Well I decided to contact Prima about this new listing, it appears as though the “Web Guide” is a new format in which the guides will now be available, the biggest advantage of these are – that they will (depending on the game) offer walk-through videos, to help explain the guide in more detail! (You will also see that they now offering guides on X-Box and iTunes too, so we could possibly expect an X-Box formatted guide for The Sims 3 on X-Box!

Personally, I would like to see a Prima guide in the form of an iPhone app.  I got all Prima guides for the Sims 2 and the ones that I used the most were falling apart. With an app, you would not have to minimize the game to look through the guide…

1. Teddy bears can be put into cribs in buy mode.

2. Pregnant sims who eat apples or foods made with apples tend to have boys. Same goes for watermelons and girl babies.

3. A baby’s sex can be determined before birth by a Sim in the medical career in at least the fifth level. This is found under the friendly interactions menu.

4. Click on your lights to change the color of lights and their intensity.

5. Sims can age anytime not just at the end of the age stage. Buy a birthday cake and pick the Sim you want to age to blow out the candles.

6. Childish sims can fish in pools.

7. Good sims can donate to charity. Click on a mailbox with a good Sim selected.

8. Rock stars will be cheered or booed when seen in public.

9. Handy sims can wire speakers so the whole house hears music when radio is on.

10. Sims in the Criminal career cannot be robbed.
