A poll about Generations

Polls haven't been working, but yes, I think I'll buy it!

I shall be buying it as well. The bunkbeds and spiral staircases is all that I need.

....And I would love to play all of the life stages to their full-potential.

Nah.

Not until it's really cheap, like $10 cheap.

I appreciate some of the things that it added, but those things are just not $40 material. Besides I can't stand giving EA more money for rabbithole features. They've kind of burnt me out with this EP. I'm really starting to think they couldn't care less about improving the game, and it's just going to stay the same.

If that's so I'm only going to care about the Pets and Seasons Expansion Packs. The rest of them and all of the half-baked new ideas like Generations are not worth my money.

I'll be getting it purely for collector's reasons, not because I "wuv" bunk-beds and imaginary friends.

Of Course i get it. Already pre-order it

I put not yet, because I want it to be cheaper... I noticed here in the UK that the prices drop pretty quickly... like a month after it becomes the price that the EPs' should/used to be.

I'm definitely buying it, probably not the day it comes out though

Yes! I preordered over the weekend.

I'm definately getting in! Can't wait either! :D

When I first read about it, I was a definitely NO but their marketing has won me over and now I will definitely be buying the day it is released. One more month!!

o_o

How? I just have to ask. EA has been horrible at marketing this, at least IMO. They took forever to announce the EP, they've shoved false advertising in our faces, and recently they did that interview where they answered close to nothing.

Lol, you make valid points. When they first announced it, I thought it should be a Stuff Pack, not EP because it didn't seem like there was really anything new and exciting in it. Now that we have more info, like the Day Care profession, boarding schools, imaginary friends, punishing teens, and so many different interactions, I think it will make my game and my families seem more realistic. I'm actually excited about having more to do in every life stage, maybe then I won't want to rush through the child and teenager so much anymore.

The feature that has me jumping for joy the most is the lifespan adjustment per each age of life...
And I think that will be in a patch update anyway.
The daycare profession is enticing but I think it would be hard to manage in my game because my game is suffering big time from broken pathways.

Is there ever going to be a patch that fixes broken pathways? My sims take forever to start moving once I give them a new command!
GOD. And when they reach an object they want to interact with/ person, they stand there for 20 sim minutes before they use the dang thing or talk to the person. When I tell them to quit doing something it takes about another 20 sim minutes.

So I can't imagine how big a hassle it would be babysitting a bunch of toddlers with all the broken pathway things in my game.

The broken path thing is REALLY annoying, and random too. It's even worse if you speed up the game.

Nope, I probably won't buy it. They want an arm and a leg for new EPs. It's madness.

Yeah, and nothing in this ep feels essential to me or game changing. Sim kids already have playground equipment to play on, and I'm not really caring about the new grounding for parents because sims will most likely only ground there children when they play pranks, and my sims won't play many pranks because pranks will be boring.
The strollers are dumb bc they only have single strollers, so carrying your toddler to the park works just as well.
Most of the chemistry set potions seem fairly useless.
Daycare won't work well with my games broken pathways.
Every big feature is rabbit holed.

I really don't see why so many people are seeing this as omg must have!
Yeah, the extra variety in children activities are nice, but they aren't necessary, and I'm certainly not going to spend 40 dollars for them.

Assuming the lifespan changer comes in an update, the only thing I will miss is the spiral stairs, sleeping bags and bunk beds I think...

Plus, I don't think my computer can handle many sims 3 eps so I kind of have to pick the ones i get selectively.

Will I buy it?
Probably somewhere down the track, when it's on special and I feel the need to finish my collection.
Will I pirate it?
Absolutely.

I'm not intelligent enough to figure out pirating on the internet.
