I mean it looks like the schools are interactive, I think if this is true I will start creating sims in kids to teens because I find their gameplay very boring. idk.
There is no college. Graduation =/necessarily= College. It's high school graduation.
Memories, I am hoping, are like achievements, rather than game-destroying worthless little stupid-ass boxes that added nothing to the game but gamebreaking destruction.
Also, this may be wishful thinking, but the wedding screenshot makes me think they gave hte game the rendering and CAS sliders of Medieval. That male sim looks very nice.
"Memories, I am hoping, are like achievements, rather than game-destroying worthless little stupid-ass boxes that added nothing to the game but gamebreaking destruction."
THIS. SO MUCH THIS. I enjoy the idea of memories, but my games in TS2 were so messed up because of memories. I also enjoy having my neighborhoods full of sims, so adding memories would create more leg. :I
I don't know how I feel about this yet. I did have a sim get married when I was playing a week ago and thought it was a little depressing that there was no wedding cake and no arch. It's something you only really miss once in an active household but when you're game's not running so smoothly you may have a few of those. I liked memories from the sims 2 mostly because then if my game froze up I could remember who had shagged who since the last save. I know that sounds dumb but that's mostly what I'd used it for. I honestly haven't played with kids hardly at all yet. Sometimes they're just a hassle. Seeing them in school would be cool I guess.
Overall though this doesn't look like something I want to fork $40 over for.

This seized to impress me, a Memory system to share online? Really? WTF waste of an expansion.
If there is real weddings, I hope there will now be a real Church lot type, or "non-denomination religious facility", as will probably still be the case. One step closer to a priest job.
"If there is real weddings, I hope there will now be a real Church lot type, or "non-denomination religious facility", as will probably still be the case. One step closer to a priest job"
I would like to have a priest, like in Medieval. But religion has never been introduced in TS3 and I think EA will never do it, even if it's a "non-denomination religious facility".
So long as the religions are extremely ridiculous, made-up, and won't cause any huge scandal for TS3 or EA, I wouldn't mind. But of course...EA doesn't have that kind of imagination, so it's best left to the Modders.
"I honestly haven't played with kids hardly at all yet. Sometimes they're just a hassle. Seeing them in school would be cool I guess."
Do you really think you'll see your sims at school? There is no schools on the images. I only see a few teens wearing the same clothes and doing activities in a room.. EA use to do these kind of things, to make their games more attractive
I had hoped University would be included. But EA is not really imaginative..And I'm agree, it seems to be only a EP with things which should have been included in the base game since the beginning.
Moreover, I don't like to read that rumors will break couples. This rumors system is painful since the previous EP, by destroying all our sim's relationships. WE HATE RUMORS, EA..
If they are going to include a religion, they would have to include not just one, but at least the 5 big religions in the world. But since we are our sims' "God" after all, I'd say no to religion in game.
Anyway, I always thought that the game lacked social interactions, so I'm glad to see we will get more. And I hope they include some between toddlers too. I'm also excited about the weddings, since they have been a little sad without a cake and the arch.
Sorry, but I can't imagine that somebody could like a system when only a false rumor can break all your family and friends's relationships.. relationships which are long and very difficult to build. Sims can lose 10 friends in the same time, so sorry to generalize, but I generalize..YES, WE HATE RUMORS, EA
I feel like people are never satisfied when it comes to sims games. I admit some of them aren't really "OMFG LOOK AT THAT" amazing but quit complaining soo much geesh. It's SIMS 3 not SIMS 2 and it's definitely better, even at this early stage in expansions. I personally think Generations looks fantastic, it it provides that real-life dynamic.
The Sims 3 is a 100x better and will keep improving :)
Can't wait till Generations is installed on my Desktop <3
I really like the open neighborhood and that you can paint everything your style, but I am missing real creativity in the gameplay itself. I really like playing sims 3, but after a few minutes i get totally bored because there is not much to do anymore. So is there any alternative?
I'm actually really looking forward to this one. I play children all the time, and we need more interactions for them. I hate how unrealistic it is right now between parents and children. They are like strangers.
Sims 2 sucks. HORRIBLE graphics and the picture "system" sucks. You take a picture and they more than likely become a thumbnail that you have to search through different folders to find because there is no screenshot folder and if you made one it would likely not work anyway. I love my screenshots. And then there's the lack of an open world. The single thing that is better is the gameplay.
I am really really really looking forward to this expansion pack. I like to play families so this ep should add alot to my gameplay experience :) So excited!!!!
I saw someone on here comment about the memory system, is that really coming back because that would be awesome! :3 From the pictures generations looks like family fun stuff expanded. I'm pretty sure the school pictures are just Machima, EA does that. Which is okay by me but it does imply things about the game that aren't real.
I hope we'll have memories back in Generations, I miss those.
ReplyDeleteI hope it has college, like real college with classes and stuff, not just pranks and dorms.
ReplyDeleteI mean it looks like the schools are interactive, I think if this is true I will start creating sims in kids to teens because I find their gameplay very boring. idk.
ReplyDeleteIt's the Swedish cover art, not Norwegian. ;)
ReplyDeleteAfros!
ReplyDeleteHope the wedding veil is an accessory.
Bouncy toy out by the treehouse.
This game will never top the sims 2. ::sigh::
ReplyDelete^Then stop thinking of it as the new Sims 2, and think of it as the seperate game, Sims 3.
ReplyDeleteMemory system sounds very interesting, and I'm happy to see toddlers, children and teens getting more out of the game.
I really don't mind if there isn't any college myself. It would be nice, but unecessary. The classes around town are fine enough for now.
Though, the idea of a real school as opposed to a rabbithole is just...fantastic...I still hope it's true.
I am so freaking excited for this. I also miss the memory system... It gave so much personality to the sims. But this looks really good.
ReplyDeleteThere is no college. Graduation =/necessarily= College. It's high school graduation.

