The Sims 3: Showtime - Trailer

Have you ever dreamed of being more than just a 9-5 schleb, working for some other chump, where no one even knows your name?

The Sims 3 Showtime, while it won't work any magic in your real life, will let you live out your fame-related fantasies vicariously through your sims.

It promises to use "new and innovative" social features, like individual in-game news feeds and live updates, ensuring that players are connected to each other "like never before."

The Sims 3: Showtime is coming March 2012 as an expansion for the PC / Mac version of The Sims 3 (which is required).

We've loaded up a bunch of screen and pack-shots for your pleasure, too, so be sure to check 'em out.
