Petition For New Sims2 EP
Theraven:
Not signing anything that gives me more mail spam than I already get... Not when there is no chance the signing will do any good.
After 9 EPs and uhm... not sure how many SPs, most PCs tend to struggle. My laptop started begging for mercy after FT, and any more now, my PC will probably start groaning too. And I don't think there's a chance for more EPs with Sims 3 out, not when it starts to look like EA are about to abandon Sims 3 soon, too.
Honestly, I think the community can make better stuff now than EA manages on their own. The more recent EPs and SPs didn't add much new, and the EPs tend to contain more stuff we don't need than stuff we really want.
Spartle:
Oh my goodness... EA about to abandon Sims 3 already? I hadn't heard about that. Where did you read that?
Theraven:
Someone mentioned it here at Insim, I think. Don't know if it's true, but they're seemingly spending less and less energy (read: money) on advertising the EPs. Realizing it's a sinking ship, maybe...
HappyThoughts:
I agree, and agree, and agree some more and all points made here. But I will add, if they ever did come out with a 'anything sims2 related ep or s2' It should be a remover of their own maxis stuff in buy and build and CAS mode. The stuff that I still never use because its just so random/useless/ugly or whatever. If I could rid my game permanently of the stuff I dont use it would run so much smoother. For others too I'm sure.
In conclusion lol lets all cross our fingers that this major hit they took with S3 will enlighten them and encourage them to get the job done with a mind blowing S4. I'll wait up to 5-8 yrs on a game aslong as its great in the end. Look at the most popular games ever made, all of them had tremendously long development times. Here's hoping! cheers.

If you want EAxis stuff hiders, there are plenty at MTS2. Don't count on EA... :-\
The reason Sims 1 was considered great, was because it was a mostly new consept, and because Will Wright and Maxis was behind it. Not EA, who bought up Maxis somewhere around when they realized it was a great way of scooping in more money.
The reason Sims 2 was great, was because Maxis/WW still had a hand into it (at least the basegame, can't remember the entire story here), and because the change from TS1 to TS2 was such a great jump in graphics, and much wider in what you could do, that they got a a whole lot of new players into it.
The reason Sims 3 is considered a flop, is because it was entirely EA's creation (if you look away from what they stole from Sims 2, of course - which was about 80% of the entire concept, including recycling most of the animations). What was their own creations in this, they either missed entirely on what people wanted, or didn't make it quite into what it could be. They let down too many players, which is why a lot of the old TS2 players still refuses to have anything to do with it.
The jump from TS1 to TS2 was a mountain, compared to TS2 to TS3 which was about the top of an anthill...
Sims 4... Maybe someday, in the future. But I would have been much more optimistic if EA weren't behind it...
