I've remembered the official trailers they had for this game when they were launching it, while The Sims 2 website was still running, but only just, and I remember one of the first one's had a narrator who sounded just like those cinematic movie trailer's narrator, the one who Cameron Diaz kept imagining in that rom-com with Kate Winslet swapping houses ... The Holiday - I've just found the name of that narrator Hal Douglas. He said things like: Imagine being able to visit your neighbours - describing the open world. I'm pretty sure it was in one of those, with his voice over narration that had the runaway bride on a bicycle. The video I keep finding in my search results, with no narrator, has slightly honky-tonk piano the whole time and personality trait demonstrations, and calls itself "The Sims 3 Official Trailer" is not the right video. The one I'm thinking of is earlier. Possibly more than one are.
Does anyone else remember those teaser trailers? Do you know where I can find the one with the runaway bride on a bicycle? I'm wondering if she was one of the resident pre-mades in Sunset Valley.
I found the one about the open world with the Hal Douglas type voice-over:

But it hasn't got the runaway bride on the bicycle. However I have to say it brought a tear to my eye! Nostalgia me off.
... It appears that the trailer with the runaway bride had a Kelly Clarkson song, 'My Life Would Suck Without You' and the license for it expired especially for some regions apparently, and so it can't be found anywhere anymore. ☹️
