 Re: The Sims 3: Showtime Announced!!!Well Radiant I don't see how you don't see what's new and exciting? I guess it's subjective. There's been many times in the Sims series where an EP comes out and I'm only super excited for certain aspects of EP's. For me, I could careless to have supernatural sims because I never play them, (except aliens) but I never made a big fuss over it.
I guess since Superstar I wished that we would get another Superstar EP for Sims 2, and we never did. Now we have a game where you can live out your life as a singer, acrobat or magician. To me this is new and exciting. Maybe the gameplay isn't gonna be that new and exciting because i"m sure they work very much like the Ambitions professions. I'm actually very very excited for ST. I have it sitting on my desk right now. I'm going to BB to pay a bill and hopefully grab FLS with a rewards coupon I got in the mail. Then I plan on installing and playing ST today. To each their own though. I also agree, and have been complaining that I don't like how these EP's have been developed. Pets, WA, & Ambitions seem to be the only ones that were really thought through. Late Night and Showtime seem to be a mess overall. 90% of those objects were in the Sims 2 by the middle of the series. We're passed the middle and just getting all of those items. So, yes I'm pissed with EA's marketing and all that sloppy planning (still think Pets was slated for May 2011 but they held off for whatever reasons and literally threw Generations together in no time at all. I also think that's why it wasn't announced early and came out in May instead of March like Spring EP's tend to do. But despite all that, I'm a sucker for the singing career, the new town, the objects (regardless), and the magician & acrobat thing look fun. Some of the other features will be welcomed as well like setting your own career outfit. I hate the hit movie composer dress for women. Yuck. LOL |

Re: The Sims 3: Showtime Announced!!! Is there a detailed list anywhere of what is in The Sims 3 Showtime?
Not like a simple wiki but a long (hopefully) list of what you can find in the game? Still not sure if I'd consider buying it though....My main issue with it isn't even really with the game (showtime) itself, it's just the whole save errors I find totally unacceptable. Which from my knowledge is unavoidable no matter what you do so it's a bit like my parade is constantly being rained on when I play Sims 3. :( I do like the mechanical bull though. |

From what i remember to fix save errors. - all the errors have workarounds at least 1) if you use save as instead of save and use for example ApaloosaPlains 1, next save ApaloosaPlains 2, then the next Apaloosa3 then back to 1 again. then that fixes error code 16. 2) One of the errors is caused by a town problem, likely a house downloaded from the exchange does not allow sims to walk past it, they get stuck and this causes the game to not save. 3)The other error causes .bad sims files, delete the .bad file and use the backup by removing the .backup Hope that helps x |

What you mentioned above will alleviate the problem somewhat but they won't work forever. Eventually you are forced to move on to a different neighbourhood and leave everything behind. It's like the doomsday clock is ticking. Eventually your neighbourhood pops it's clogs. That's the part of it I really can't get my head around, I want a consistent simulation. (or at least be able to choose when I eventually move on) |

Re: The Sims 3: Showtime Announced!!! Are you up to date with the patches?
I used to get save problems after installing one of the games, i think it might have been world adventures But now I haven't had a save problem since then. Is it just one town you get the trouble with, or is it all of them? Im playing Apaloosa Plains, and it seems to be the best town by far X |

Re: The Sims 3: Showtime Announced!!! I think I'm going to cry. *slams face on desk*
This is the DUMBEST idea for an EP EVER. I am so fucking sick of waiting for Seasons. Yup, so much that I have to use a cuss word that I hardly ever use at all. This is just THAT frustrating. Here we are, it looks like the perfect set up for Seasons to finally come back, but nope, instead we get an stupid Expansion Pack centered around crap like fairies, witches, and zombies. You know, even after EA made it so clear with their actions that a Magic EP wasn't happening. EA are trolls. Complete and total trolls. _________________  |

Complete and total trolls. im totally done with Sims 3, im not going to buy any new Ep or Sp untill Seasons comes out!!   ahahaha yeah, they're the biggest stupid idiots i never met in my life xDEDIT: and also all the magic objects in the Store. what will happen to them?? and we already have magic in the store so why make a Ep about it?? EA TM E = Everything Is xD A = About T = The M = Money Im so tired with the "Sims 3 Crew" they never listen to what we want, then they go out to newspapers and Tv and say that they listens to their fans... for example..

