My girlfriend is big on the Sims series. So when I tried to explain what a create a world tool would mean for The Sims 3 I was surprised she wasn't as excited as I am. I've always loved terrain editors, especially the ones that let you warp and model the ground like modeling clay, but from the screen shots I've seen so far this could be my new favorite. The Sims 3 Create a World Tool is now in beta testing and available for download. The new tool will allow users to build entire worlds for their sims to inhabit and explore. Owners of World Adventures will even be able to use the content in the expansion; mixing and matching objects from the original and the new release on one world. Finally, the cherry on the top of this scrumptious time consuming sundae is that users can share their created worlds with The Sims 3 Exchange. Scoop me up some. I'm grabbing my spoon.
