Lineup includes college years, tropical resort life, and trips to the future

The Sims 3 came out in 2009, but its simulated world will continue to grow with three new expansion packs this year. Electronic Arts today announced Sims will get some higher education, take off for tropical resorts, and even explore the future in 2013's lineup.

The Sims 3 Island Paradise will arrive in June 2013, just in time to stay inside and obsess over a virtual family. Sims can manage their own tropical resorts, go snorkeling, and explore uncharted isles on a customizable houseboat.

The last scheduled expansion pack will let Sims travel to the future in fall, but remains untitled at this point. A stuff pack themed after 70s, 80s, and 90s culture will release on January 22 and one focused on "iconic movie themes and settings" will land later this year.
