The Sims 3 has received a final worldwide release date of June 2nd, 2009 for PC. This is a delay from the original February 20th date.

This announcement came from an EA press conference at the Leipzig Games Convention 2008 where they showed off some features from The Sims 3 including Sim Attributes (both good and bad) and the “Create-A-Sim” mode that has the headline “It’s kind of like real life.”

If you are one of those people who doesn’t like having to deal with store clerks/other shoppers then you’ll be happy to know that you will be able to buy and download The Sims 3 digitally the day of it’s release.

The game will also be available in a limited Collector’s Edition that includes a special tin case and comes with a The Sims 3 plumbob USB drive with matching green carabiner, an exclusive in-game Italian-style sports car, a hints and tips guide and The Sims 3 plumbob stickers.

Once you get the game, try out these fun Sims 3 cheats.
