The media is hitting the Sims 2 big time, which means updates are continuously appearing. This week's SimDay is small and doesn't bring more than a link to the GameSpot Deisgner Diary. Of course there's also the chat with Lucy Bradshaw tonight, at 3pm PST, 6pm EST, 11pm GMT or midnight in Europe.
But of course there are also some new articles. If you've read - and like - parts 1 and 2 of SimIGN, in which is told how part of the crew of IGN survives when put together in one house. They made 5 Sims of themselves, and along with many screenshots, Part 3 of the series of articles has been posted now. The final article, describing week 4, will be posted later, and a full review is promised as well.
New screenshots have also been posted by WorthPlaying. They come with a group of 8, and you can find them on this page. Finally, there's a preview, quite like many others, from RealGamer:
[Update 20:55] There's another preview at EuroGamer.net. They've been to Edinburgh, at a show which Maxis General Manager Neil Young attended as well, to see the game. There's even a mention of the Sims 3 in the article: "The Sims 3, at some indeterminate point in the future, will - in his [Neil Young - TSZ] mind, at least - be the first user-controlled sitcom." To read about the presentation Neil held in Edinburgh, read the preview.

"First things first, what made the original so popular? Well everyone wants to play God at some point or other and the ability to control a whole neighbourhood of little people scored an instant hit with the power hungry among us. Everything from building the actual house to deciding when Mr Jones can go to the toilet was involved in the game and watching our little hero's go from a secretary to the president in an over exaggerated career ladder proved too addictive to 99.9% of Sims fans."See the Sims 2 Preview for the entire preview.
