When we heard that EA would be releasing a "special limited edition" of The Sims Medieval next spring, our minds were filled with images of a replica treasure chest, loaded with fittingly medieval goodies -- perhaps a sword-shaped letter opener? (Okay, so our imaginations are a little unimaginative today.) Instead, we learned that the release would include three exclusive throne rooms, "princess," "barbarian" and "dark magic," in addition to two outfits, some royal clothes and executioner garb.
While we're already rocking a dark magic theme in our own throne room, the thought of some pre-made costumes for the next Renaissance Faire season seemed pretty cool. Upon closer inspection of the announcement, however, we discovered that these are outfits for the game's "simulation" people. That kind of ruined it for us, but we suppose if you're a diehard Sims buff, resisting this package would be feudal.

I'm OK with it as long as I can equip my Sims with a codpiece or a chastity belt.

If the game doesn't come with it, just give the modders a few days.

Always thought it was weird how Sims 3 had a 'realism' approach to being a simulator then all the expansions are stuff like this.

A medieval "life simulator" already exists. It's called Mount & Blade: Warband, it's better than the sims will ever be, and it's on sale on steam for like 13 euros :D

I bet this version of the Sims doesn't have a "Hygiene" bar.
