What in nine hells is this VIP section and when one is considered to be a "VIP"?
Are they trying to make kids/early teens to feel important or it is just my idea?

There were offers made to become a VIP, in the sims 3 store. No doubt by spending oodles of money you accumulate lots of sims points and that then enables you to access their VIP. section and spend even more money on some of the more exotic stuff.

More exotic stuff? It sounds like a suspicious dance club to me. Cheesy

My guess is that this section where the selected feature artists get to display their creations.

I got the VIP for registering my game...which I had to do to play anyway--so I didn't get the whole  "Special VIP bonus for registering!" spiel.

Was it a preordered or a regular pack bought from a store?

I found it, its okay to me... still some kinks I think they need to solve.  Other than that it's pretty good.
I wouldn't recommend what I did though...I've been a bad boy, but I CAN'T WAIT ANYMORE!

Of course I'm still gonna get the retail version when it comes out! Grin

It was for SLS.  I had to register to play it--but they threw in an "If you register you'll become a VIP and receive exclusive Sims 3 news and bonuses!"  Which wouldn't have been so ironic if I'd had a choice.  Not to mention they wiped out all the SLS sites, help pages and welcomepack items to make way for the Sims 3 adverts.

I'm glad I wasn't the only one who noticed that DaSpecial. I tried getting a welcome pack and some said CC when I registered TSLS and it was no where to be found rolleyes

Yes and the wonderful customer service @ EA just kept referring me back to the site to get it...like even the reps didn't know they had wiped them out.  Still happens.  If I log in to the game and click on the SLS help link it goes to the Sims 3 site.  Wouldn't have been so bad if they actually had something that approximated true customer service.

I think it's sad that I only purchased TS2 because of the help I got from InSim and other real sims communities--yet the company disregards their imput.   Any installation problems or game issues etc I had were resolved by simmers here and the wealth of information on MATY & MTS2.  It's little wonder why people would feel less loyalty or trust in the brand.

If that's a fact then I'd say EA is leaking these games themselves to claim profit losses.
