The Sims 3 Seasons featuring Katy Perry
The Sims 3 Seasons offers a lot of new themed content. What’s your favorite season in the new expansion pack?
I love the holidays. It’s my favorite. In October, that’s when everything starts for me. I also start expanding. Like my size starts expanding and I have my Spanx on, and I know that The Sims – I’m not sure if the Sims have Spanx, but I did ask if they had pumpkin spiced lattes. I’m not sure if they have those either, and I would like to make a note of that.
Do you have a favorite memory from any of The Sims games you can share?
Yeah. My favorite memory I really enjoyed helping create the Sweet Treats package. I like all of them, but this one in particular was so carefully customized to this candy world that I had created and brought on tour for the California Dreams tour. I felt a real ownership of it. When they were pulling out the banana split sundae couches I was like, “Oh I can’t believe I get to dream up this idea and it goes all over the world and it goes all over into the virtual world.” I was very proud of that.
If EA approached you and said Katy you can do anything you want in the next Sims game what would you do?
If I could do anything I want? Well, I’d just probably – I don’t know if you can – can you swear in Simlish? I’d probably want to swear, just to be able to say I’ve done it.
What do you like about The Sims games?
The whole idea for me is a little bit like playing god. Like the fact that you can control the weather now. In general, you can control every aspect and you can cook and you can have pets that go through all the different seasons. You can have your little dog go through all the snow and wag its tale and you can “woo hoo” in an igloo. We all know what woo whooing is. It’s just so cool that you can do that in another life. You don’t have to hope for the next one.
