On Kotaku.com there are two interesting articles about The Sims 3, that have been written during a meeting with Associate Producer Grant Rodiek (his name may sound familiar because he has written a blog for the official website).

They're both in English, and you can find them here and here.

The first article is about Sims and the supernatural world: every Sim game, in fact, has its own weird being - from aliens to werewolves, from PlantSims to witches. The Sims 3 feature ghosts, that can also be playable!

The second article gives a general overview of the game: what has been improved, what's new and what's the same, with interesting details about the criminal career! You can also find a couple of lines about the game's postponement, and it totally worths to read.

Enjoy!
