    Kotaku: The Sims 3 World Adventures review – A Form Of Manifest Destiny

    We are already familiar with the highlights of World Adventures, so I’ll save that for you to read over when you hit the jump…but Kotaku did come across some of the game’s problems which I’d like to take an excerpt from:

    It’s A Little Bit Broken: There is a major gameplay bug I encountered that should never have made it to retail. Sometimes when sending your Sim abroad (and usually when they’ve got a child or a teenager Sim with them), the game makes your family vanish. Like, completely disappear both from the foreign location you were sending them to and from the home location. In my case, I sent Tenzing and his teenage son to China while his wife was laid up at home with twin girls. Mid-load into China, the game suddenly deposited the camera view into China — only there was no family there and no Sim in the control bar to keep track of. I could do thing — not even edit the town. So I quit out and went back to Sunset Valley expecting to find them there, but the same thing happened. The wife and babies were gone and in the family viewer, there was only a placeholder graphic of a dotted outline where the Norgays should have been. I was able to fix the problem after consulting a fan forum, but it wasn’t a simple solution (having to move around backup files and save files) and I lost data.
