is it's very few hair style choices... but it's expected, it's a NEW GAME afterall.

More on her, tomorrow...