I would like zombies.
ReplyDeleteIt looks like a college graduation. In each section, it is focused on a different age group. The rabbit hole could be the government building.
ReplyDeleteI don't know how I feel about this yet.

oh wow. to share on facebook. i can just hear my family now. "what is sims?"
ReplyDelete^ Lol. And you'll answer "A video game." It's not rocket science. Smh.
ReplyDeleteIf there is real weddings, I hope there will now be a real Church lot type, or "non-denomination religious facility", as will probably still be the case. One step closer to a priest job.

And?
To the anon that's oh so excited about school uniforms.
ReplyDeleteYou could make that uniform now, they're all base game items, just patterned to look like uniforms.
White collared short sleeve shirt, knee-length skirt in plaid, black maryjane shoes and the white knee socks.
TaDa!
"If there is real weddings, I hope there will now be a real Church lot type, or "non-denomination religious facility", as will probably still be the case. One step closer to a priest job"
ReplyDeleteI would like to have a priest, like in Medieval. But religion has never been introduced in TS3 and I think EA will never do it, even if it's a "non-denomination religious facility".
The Sims 3: "What Should Have Been Base Game" Expansion Pack! Coming June 2011!
ReplyDeleteThe world is rapidly going down in flames. Introducing religion to the game might not be a bad thing imho.
ReplyDeleteWOOOOOOAAAAH ... Yay!!! This is just as great as the comeback of the Backstreet Boys!!!
ReplyDeleteI'd actually love to see all sorts of religions in this game. Imagine how much more interest it would add to the game.
ReplyDeleteSo long as the religions are extremely ridiculous, made-up, and won't cause any huge scandal for TS3 or EA, I wouldn't mind. But of course...EA doesn't have that kind of imagination, so it's best left to the Modders.

ReplyDeleteDon't generalize....
the sims is all about happy times! no need for religion!
ReplyDeleteno religions and politics please...keep that mess for real life.
ReplyDeleteSchools wont be interactive. Weddings will just be like birthdays were you have the cake and the other sims watch them cut it, thats it
ReplyDeleteThe "School Uniforms" are just made up of clothes that are included in the base game
ReplyDelete"WE HATE RUMORS, EA."
ReplyDeleteDon't generalize...."

I can't believe this hasn't been said...
ReplyDeleteThe Sims religion could be based around the Dali Llama.
*gigglesnort*
GO LLAMAS!

And yet another paypack to milk money from the sim community.
ReplyDeleteIs there any alternative to the sims (3)?
ReplyDeleteI really like the open neighborhood and that you can paint everything your style, but I am missing real creativity in the gameplay itself. I really like playing sims 3, but after a few minutes i get totally bored because there is not much to do anymore. So is there any alternative?
An official trailer on You Tube: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mwPzaX3AiPU&feature=player_embedded
ReplyDeleteWondering how soon this new game with crash.
ReplyDeleteI'm actually really looking forward to this one. I play children all the time, and we need more interactions for them. I hate how unrealistic it is right now between parents and children. They are like strangers.
ReplyDeleteIf my calculations are correct all according to what should have been in base Game Expansion Pack. Then Swimming should be in here, amIrite?
ReplyDelete^^^^ Shut down your comp and get the heck out?
ReplyDeleteAs in outdoors... No bad intentions:).
"^^^^ Shut down your comp and get the heck out?
ReplyDeleteAs in outdoors... No bad intentions:)."
That's rude, how can I possibly look over it after you write get out followed by
"No bad intentions"?
Don't be so quick to jump to conclusions, focus on your life and not others.
Next time you type something up stay on topic.
