We’re pleased to announce that The Simsâ„¢ 3 World Adventures*, the first expansion pack for The Sims 3, has gone gold for the PC and Mac and will be available in the UK from November 20th.

Sims can now go on the journey of a lifetime in The Sims 3 World Adventures. They can run from mummies in Al Simhara, Egypt, fill the sky with fireworks purchased from locals in Shang Simla, China and master the art of nectar-making in France. Along the way, they can capture the funny, scary and exciting moments while using the brand new photography skill. Once they have completed their quests players can bring their treasures home with them to reminisce and share. And, when players register their copy of the PC/Mac version of the game online, they will be able to enjoy exclusive game content with the Explorer’s Loot Set and 1,000 SimPoints** for The Sims 3 Store; great for adding that extra customisation to their game.

The Sims fans around the world will be rockin’ out to new Simlish music in The Sims 3 World Adventures Expansion Pack. Over a dozen artists will lend their Simlish voice stylings to the game including GRAMMY Award-winners Nelly Furtado and LeAnn Rimes plus hot rising stars Matt + Kim, Fefe Dobson, Pixie Lott, Natalie Portman’s Shaved Head, Katie Melua, Esmee Denters, Young Punx!, Evan Taubenfeld, Madina Lake, and more.