Is it just one town you get the trouble with, or is it all of them? Im playing Apaloosa Plains, and it seems to be the best town by far X I am up to date with patches, there doesn't seem to be any town that's effected more than others. How long have you been playing Apaloosa Plains now? In-game time. Also that making magic ep sounds cool, I hope they go all out though and have a really magical neighbourhood. Bring back the funfair rides too! :D Oh and the vendors too.....plus a beanstalk, we need a beanstalk. Although I'm not sure I'm keen on the idea of all those fugly gowns and tunics that will probably be in this ep.  I like the idea of an ep that isn't just about magic but is more rounded, like a what goes bump in the dark expansion pack. If the expansion has werewolves, witches, fairies and zombies then that would surely cover that idea. Edit: I'm almost curious to watch the Sims community implode if they (EA) came out saying Sims 4 was next meaning no seasons for Sims 3. Edit: There's ANOTHER rumour doing the rounds at the moment: http://lh4.ggpht.com/-0syf0eh7Sk8/Tx101 ... 25255D.png Sims 3: Sea-beds & Snow |

First of all the title is weird. Of course, I wouldn't write it off for that alone. However, the picture is taken from a Wikipedia-type site. Anybody can edit Wiki sites, and people DO edit Wiki sites to make up false Expansion Pack titles. So the credibility of that is zero. I'm sorry, but the actual evidence we have points towards it being a dumb Expansion Pack about creatures, not what we actually need. _________________ |

Re: The Sims 3: Showtime Announced!!! There's been creatures all right... but a severe lack of creatures your sims can turn into. We've had what, two so far (not counting ghosts) from six expansion packs.
I loved having a zombie vampire werewolf plantsim witch servo in The Sims 2, it's a lot more fun that a vampire mummy. From the looks of it, EP7, which will almost definitely be magic-related, will have fairies, witches, zombies and werewolves! Remember that EA are churning out expansion packs for The Sims 3 a lot quicker than they did for The Sims 2 - TS3 turns 3 years old in a couple of months and we already have 6 expansion packs, TS2 went for just under 5 years and only got 8 out (NOT COUNTING MANSIONS AND GARDEN STUFF). By that logic, TS3 will have 9 or 10 expansion packs before TS4 comes out, if it follows the same path as TS2 did. Considering the gap between TS1 and TS2 was 55 months and the gap between TS2 and TS3 was 57, it should be just under another 2 years before TS4 is released - giving us 4 or 5 more expansion packs. Seasons is definitely in the making, there have been far too many hints and easter eggs in-game for it not to be. Hopefully EA are going to do the same thing as they did with Pets - rush out a random expansion pack to fill the '2 expansions, 2 stuffs per year' quota, and put most of their effort into making Seasons the best expansion pack yet! _________________  |

Quote: Remember that EA are churning out expansion packs for The Sims 3 a lot quicker than they did for The Sims 2 What? That doesn't make any sense. They release two Expansion Packs a year, like they always have. Since at least the very beginning of The Sims 2 they have kept it at this same exact pace. The Sims 3's EP's have come out in different months, but they've always kept to two a year.

And I had already been so convinced that Showtime (Late Night 2.0) was that random Expansion Pack. _________________ |

Re: The Sims 3: Showtime Announced!!! At this rate, Seasons is most likely to release early 2013.

Re: The Sims 3: Showtime Announced!!! Radiant wrote: Vanille wrote: At this rate, Seasons is most likely to release early 2013. Honestly it could be even later. I'm just saying the earliest possible, it could be late 2013 and ABSOLUTE LATEST in my opinion would be early 2014, because any later than that and it's just ridiculous. And due to Draik's post, I would say 1 random EP and 1 random SP have been taken down with Master Suite Stuff and Showtime, so that leaves one EP and one SP for the later half of 2012. Then finally in early 2013, we'd probably have Seasons if our assumptions are correct. _________________ Old Town - Pleasure Quarter - Industrial Zone |

I think it is going to be SO worth it though. But I don't doubt it honestly is taking time to perfect. Snow.. in a completely uninstructed world? They may even possibly be waiting to bump the specs for the game up at that rate. They included too many NOOB computers at launch. Hope TS4 isn't hindered by the same thing |
