We know most of you will have already had a glimpse into the new look The Sims 3 official website, but it has now officially launched and can be access at www.thesims3.com – no more backdoor addresses required!

The Sims 3 is now very close no matter where you live, so the opening of the new look official website is another welcome step in the build up to the day we have all been looking forward to for so long now.

The Sims 3 official website features everything you already saw on the “behind the scenes” version of the website, including all of the information about The Sims 3 game that you could possibly need, the movie mashup and story creating tools as well as directories showcasing those already made by others, and much much more.

Whilst we are on the subject of movie mashups, when the work-in-progress website location was leaked we managed to create one which at the time quickly became the most viewed of all time! We are delighted to see that our mashup is still around, but it’s now sadly lagging a little behind on views – most of those above it are those created at the Creators Camp though so we don’t feel too let down! Visit the following address to view our mashup!

The new look website also boasts The Sims 3 Exchange where will all be able to download extra stuff for our games created by other players and designers, and also The Sims 3 Store where we can spend our Sim Points on extra items and collection sets.
