英國 Hand_on的 Q&A

這是我在英國的模擬市民官網的forum的消息。
他們去看遊戲然後回覆的Q&A喔!

以下是內容的翻譯:

There were so many asked! Unfortunately we have not been able to get answers for all of them at this time. There are some that we were unable to answer as they did not relate to gameplay and some that would have required a lot more time playing and exploring to investigate.

我們收到好多的問題喔! 可惜的是我們無法得到所有的答案。有一些我們無法回答的問題是和遊戲沒有關係，而有一些直是必須要玩久一點才有辦法回覆的!

Please also bear in mind that the version of The Sims 3 that we played today is not the final release and that we had a limited time to play so some answers may be correct for what we saw today but do not tell the whole story.

但是請記得，我們玩的這個版本不是正式的出貨版，所以可能六月時出貨的版本會有些不一樣。

However we do have lots of answers for you and interesting information to share and the members or the community who were there on the day will be posting up their findings over the next few days and adding to what has been posted

不過我們的確有很多可以解答你的疑問，和很多有趣的資訊和你分享。其他一起去的玩家也會再這幾天持續的報告她們的發現!

I'll kick things off with some answers to questions about the Open Neighbourhood.
現在我從 "開放的社區"還回答起問題!

Are the community lots rabbitholes?

社區的建築物是兔子洞嗎? (意思是說小人進到裡面後就會消失不見，然後再跑出來! 就像艾莉絲夢遊仙境一樣，就到兔子洞!)

It would appear that some are and some aren't. The Sims I played today could be seen inside the gym and the library but not in the diner for example, or at least this is what appeared to be the case.

有一些是，但是也有些不是喔! 我(是這個作者，不是Amy喔!)今天玩時，小人進到健身房和圖書館時，可以看到裡面，但是餐廳就看不到。至少這是我玩到的發現。

Will hair sway in the wind?

頭髮會跟著風一起擺動嗎?

Longer hair did seem to move whilst walking.

長一些的髮型會在走路時搖動!

Will there be an option to turn aging off for individual families?

有沒有可以將某個家庭打開"停止成長"的選項?

I did not explore what cheats were available but I did see that you can choose to adjust the life expectancy of your Sims or turn aging off altogether in the game options.

我在試玩時並沒有問到關於秘技的問題。但是我可以選擇小人的生命週期或是將整個社區都"停止成長"。

How do you switch between families?

要怎麼換不同的家庭還玩啊!

You can change the family that you are playing by using the Active Household button. In the information screens it does say that if you elect to change the playable family then your current ones will have their wishes and opportunities removed. Then those Sims will continue to age and live as normal while you are playing the new family.

你可以另用"Active Household"(啟動家庭)按鈕來操作另一個家庭。但是當你要換家庭時，會有視窗出現警告你當你玩另一個家庭時你幫小人選擇的"希望"和"機會"會被刪除。而且這些小人在你玩另一個家庭時仍舊會正常的成長變老。

Do we visit clothes shops now?

我們還幫小人買衣服嗎?

It appears that you can use an option on a set of drawers to select outfits which will take your Sim into CAS and you can choose clothing from there.

你現在可以利用一些衣櫃來選擇服裝，這個選項會讓小人回到"創造小人模式"讓你在這裡做更換!

Can we turn free will off?

我們可以將"自由意識"切掉嗎?

In the game options you can change the amount of free will that you wish your Sims to have.

你可以決定你要小人有多高的"自由意識"喔! (這個以前就有看過了! 除了和模2的相同的自由度，或是更低。但是不用擔心，因為小人不在會亂上廁所了吧!因為需求並不是那麼重要了!)

Can we still control more than one Sim at a time or so we have to switch between Sims in a household like on the console version?

我們還是可以在一個家庭中一次控制好幾個小人嗎?

Imagine playing The Sims 2 and one of your Sims is cooking and the other in the yard. You click on their thumbnails to take you to each.

想像以下的情景，當你再玩模2時一個小人在煮飯，另一個在後院裡。你點了小人的頭像就可以將你轉換到另一個小人身上。

It works exactly the same in The Sims 3 only one of your Sims might be reading at home and the other at the beach. Oh and there was no real delay in getting to either as well

模3也是一模一樣喔! 只是在模3你的小人可能一個在家看書，而另一個在海灘上享受陽光。喔! 最棒的事在轉換小人時並不會lag喔!

Can you customise the neighbouhood?

你可以將整個社區做自己喜好的改變嗎?

Apart from the additional lots in the bins I couldn't find any neighbourhood decorations today.

除了多於的屋子外，我今天並沒有找到任何可以裝飾改變社區的物品。

In the open neighbourhood is it really possible to go up to houses whose occupants you don't know and look in through their windows?

在這個無接縫的社區裡，小人真的可以走向不認識的小人家然後從窗戶外偷窺嗎?

