The Sims 3 Showtime is the eagerly awaited expansion pack for the ingenious Sims franchise. This renowned gaming legacy lets you create and control the lives you choose with incredibly detailed character creation and customisation, from hair colour to their star sign, even their life goals, dreams, and hopes. With every individual you make you have your say in their every decision, whether great or small.

This special Limited Edition version gives you the bonus Ultimate Stage venue. After placing this venue in your world you will find it is completely customisable, allowing you to tailor it to your exact specifications with the use of props, lighting, backgrounds, and special effects.

This expansion allows your Sims to truly realise their dreams of entertaining in front of thousands, with a wide range of specialities to choose from. Watch them climb the ladder of fame as Singers, Performers, Acrobats, Magicians, and DJs, as they fight their way to make it to the top.

Are the venues your Sims perform in not up to your standards? Well then, create your own! Build humongous and lofty stadiums, lavish concert halls, and even the most exclusive, underground indie clubs. Whatever you build, it could have a helping hand in your Sim's career progression, as well as improve their performances.

Alongside all of this fabulous content, there is also a newly introduced social feature: the SimPort. With this you will be able to give status updates, as well as chat, message, and send screenshots to all of your friends. Not to mention, you and your friends will be able to exchange Sims, having them book and perform shows, be reviewed, and even go on tour in your friend's game world, and vice versa. (Cat Emerson)
