Having a sims with CC and other worries...

[lewisb40]

Before I rebuilt my family's lot, I was reading sims moving out of town and not coming back, then a request to beautify your lots so more would move in town. Since building, those annoucements stopped, but no one has moved in. So maybe they are thinning out...

How original. That was one of the features in sim city. They're plagiarizing their own games.

LOL Abaris. Can't you see TS3 is a mixture of Sims and SimCity?

Does this mean we can have Godzilla go through on a rampage as punishment for unauthorized breeding? IhopeIhopeIhope!

Sorry, I am not a gamer, just a simmer.    Didn't know about that feature, but it's good information. Thanks.

LOL, @ Paden. That would be cool!

[Nalia]

lewis..   What you apologise for? Abaris' sarcasm was directed at EAxis, not you.

Paden, bring it on. Bring it on I say!

Oh no!!!! No cc? *pouts*

[Nalia]

No CC the way we know it now with TS2, Nyx. I'm afraid it might prove to be a difficult to almost impossible task to create those gorgeous Elves of yours in TS3.

If you like fantasy sims, or cool fantasy outfits, or ANYTHING abstract even, do yourself a solid...


Stick with TS2.


Cuz it ain't happenin' on TS3. If you're one of the optimists that keep thinking "oh maybe EA will be nice and..." keep dreaming. It's not happening, and there ain't no heel clicking and wishing upon a star that's changing it. The CC policy for TS3 is pretty much set in stone. So anyone, and I do mean ANYONE who wants to use custom meshes, be they created by others or created by themselves are crap out of luck as far as TS3 goes. That's just the grim reality of it. TS2 offers users a means of artistic expression. TS3 is just a video game. Nuff said.

Precisely. You will be buying a game with an inbuilt paint shop.
Those who choose to buy the thing will more than likely end up with a one of collectors curiosity. I fear once the games limitations begin to sink in sales and interest will begin to drop dramatically.
From a gamers view this thing has all the ingredients for a serious flop. Consider this. Who now has the cash to mess about in the store after saving and budgeting just for the base game, or perhaps even some extra ram. or a bargain elcheapo graphics card?
If I were an investor AE would be last place I would invest in at the moment.
I don't even think EA have any confidence in the game, Why else are they already talking about their next EP. even before the base game has been released.
Months ago the question of an EP. was cast aside for that same reason 'The base game hasn't been released yet'
Now that all the controversy and division amongst the sims fan base is beginning to sink in they are beginning to realise that this thing could be a dud.
It's early days yet, but in the next couple of months this sims 3 debacle will make some very interesting reading.

Precisely. The 1st few months of the game being on the market are going to be the telling tale of it. And just as you stated, people are having to upgrade their rigs just to be able to play the frakkin' thing, let alone having to now shell out cash for content. Big mistake. People are cutting corners to meet daily needs these days, what the heck makes EA think they'll pony up cash for CC? Especially when said CC runs the same price as say...a gallon of milk, or a tank of gas. What part of "Recession" did they miss? They shot themselves in the foot already, and it's going to bleed out slowly. As was stated in another thread, it's already estimated they'll lose close to 9 Million on the torrent leak. They'll lose just as much if not more off of the CC distribution. Especially since it's the ONLY way you can get CC without violating EA's ULA. What's amazing is that you still have people still in denial about it, despite the fact that the FACTS are out and plain as day.

Well, I'm looking into bringing the Babby Roaster to the open neighborhood. Because while in TS2, babby-roasting was mostly a curiosity confined to your lot, in TS3...OM NOM NOM NOM!

That alone would entice me to obtain the bloody game.
