“since this means more work on gameplay improvement and less on stupid marketing.”

No, it doesn’t, unless they were absolutely incompetent. The people doing the marketing shouldn’t be the people working on development. If they are, you need to fire who’s in charge of that office and get someone competent in there. The marketing team doing less work will have absolutely zero impact on the development team.

Wait, what? *Lounge chairs*, an object that’s been around since TS1 basegame, is considered a deal breaker?

I still think the next GP is going to be something like Island Vacation, a Outdoor Living/Jungle Adventure type vacation GP with ocean swimming, beach activities, suntans/sunburns etc. Sounds like the logical companion to Seasons and the groundwork is mostly done already from OL/JA, it just needs a new coat of paint.

I think they have said that pre teens are out of the question for now.

Gonna keep an open mind about the whole ‘new way to release content’ thing, but I won’t miss teasers or monthly stuff pack releases. They need to focus on their EPs and give us some game features that are worth spending money on. For what it’s worth with the release of Seasons they seem to be in the right track.

Can someone play a depressing song with a trumpet while I give my “Rest In Peace” speech that starts out with “Ladies and Gentlemen….boys and girls….cats and dogs….nudists and clothed people. We are gathered here today to mourn the loss of quarterly teasers. When they first arrived I expected a free quarter to help me buy a drink only to still run short on change when I found out they meant quarterly teasers prompting the cashier to tell me to get the plumbob out of her lane! This was the start of a beautiful memory from Simmers getting bitter that it was not revealing enough to taking to long to be released so we can complain that they aren’t revealing enough. The memories are absolutely priceless because we are not getting no silver change so yes I did feel teased. I felt the need to get more. I felt the need to know more. I felt the need to become a stripper to afford the numerous freakin stuff packs that gets released from these teasers. But I’m saved from that profession with the end of quarterly teasers. So with that said. In plumbob’s name. A shirtless man.

But will they be giving us more packs and gameplay? I hope that is why they are stopping the teaser. Otherwise it is going to take 10 years for us to get the stuff you’ve mention.

I want them too btw!

I agree . This could be a good thing or a bad thing. If they are planning on releasing more content then this is good. But when she says:

“This change means that there will be quarters where we don’t release new paid content”

It has me a bit worried. Though I know that we can get free content but I don’t see EA begin that generous with it. Maybe one item here and there in an update, but I really would like more EPs and GPs.

I’m still waiting for cars/garages and music bands with lead singer.

I think they might add younger teens, like Junior High School Teens. I don’t seem them changing the currents teens, though I could be wrong.
