A: Not at all.

 * Q: Counted The Fact The "Landgrab" Family Appear Within This New Saga Of Sims 3 Characters, Would This Mean That The Landgrab Family Will Do What They Did In "The Sims: Bustin' Out" ? (i.e Destroying Rare Items, For Quests).


 * Q: Ok, Gunter Goth And His Family are The Founders Of Sunset Valley. And Look At all The New Places In The Game, Theres A New Graveyard, And A Beach, And A Museum. But my questions is If Sunset Vally Is Pleasentview A Few Years Back, The Why Don't These Places Appear In The Sims 2 Pleasantview? (NOTE: This Game Must Be Dated Back Very Far, Because The Bridge In Pleasentview Doesn't Appear In Susent Vally, am I right?)

A: Sunset Valley and Pleasantview are completely different nhoods.


 * Q:I Have Noticed All The Premade Sims On The Box Art Seem To All look-A-Like, Is This Going To Effect Every C.A.S? (i.e When I Create Something, will it be able match an NPC with the tools given?)

A: No, they don't actually.


 * Q:If All Of These New Families Appear In The New Game, Then How Come Mortimer Goth Cannot Remember?, There Is A Brand New Family The Game Called "Altos", And There His Parents Arch Enemy, How Come Mortimer Has No Memory Of Them In The Sims 2? (My Guess: They Might Have Been A Spoiler If They Where Remembered But Not Featured. Is that a good guess?)

A: No, you're wrong. The Langraabs are at war with the Altos, and Mortimer is completely unlrelated. Also, remember that the Sims 3 was created AFTER the Sims 2. The devlopers making the Sims 2 wee not concentrating on the Sims 3's story when making it.


 * QThere Was A Mysterious Fire In The Sims 2, Within Mortimers Memory's Ad Least, Acording To The Memory, And The Articles. Mortimer Burned Down His own House By Cooking, If So, Did That Fire Spread?, Because Most Of The Buildings In The Sims 3 Don't appear In The Sims 2, Could this Be The Cause? ...

A: No. Nothing like that will happen.


 * Q I have a few questions that came to me. 1)Will there be churches that Sims can attend? 2) Will teens be able to have tattoos? 3) Will the Caliente, Lothario, Newbie, and Oldie families be returning? 4)Can we create custom neighborhoods like in TS2, or is Sunset Valley going to be the only neighborhood in the base game? I understand if you can't answer some of these, but any answer is fine with me! Mattlovesthesims 16:34, 5 April 2009 (UTC)

 * Q: Many ppl forget that the sims is such a step from the sims 2,making it such a large game that any previews we have now can only cover a small sample of the gaming experience, since many of these previews are on the incomplete game and they arerestricted on not nearly enough time. Especailly since people have to try to get use to the new exciting foreign game,in order to even attempt to compare it to other previous games of the sims genre. keeping that in mindmy question is: Can sims influnce other sims like in the sims 2.
