In this latest trailer for EA Maxis’ The Sims 3, viewers will get acquainted with a bit of the personality involved in the game. Instead of the happy-go-lucky Sims we’re so used to watching (and taking to the restroom every five minutes), it appears as if Maxis is trying to appeal to our evil side. The side that removes doors and replaces them with a walls so the Sim slowly starves and wets itself to death.

The video begins by spotlighting a sneaky prostitute, who not only likes to work out, but enjoys the simple pleasure of thievery. In a matter of seconds, she is shown inside of a lavishly adorned mansion. While she’s there, she spots Leisure Suit Larry having a little fun with a maid. Then it progresses to her stealing a lollipop from a baby with telekinetic powers and eventually ends with a shot of the once dastardly beauty as a portly schlub.

There is no way to interpret this trailer than to say that Sims 3 will probably open new doors in terms of differing gameplay elements. Hopefully, this also means the end of having to babysit these babbling digital idiots. Instead, we’ll actually get to have some fun outside of watching them shower.
