Get famous in the latest Sims 3 expansion

If you've always fancied being able to lead your Sim to fame and fortune, the forthcoming Showtime expansion for the PC and Mac versions of The Sims 3 is probably going to be of interest. In it, you'll "venture into a new world and live the dream as singers, acrobats, magicians and DJs", which is surely what every starry-eyed youngster desires.

Wait a second ... acrobats? Aside from Cirque du Soleil, who the hell becomes famous for being an acrobat? How very odd.

Anyway, curious choice of professions aside, Showtime will include an "all-new SimPort feature"

"the opportunity to post Sims’ successes, share gameplay techniques, create wishlists and send gifts, search for new friends and share memories through in-game news feeds and e-cards."

Have a look at some screenshots, below (including one of those infamous acrobats and a really worried looking DJ). The Sims 3: Showtime is due for release in March 2012. You'll need a copy of The Sims 3 to run it.
