They’re saving OfB for Sims 4, lol.

As emotionally scarring as that mental image is, I agree with you up to the naked part, lol. There needs to be more inter-linkage between EPs, like sims one had things that only happened if you had certain EPs,examples like the spell in makin Magic with the black rose, which you could only get from the stalker in Superstar. The only EP in Sims 3 with a crossover Supernatural and Seasons and it’ s kind if useless…. Here’s hoping Sims 4 is generally a better planned game.

See? Even the reviewer is like: “Y U NO MAKE OFB ALREADY D:”. Seriously, one of the BEST EPs of the Sims 2 era that revolutionised how people played the game and come to expect from the franchise… THAT’s the EP they chose to skip. smh. The end of TS3 can’t come quick enough for me. They better not make the same mistakes with TS4!

I agree with you Pilo, the way expansion packs are so disjointed is maddening. They know a large majority of players will buy multiple expansion packs and why thiey will not do us the favor of making them more connected is beyond me especially when they have me bent over naked taking have me take it up the back side at forty dollars a pop.

I rather like the idea of having rabbit hole buildings but I would ALSO like the option to have a special rug or something where I do not require the rabbit hole building. Grr. I understand not everything we want can be included into an expansion pack but it seems as if they stop short and in essence make it where we are not able to flex our creativity. They preach constantly about the story telling and creativity we can do. Apparently I am playing a different game.

Well, honestly, is there a single TS3 EP that hasn’t been disappointing or underwhelming in some sense? I hate how you can’t take your pets anywhere, how you can’t travel (without mods) between the worlds and how they made Word Adventures so unrelated to other EPs. It’s almost like a spin-off in the same game because it has no connection to the rest of the game. We’re lucky that at least Seasons works with all the EPs…

I hope they plan ahead with The Sims 4 and make EPs work better with each other.

I agree. The rabbit hole requirement is completely useless. I understand adding spa features as a rabbit hole, since spas were opened up in Sunlit Tides, but attaching it to a rabbit hole that Sims MUST sleep in when we could easily just use a bed, bathroom, etc. is insulting to builders.

If anything, they should have just make a small spa rabbit holes to place on the lot.

Now, I’m actually bothered by not having the ability to create a small camp site as lodging, not because I’ll make one, but because I know others will, as well as other forms as lodging and making a system flexible enough to make businesses.

To be quite honest, I can understand why Mermaids (different mesh for fish tail?) and Zombies (they’re normally not permanent, plus you can’t interact with them and the’re not considered as an actual supernatural lifestate) wouldn’t be created on CAS.

Howver, Plantsims…not so much (since we do have the skin tone, hair, and clothing options for them from the start on CAS, and with this and the unlockable vine texture they could be easily made from scratch if the feature to make them was available to those with Supernatural installed). I mean, we are able to make Genies from scratch with both that and Showtime installed.

In any case, I’m glad you can at least become a Mermaid. That’s good enough for me and it can be a fun challenge.

Even if they’re not in CAS, there would probably be options to transform into one – I’m looking at zombies and Plantsims.

“You could opt for a family friendly resort, a romantic retreat with more palm trees than you can shake a positive pregnancy test-stick at, or a raucous 18-30′s nightmare, with staff dressed in degrading costumes and juice kegs galore. ” The pregnancy part made me laugh as well. I will be adding that to list of things I say.
