I've read an interview with TS3 creators - sorry, I can't find the link where I read it - and they released A TON of info on the game.

Apparently, the theme is going to be based around a Civilization, where things that you do can affect masses as big as the entire town, or even future generations.
When you play with one sim, time doesn't stop for any of the others in the town. They age and interact with the environment just like the specific sim you play with does.
You have the ability to walk through town, and go from the farthest edge of the city limits to the opposite side without once hitting a loading screen.
Many of the annoying Wants/Needs bars are said to be removed (Fun, Comfort and Enviornment to name a few) and the ones still present will deteriorate a slower pace, and will not take over the game.
You have many more sim options (appearance and personality wise).
Sims can have a wide range of body types - Fat, pudgy, muscular, stick skinny, or average as just a few of the sizes.
Personalities are based off choosing 3 out of 80 some aspects to an individual, which would add up to... lol a very large number.

Yeah, I know what you mean by "who can really know". But they can't be doing too much changing by now, because a year is nothing compared to the time it will take to put together finishing touches, work out bugs, advertise the game, and bring more previews to the public.

I'll give you my thanks, too! :rabbit:

It was great. Everything was synced really well, and the characters looked like they just came out of Woodstock. lol. Nice Job. :-P

Great job. I liked it, the graphics turned out good, too. :-P

That was defiantly one of the funniest sims vids I've ever seen. Very nice.

By the way, I loved the uni-brow.

If I ever got Bon Voyage - which I haven't yet - it would only be for the Beach option. That would be really useful in movies, but I have so much CC on my computer that I would hate to lose any of the stuff in my game. And if the overall review is that it's not even worth the money, then I might as well bypass this one and wait for the next.

For the Vacation expansion, the only thing that I actually enjoyed was building the lots. That might be the only thing I would look forward to doing in Bon Voyage. Getting to build a beach resort or something might be kind of cool. But in Vacation, my sims would get to the hotel and then I would kinda think... "Okay, now what?"

Maybe the next expansion could fix all those issues we are bringing up - being able incorporate all the EPs at the same time. Like, being able to build a business on a Bon Voyage lot, or have pets be able to come along with our sims on their vacations.


As of right now, it doesn't sound like Bon Voyage is worth the money, or the hassle. :sad1:
