“that the Future EP was the last for this year and not the final pack.”

Actually he had slipped up at a community event and said the “final game”, then quickly retracted and attempted to do damage control by stating “for this year”.

And EA lies yet again…hmm, they said quite clearly, actually I believe it was SimGuru Ryan who said in the broadcast unveiling the rest of this year’s lineup…that the Future EP was the last for this year and not the final pack.

Huh. So much for all the lies about how the Sims 3 has another two years to go (read that from a SimGuru sometime in this past six months, I think on Twitter….) and that the Sims 3 has lots of life in it (another Guru comment I’m quite sure I saw on Twitter).

I am so relieved to not give EA any more of my money. It’s a shame that they own the Sims franchise. I don’t blame the Gurus…I blame the company they work for who feed us all these lies and nonsense.

I love the franchise so much, but it’s definitely the end for me now…I just can’t stand the lies, because if it were all about the fans they’d give us a proper product that worked or at least clean up their messes before jumping ship and moving to a new version! (As I know they did the same with Sims 2….things left broken as they moved on to Sims 3…why did I assume it would be any different now?…this is why I am grumpy!)

But then again, I also refuse to shop at Wal-Mart, because they are just as bad (but I digress..). Well at least I know I’m not the only sensible person getting off the merry-go-round (Go Twallan!). Now I can cozy up and really enjoy my games without the moral dilemma of whether to buy the next pack or not. Such a relief.

Beyond that, we continue to create content for The Sims 3 Store.

LMAO are they really serious? Why the hell should I continue to buy from the Sims 3 store when the Sims 4 is right around the corner? That would be dumb, pointless and a waste of money IMO.

Thanks Enjoji101! I was genuinely curious if someone out there saw the silver lining in them aside from making horror meme and what have you! I haven’t played with mummies since WA first came out.

I have yet to find one, I’ve even spent a few real time hours watching the nighttime skies in-game to see an aurora borealis that is supposed to herald the arrive of the Unicorn, no such luck. I seen an AB once, but by the time I noticed it and got zoomed in, No Unicorn.

Exactly! I stopped using the makeover thing, because it was driving me crazy. And there are so many other things that still don’t work right and would have made it more fun to play, if we could

I quite enjoy the Mummy lifestate – once I add some mods with it, lol… change the way they look and the way they walk, and I actually love the fact they don’t need to sleep or pee.. or change outfits! For some characters I have in Sims 3, that’s a plus. Also, my game freezes for like 15 mins whenever a Sim needs to change clothes (grr!) … The only downside? They get soaking wet for 2 hrs whenever they bathe or swim around – and they hate fire. Other than that, it’s kinda cool once you fiddle with it a bit 🙂

You NEVER saw unicorns?? Ever? But how? I saw them quite often. At night you follow the bright shiny, sometimes a bit wavy light that streams up from the ground into the sky. They are a bit skittish, but kinda cool.
Zombies really were more annoying than scary.
I can’t wait for IP though cuz I am a beach freak 😀

I can’t say I’m surprised, but yet this is quite sad. I would’ve loved a farming EP or an OFB remake. (Just like most of us.) Oh well. 🙁

Darrell, I’m thinking the same thing you are. Also, financially I can’t afford to get attached to another series. Sims 4 would have to be beyond amazing, which I doubt will happen.
