GameInformer – exclusive Karma Powers explained with The Sims 3 on consoles I think my mouse is about to kick the bucket here, it seems to have a mind of its own and doesn’t function like normal.* Anyhow, check out this real short article from GameInformer about the special Karma Powers features that will be apart of the console games: Sims 3 will grant players Karma powers that can change the way other Sims respond to you. In one example, we’re shown a male avatar named Hunter who is interested in talking to a female Sim, Tara, at a party. To clear out the male competition, Hunter uses the Cosmic Curse Karma power on another male to clear him out of the room. The curse makes that Sim unappealing as he suddenly becomes gassy and rushes to the bathroom making it clear to talk to Tara. Tara isn’t entirely impressed by Hunter so he uses the Get Lucky Karma power and suddenly she’s drawn to him as if he had bathed in Axe body spray. He’s irresistable. They WooHoo it up. The pair go upstairs and have…”a nice long talk.” Hunter wants everyone to leave the party at this point so he uses Earthquake to clear the room as all the Sims scatter in fear. To further drive them away, we then see Fire Storm, which triggers a meteor shower. One person at the presentation asked if you could cause an oil spill. Too soon?
