Twinbrook

Twinbrook is a new town which will ship with The Sims 3: Ambitions.

Description
In an interview, Grant Rodiek mentioned Twinbrook, saying;

"The town of Twinbrook is absolutely beautiful and designed specifically for players. You will clearly see how our world-designing team has improved when you discover Twinbrook."

Twinbrook will most likely stress the new careers and skills introduced in Ambitions, such as the Stylist career or Inventing skill.

According to a Gamespot hands-on, Twinbrook 'is a fictitious bayou town not unlike a backwoods suburb of Louisiana.' Players who attended the UK hands on event report that Twinbrook 'is a huge new town, which had been flooded (if I read the town description correctly this morning), and is now half-swamp half-town. The swampy areas are very dank and misty. The other side of Twinbrook has brand new shops such as the Laundromat, The tattoo parlour and stylist shop and much more. I really enjoyed having a look around Twinbrook, and the place looks really great. They've also re-done most of the rabbit holes, such as the diner.'

It is also known, due to a group of leaked images from the game, that the town depicted in the second trailer is in fact Twinbrook.

It may be assumed that Simslaus Creek refrences Stanislaus County, a county located in California or the Stanislaus River located in the mentioned county.

Returning Families
In a recent interview, Grant Rodiek alledgedly said:

"We have had many questions regarding pre-made families, and if they will be returning within Twinbrook, Any comment Grant?"

"'Yes, We have seen an amazing amount of threads concerning this topic. It is very comforting that sim players have became so attached towards the pre-made families! I can only say as much as I can however. We do indeed have some families that players may recognise from previous sim games!', Grant says excitedly. 'You guys may remember the Hicks family, From The Sims 1. We thought they would go exceptionally well with Twinbrook! As Twinbrook has the more marshy and poorer area.. That they would fit in perfectly! However, They do have a very dark background. I will not ruin it for the sim players, but they are in for a shock! 'We also have made a come back with the Burbs! Tiffany in particular has a major storyline. She, Owning the "Style Shack" has to keep the business running, But they are running out of money to renovate due to the recent flood!'"

However this no source for this interview as yet and it may be a hoax.
