Sims Superstar Q&A
10:10 AM | Johan Hansén | Comment on this story

The people at GameSpot have posted an interview with Jonathan Knight from Maxis about the upcoming expansion The Sims: Superstar that promises to take your Sims to Hollywood. The expansion will bring some new concepts to the world of The Sims. One such is the "fame score."

Knight explains more about this new statisfic:

The "fame score" starts out as five empty stars, which you need to fill up (a half star at a time) as you progress toward superstardom. By working at a variety of objects in the entertainment arena, you'll earn fame and money. If you've got the required skills and the requisite famous friends, you'll get promoted through the fame track. But you have to keep it up, or your star will wane.
There will also be possibilities to build you own superstar mansion, filled with luxuries only a true superstar would afford.
There's a giant scuba tank that's the size of a large living room, for your swimming pleasure. And there's a skydiving simulator for a little backyard fun. We've also made a satellite dish for the home, which adds all-new channels to your TV. And there's tons of new art and sculpture, and even a new pool table, to help you make the ultimate crib.
The game looks to hold a lot of fun for fans of the series.
The Sims: Superstar is slated for a release in May on the PC. While no word is available on a Mac version of the expansion yet, there is a good possibilty it will come since Aspyr Media has published all other expansions for the game so far.
