NOM have shed some light on My Sims, the exclusive Sims offerings for the Wii and DS.

The games will continue most of the Sims traditional gaming, but a few improvements are being reported. Rather than being confined to your house, and a few surrounding ones, EA appear to be expanding the geography of the game world: a whole town will be included, with a larger community to interact with.

We quote: "By using the relationships menu you can keep tabs on who likes you, who thinks you could do with a wash, and who wouldn't spit on you if you were on fire." Additionally, greater control of house and furniture design will be available to the player, so you can get a little more creative if you want. And the developers are taking a leaf out of Natsume's book, introducing planting and gardening to the fun.

Otherwise, we expect it'll be business as usual when the games are released later in the year.
