The Sims 3 Supernatural introduces magic, mystery, and mischief

The Sims 3 is hopping on the vampire and werewolf bandwagon with a new expansion pack set to launch worldwide in September 2012.

The Sims 3 Supernatural Expansion Pack lets you create and play as a supernatural Sim like werewolves, witches, vampires, and fairies. You can curse or charm your Sims' lives with powerful spells, volatile elixirs and magical abilities. It also adds all-new customization options ranging from the hairiness of the werewolf's body to the shape of the fairy's wings. These new supernatural Sims will also discover new abilities, traits, skills and interactions to enhance The Sims 3 gameplay experience.

The expansion will introduce the new eerie town of Moonlight Falls, a place filled with magic, mystery and mischief. Here you will uncover enchanted objects and gothic décor, including a sliding bookcase that conceals a hidden lair and a powerful mirror with magical interactions.

“With a variety of deep and mysterious supernatural lifestyles to choose from, The Sims 3 Supernatural allows players to dive into powerful new gameplay that showcases a darker side of The Sims,” said Scott Evans, General Manager of The Sims Studio. “This pack introduces a fresh perspective while maintaining the characteristic playfulness, humor and innovation of our studio. With The Sims 3 Supernatural, we are adding a wealth of rich creative possibilities, surprising new content and intriguing storylines to the world of The Sims 3.”

There are a ton of new options to explore in The Sims 3 Supernatural including the career path as a mystic fortune-teller or building your skill to become an alchemic master. Be careful, however; the mysterious lunar cycle will unveil "strange revelations, secrets and mysteries that will shake up the entire town."

EA also announced that those who pre-order The Sims 3 Supernatural will receive a special Limited Edition version which feautres the exclusive Plants vs. Zombies content pack. Players with this limited edition content can ward off attacking zombies in their game with the famous Pea Shooter from Plants vs. Zombies and dress their Sims with classic zombie-themed attire for the ultimate creepy-chic look.
