Following the success recorded by Electronic Arts' MySims on Wii and DS, the company decided to re-create it for PC systems in order to increase its revenue and to offer even more players the chance to enjoy the game. The title is scheduled to be released this October, which means that it will hit the stands just in time for Christmas shopping.

In the original MySims, you can create and customize original

characters, build your own town, grow a community and discover an entire world. You'll have to start by personalizing the appearance of your MySims from head to toe and unlock cool new items and even more customization options, as you befriend and build relationships with your neighbors. Also, all the locales will get your unique touch, since you can design your own homes, shops and such in this open-ended game. All these will be available on PCs, with exclusive and brand new content, too!

For example, online features and characters will be implemented in the upcoming release. This means that you'll get safe, family-friendly in-game chat and you'll also have the chance to play online games like Tag or Hide-and-Seek. Your customized homes can be shared with friends both in-game and off-game, via e-mail.

"MySims, made for the PC, opens up the world of MySims for you to explore, play and share with up to seven other friends that are online with you," said Rod Humble, Head of Studio for The Sims Label. "For the first time, you can express the creativity of MySims with others in a collaborative way, as you create and live in a shared town with your friends online. With MySims, made for the PC, it's a whole new world of interaction with personalized creations, buildings and towns to share, along with furniture and other tailored creations that you and your friends can trade. Players who enjoyed MySims on the Wii and Nintendo DS will view this as a great way to connect with friends in an online PC game and those new to MySims will find this a fresh and exciting game."
