There was probably something in the contract with Ford that the sets would only be up for a certain amount of time. I wish they’d give us some notice, though. I wouldn’t mind this vaulting and removal so much if we had a month’s warning that we needed to download stuff and spread the word.

She doesn’t talk like that. That statement was sent via email by her boss. LOL

Why would you vault free sets to be released during the apprioate time of year when it is currently that time?

Good god Sarah, you could have at least told your boss “um, this isn’t really a good explanation. It basically says “We’re not going to answer your question, but you will get them back just as soon as we are done making the new stuff that will be released for 2100 simpoints”

😛

What I’m thinking now for sure is that it will be a very large set (lots of objects, multiple PC) for both Halloween & Christmas (2 sets I’m thinking at different times) and that with that we’ll get loads of *NEW* stuff and they will repackage in the old stuff for free so that it becomes one of those typical EA marketing strategies… “Want this? You have to buy that….” So, the stuff will still be free, but it will be packaged as a set and probably not for individual download so you have to buy the PC sets that will compliment Seasons.

I think it’s whack, but that’s EA’s money hungary bas**** at work.
I don’t care that much, because I had allready gotten all of that stuff even though it’s stupid to have w/o Seasons. AND I’m a big supporter of PC themed Seasons sets for holidays so that the player can decide if they so wish to have a “Christmas Morning” or “Hannakah” party. I don’t much about other holidays other than those two, so I couldn’t come up with PC ideas. I know a Tree & Manorah would be great PC. Maybe a spin the dradle PC game would be cool too.

I just hope the Halloween set comes out BEFORE Seasons. I want it for actual Halloween in RL. Hopefully that’s next weeks set. Probably won’t be. They’re good at packaging products to make you spend money but not so good at timing things right. LOL

that’s so sad

And I’m the person who asked on twitter. I’m sharkloverplayer aka catloverplayer.

I assume that we will get a special all holiday premium content package that makes some of the holidays more interactive. 🙂

If they were adding new functions to the objects it would make a little bit of sense, but this seems nothing but an inconvenience especially since time in The Sims doesn’t match up with ours. It could be fall in real life but winter in our sims’ neighbourhood. They really should reconsider this decision, but I doubt they will.

Weird decision.
