(NASDAQ: EA) today announced that\u00a0The SimsTM<\/sup>\u00a03 Supernatural<\/em>\u00a0Expansion Pack<\/em>* is now available at retailers nationwide and for digital download on PC and Mac. InThe Sims 3 Supernatural,\u00a0<\/em>players will experience the madness of the werewolves\u2019 full moon, the menace of vampires, the magic of witches, and the mischief of fairies as they explore the new world of Moonlight Falls. Intoxicating magic and spellbinding surprises await players as they fully embody a supernatural life, playing as new types of Sims with mysterious powers and enchanting traits.<\/p>\n

\u201cThis expansion pack adds a new, magical dimension to\u00a0The Sims<\/em>\u00a0experience, opening up a world of storytelling possibilities,\u201d said Kari St. John, Senior Producer for\u00a0The Sims\u00a0<\/em>Studio\u00a0.\u00a0<\/em>\u201cWe\u2019re excited to put creative tools in the hands of our players, giving them the ability to tell contemporary stories inspired by this supernatural theme.\u201d<\/p>\n

A cast of supernatural characters introduce fun new gameplay options to the world of\u00a0The Sims 3<\/em>. Players can live out supernatural lives as werewolves, fairies, witches and vampires, all of which are completely customizable in the Create A Sim tool. Witches can challenge one another in spellcasting duels or show off their high-flying tricks in the magic broom arena. Werewolves can hunt for collectibles and change at will between their human and wolf forms. Fairies can play pranks and cast beneficial auras, while vampires stalk the night and use their seductive powers to convince other Sims to join their undead ranks.<\/p>\n

Aside from a cast of new supernatural Sims,\u00a0The Sims 3 Supernatural<\/em>\u00a0offers many additional gameplay features available to all Sims in the game, supernatural or not. Any player can choose to build their Sim\u2019s \u00a0skill in alchemy, mixing a variety of potent elixirs that range from love potions to vampiric sunscreen and even zombification brews. Sims will explore the mysterious world of Moonlight Falls as they uncover hidden secrets and collect rare ingredients, allowing them to ultimately create more powerful elixirs. Sims who truly hone this craft can reach the status of master alchemist, and those looking to earn a few extra simoleons can visit the local alchemy shop to sell their concoctions.<\/p>\n

In addition to werewolves, fairies, witches and vampires, players can expect to see many more ghosts amidst the supernaturals in their town. For the first time in\u00a0The Sims 3,\u00a0<\/em>players can customize ghost Sims by selecting their cause of death, with options including \u2018death by drowning\u2019, \u2018death by fire\u2019 and \u2018death by meteor.\u2019\u00a0The Sims 3 Supernatural<\/em>\u00a0also adds a completely new death type, \u2018death by jelly beans,\u2019 for those Sims prone to over-indulgence.<\/p>\n

Set in a foggy and secluded valley, the new world of Moonlight Falls adds a mysterious backdrop to\u00a0The Sims 3 Supernatural<\/em>\u00a0and introduces new venues for Sims to explore. Supernatural Sims have their own lurk-worthy hangouts, including Varg\u2019s Tavern, where werewolves congregate by the light of the full moon. Sims can also visit the traveler\u2019s caravan to have their fortunes told, or choose the fortune-telling career path as either a legitimate medium or a bogus psychic.<\/p>\n

Players can control the lunar cycle in their game for the first time in\u00a0The Sims 3 Supernatural<\/em>. With the rise of the full moon, players will notice strange happenings and changes in magical potency as both supernatural and ordinary Sims are affected. Players can customize the duration of the lunar cycle or choose to play with a continuous full moon for an especially peculiar and enchanted game experience.<\/p>\n

With\u00a0The Sims 3 Supernatural<\/em>, players will discover a rich new world filled with supernatural Sims, curses and charms, unpredictable transformations, high-flying hijinks and other spooky surprises. Embrace the supernatural with the latest expansion pack from\u00a0The Sims 3<\/em>\u00a0and play with life in magical, mysterious and mischievous new ways.<\/p>\n
