Electronic Arts have unveiled new screenshots and information for their upcoming release of The Sims 3: Supernatural, primarily pertaining to Fairy and Zombie Sims which are both introduced in this game, the former being a new life state in the Sims series as a whole.
Fairies and fickle and magical supernaturals with an innate connection to the natural world. From the start of the game, fairies will naturally appear as human-like creatures with fluttering wings. Though special interactions they will be able to transform into their true form which resembles a glowing insect that is miniscule in size. Fairies can created in Create A Sim and have a slew of new customization options available that range from choosing the shape and colour of their wings to adjusting the pointiness of their ears. Fairies often bestow gifts to others and carry special auras that increase their skills as well as the skills of those around them.
In contrast to lithe and sprightly fairies, The Sims 3 Supernatural introduces moaning and roaming zombies to the game. These lumbering creatures have just two things on their mind: brains and grains! As they shuffle through the neighborhood, zombies attempt to nibble on Sims and pick at their well-manicured planter boxes. Not even other supernatural Sims are immune to zombification! A bite from one of these brain-hungry creatures can leave your Sims with temporary or long-last effects. Although zombies cannot be created in Create A Sim, zombification can occur in a variety of different ways, so Sims should be on the lookout for a zombie attack at all times. At the moment they have not unveiled all the ways that you can transform your Sims into the walking undead, but they have mentioned two of them as:
- A Sim can use the alchemy table to brew a zombifiction elixir and throw it at another Sim
- Or, a Sim can be bitten by a meandering zombie
Of course, if you regret your decision, it is always possible to produce an elixir and bring them back to life.
The Sims 3: Supernatural is the seventh expansion pack in The Sims 3 series and is currently slated for release in September 2012.