It is kind of possible. If the house is empty you can go right up to it but if it is occupied then anywhere within the lot grid you get the option to visit that family. You could maybe spy on them through a side window that is close to the edge of the lot.

這是可能發生的。如果這個房子是空屋，小人可以直接走過去。但是如果這是個有人住的房子，小人靠近時會有視窗問你是否要拜訪這個家庭。如果在地的邊界有窗戶，你可能可以偷看吧!

Are the career buildings now open to view?

職業的建築物可以進去參觀嗎?

The career lots are rabbit holes but if you move your cursor right into the lot area there are sound effects relating to the jobs that take place there.

職業的建築物是"兔子洞"(忘記兔子洞的人請到第一個問題看看喔!)，但是你如果將油標移近建築物附近，可以聽到這個建築物裡面發出的聲音是和職業有相關的喔!

Is the Grim Reaper in the game?

死神還會出現在遊戲裡嗎?

There is a rather awesome statue of Grim in the neighbourhood. The non-statue variety also comes when your Sim meets their end.

在社區裡，有個很棒的死神雕像。真正的死神還是會在小人死亡時來迎接他們。

Will there be weather?

有四季和天氣變化嗎?

In the time I played today I saw no weather conditions but the animation of the sun lowering in the sky is beautiful.

我今天玩的時候並沒有發現天氣變化，但是太陽下山時慢慢下來的動畫非常的美麗。




Will there be a sports stadium in Sunset Valley and if so what kind of sports events will take place?

在 Sunset Valley裡有沒有球場啊? 如果有，裡面會有什麼運動比賽呢?

There is a stadium called Llama Memorial Stadium. When I visited it with my Sims there was no options available other than to visit it but there do appear to be both sporting events and concerts held there.

有一個叫做 Llama Memorial Stadium(駱馬紀念球場)。當我讓小人去時，只能參觀並沒有其他的其他選項。不過當時同時有個運動比賽和音樂會進行中。

As we had weeds growing in The Sims 2 will we see the grass/trees growing in The Sims 3 neighbourhood?

在模2有雜草會生長。在模3中，我們會看到樹木和草地生長嗎?

It did not appear that plants or grass grew or deteriorated at all. There is no option to hire a gardener.

草地和植物好像並不會生長或枯萎。而且沒有園丁喔。

How do the parties work? Are there any new parties to plan?

派對是怎麼舉辦的啊? 有沒有新的派對呢?

Parties seem easier to make a success than in The Sims 2. You can hold them at home or hire a public area to hold them in. I held one at home and one at the beach and both went well with limited input from the party host. You can also choose what time you wish the party to start and what the dress code should be.

在模3的派對感覺上比在模2的簡單多了! 你可以在家舉辦派對或是租一個公共區域來舉辦。我再加和在海灘都各辦了一個。兩個都很成功，而且主人並不需要做太多事。你可以選擇你要辦派對的時間和怎樣的服裝。

At the times that I chose to throw these parties there were no additional options as to what kind of party they should be but they did not coincide with any milestones so this could be why.

在我舉辦的派對中，並沒有其他更多的選項。如生日派對等等，但是我辦派對時並沒有和其他的特殊日子有所交集!

What speed will the time progress in the normal game mode?

遊戲在跑時是怎樣的速度呢?

There are still the three speed options which appear to be similar or the same in time to The Sims 2.

遊戲還是有3個速度的選項，跑的速度和模2相似。

Is the Social Bunny in the game?

Social Bunny(社交兔子吧!) 還會出現嗎?

I did not see the Social Bunny other than in a painting that you can buy for your Sims.

我並沒有看到社交兔子，除了在一張小人可以購買的畫上面喔!

Can your Sims transport items around to use?

小人可以將物品帶出去使用嗎?

Sims have a personal inventory and a family one. It appears that some objects can be placed in the family inventory and used by any family member in any location. This is in theory.

小人將會有一個私人的背包(我翻背包是因為和模2的功能差不多吧!有些像倉庫)，和一個家庭的背包。有些物品好像可以放進家庭的背包，然後可以在任何地點使用。不過這只是個理論。(我想玩家沒有測試到吧!)


Which familiar Sims are in Sunset Valley?

在 Sunset Valley 裡有那幾個家庭?

In the course of my Sim's travels they came across Bella, Mortimer, Kaylynn Langerak, Michael Bachelor and Malcolm Landgraab. I am sure that the other Simmers who were there may well have met other familiar Sims from the past.

我的小人在社區逛時遇到了 Bella(貝拉)、Mortimer(高斯老頭)、Kaylynn Langerak(和唐納文有一腿的女傭)、Michael Bachelor(在模一中的單身漢，是Bella的哥哥)和Malcolm Landgraab(應該是在開店裡面那個有錢人的爺爺，因為在開店中，他是3世。在模3中沒有提到幾世就是第一個囉!) 我想應該還有其他我們熟悉的小人們吧!



最下面這張覺得有些像 Twilight(暮光之城)的Edward，應該是眉毛的關係吧!
