The Sims 3: Karma Chameleon
Screw with your Sims in a brand new way.
Way, way, way back in June, IGN brought you your first look at The Sims 3 Console and mentioned these crazy little things called Karma Powers – acts that you get to call in to reward or punish your characters. We saw a couple of the powers in action, but there was no word on how many there'd be or what exactly they'd do.
That changes today.
Yes, EA has given us the full list of Karam Powers along with descriptions, videos and screens. However, before you scope out how you're going to love and torture your characters, let's give you a refresher course on how you're going to earn these lifer-altering spells.
On consoles, The Sims 3 offers Challenges, a series of specific tasks for your Sim such as making a friend or scoring with a significant other. When you pull these off, you can choose a Karma Power from the Challenge store. On top of those points, you're also accruing Karma Points by polishing off Opportunities, which are mini-quests for your characters. Cash 'em in, and you get to cause events you'd usually have to wait for – fires, love, etc. You can make everyone happy or ruin their lives in an instant. Use your powers wisely, and you'll be rewarded at the Hour of Reckoning, which goes down at midnight every night. Use them to be a world-class jerk, and you might not want to look forward to the midnight hour.
So just what are these powers? Well, we're glad you asked…
