November. No wonder support for the multitude of problems with the base game was not there, all resources were diverted to get the sequel of the ground.

Well, that would open up a whole bunch of neighborhoods .... unless EA is planning to make a neighborhood with all three destinations in it! (Though a mini-Epcot-like neighborhood would be interesting.) But I do hope there aren't any rabbit holes in them. That might be a let-down. And I do hope that EA is much more generous with the free content.

The new EP is interesting, I admit.

A second Bon Voyage is not on the top of my wishlist. But if there are new neighborhoods, where my sims can live, ok. Yes, I hate this stupid rabbit holes too. I hope, sims can settle down in this new regions and that they are not only for hollidays.

I don't get the entire rabbithole hate. I am, in fact, pro-rabbithole and think we need MORE RABBITHOLES. That's not to say I wouldn't like to see non-rabbitholes, but sometimes, meaning OFTEN, you just REALLY DON'T CARE. I mean, in TS2, the entire "restaurant sequence" was a non-interactive deathtrap, that may as well have been a rabbithole for all the real influence you had on the process. Sometimes it was nice to see...other times you just wanted to get it over with. Rabbitholes fill that need. We could have rabbithole and non-rabbithole versions of everything.

Gamespot posted a new article on World Adventures with 2 new screen shots. Interesting part of this preview is that you can choose to go on a normal vacation or go on a treasure hunt instead. A lot of people were worried that this adventure was the only option in the game.
The rest of the article mostly covers the adventure part like meeting mummies and the like. The 3 new skills are: Martial Arts, Photography and Nectar Making.

Martial arts! Yay if there's real sparring! Oh, who am I kidding? I want Deathmatches!

[amberfaye]

Cool. I think it looks pretty fun... wuldnt have been my first pick at expansions, but none the less, looks pretty sweet!

Pescado my furious friend you're preaching to the choir.

Has anyone seen the video teaser at IGN?

Do we have a new creature?

[Pierre]

i can say yes there are mummys (egypt) in the world adventure expansion pack

[Paden]

Don't count on that until you have the EP, Pierre. Or have you forgotten that someone at the company said something about no creatures in this particular version of Sims?

[caffeinated.joy]

I would hazard a guess and say that the mummy they show in the teaser is an uncontrollable NPC. It's not likely we'll actually be able to play mummies.

Sim Times found the cover for the upcoming World Adventures expansion pack. EA confirmed that this will indeed be the cover. It's interesting since it shows a little bit of the other 2 countries.

The cover can be seen at snootysims.

I’m a little disappointed since it’s kind of based on the BV idea (sims going on a vacation) and I really wanted to see something new and exciting. I hope the next EP will be a brand new idea they didn’t try on TS2.
Just my opinion.
