New The Sims 3 Screenshots And Details

EA demoed The Sims 3 for the iPhone at Apple's iPhone OS 3.0 preview event, and even at that time it was looking pretty sharp.  The game has been in development for multiple platforms for quite some time, but few details have emerged about the iPhone specific version of the game since that initial showing.  That is, until now. EA Mobile's Craig Law has just posted quite a few new, but vague details about the game on their official website, and four new screenshots:

EA still hasn't given us an official release date or a price at which the game will launch, so we can only assume at this point. If EA's previous releases are any indication, The Sims 3 should come in right around $9.99, but it is possible that this mammoth of a title could break that price barrier. Below are a couple more of the new screenshots just released today for The Sims 3.
