I for one like this idea I think some of you are taking it as an insult I think the only other thing that they might put in the pach is the “slow dancing” interaction but what they have put in is brilliant!

Swimming and diving boards will be in the patch. Let me guess next they’re gonna say weather and aliens will be in the patch too…

What is the point of making an EP than giving features away for free?

I think they’re adding the diving board into the patch simply because they want everyone who bought “The Sims 3” to have it. I think originally Seasons was meant to come WAAY earlier than it did; and with that they kept saying “diving boards go with seasons” and kep that silly mentality this long.

Since Ron is gone and Ben is back I feel like the Sims team is more like Sims 2 and not Sims 3. Everything is getting better. They have given the fans 3 requested EP’s in just under a year. They’ve fixed things we wanted fixed. Celebrities are no longer an invasive species. We wanted LN lots and ST lots to be interchangeable; and they did it by the next patch. That patch was MAINLY for that.

I think as a whole the team is getting back to basics… eg satisifying the communities wants. While the community was screaming “Seasons! Magic! Vacations!” we were getting RPG adventures, watered down EP”s (Amb, LN, Gen) now we’re getting loaded content EP’s similar to Sims 2 (Pets, Showtime, Supernatural, Seasons)

This is their way of trying to make people happy. I’m willing to bet that Sims 3 sales are no where near as epic as Sims 2. At one point during the Sims 2 runs 4 of the titles were in the top 10 at christmas time. I think it was in 2007 when seasons came out, that holiday shopping season.

Doubt it. The way I see it, they will only patch things in if not having them would cause conflicts with ones that too. Take basements for example. Let’s say you don’t have world adventures and you see this really cool house on the exchange and that house has a basement. The guy downloads it and ether he can’t see that basement or something messes up and he can’t use the house. If you upload a sim to the exchange who could watch the stars (From generations) in your game that does not mean he will do that if a player without generations put him or her in their game as interactions can’t be transferred from player to player.

Well, just to add. There will be ONE free diving board in the patch, and ONE in the Seasons game.

I think it’s stupid they didn’t add it earlier, in Generations… But yeah, it will be a huge help in finding clothes!

Well that would be an opinion, not fact.

But I will eventually get it.
Esp if you can “turn off Halloween” most of time.
I’ve been reading a LOT of bugs/glitches & prefer to wait since I only like horror/supernatural in movies & books.
Does sound like a very hilarious remake of “Resident Evil” can be made of it though….

I’m looking foward to the filtering system in cas that will be patched in for everyone. This will help you find clothes and hairs from various eps,sps,store stuff and custom content much quicker.

I have so many clothes and hairstyles in cas now and they’ve slowed it down.
