Not only will players have the freedom to take their Sims out into their everyday lives, they will also be able to explore a constantly-evolving neighborhood and meet other Sims with different personalities and interests as diverse as their own.

Meanwhile, smarter Sims with deeper personalities and individual traits mean that there are increasingly complex and emotion-filled relationships to keep track of. From friendship and love to mischief and rebellion, it’s impossible to know what’s around the corner.

What’s more, on top of keeping their Sims occupied with enjoyable everyday activities like fishing, gardening and cooking, players will also have a hand in their ultimate destinies. But will they make their dreams come true or push them in a completely different direction?

The possibilities are endless with The Sims 3 on N-Gage. The Sims 3 is now available to download as a free trial in the N-Gage.com Showroom.

The city of Rome hosts the Nokia Games Summit, which kicked off today with exciting news and game announcements and confirming Nokia’s commitment to the N-Gage gaming platform.

Speaking to the state of N-Gage today is Tero Ojanperä, executive vice president and head of the Nokia entertainment and communities business. He gave some interesting details, as well about which countries are the most active.
