EA today revealed a brand new add-on for The Sims. The Superstar, will now allow players to launch their charges into the world fame, becoming stars of film and music. Fledgling Sims start by signing with an agent and shuttling to Studio Town, a new and fully customisable destination that offers and lots, spa locations, recording studios and fabulous fashion facilities. Which sounds exciting.

The new addition will be out in May for the best-selling game. "The Sims have lived extreme lives, thrown outrageous parties, gone on hot dates, travelled to vacation destinations and owned pets. Now it's time for them to follow their dreams of making it big," said Jonathan Knight, Producer of the game at Maxis. "The Sims Superstar will let players experience the outrageous world of celebrity, Sims style."
