EA has officially announced that The Sims 3 will be coming to consoles this Fall with a few extra features.

The Sims 3 debuted last year on the PC and Mac and did quite well. EA is following up with that success by bringing The Sims 3 to the Xbox 360, PlayStation 3, Nintendo Wii, and the DS this Fall. The new console version will include all of the fun Sims tools that will allow you to torture your character or let them thrive. In addition to the features that were included in the PC version, the console players will be able use the all new Karma powers. These will give you instant control over your character so you can let them "get lucky", receive "instant beauty", or stick them with an "epic fail".

The Nintendo Wii version will receive an exclusive beach town for your Sims to build their neighborhood in. The Nintendo DS version will also receive some exclusives. You will be able to build your walls, floors and customize pretty much everything else in the game using the DS stylus.

The Sims 3 will be available this Fall on Xbox 360, PlayStation 3, Nintendo Wii, and the Nintendo DS.
