Title: What Kind of EP's or SP's would you like to see for the Sims 3?
Post by: PixieStyx26 on May 13, 2009, 04:33:54 pm

I suppose I would like to see another round of EP's for TS3 sort of like the ones made for TS2 but just cleverly re-named like EA/Maxis did for TS2 from TS1 lol..

School EPs.

TS2 University was one my favourite EPs. It's kinda the most realistic EP for TS2, second only to NL.

Even if they call it TS3 University I wouldn't mind.

No EPs or SPs at all. They should start to be clever and create Base Game Extentions including objects, architectural additions, etc. Every Base Game Extention could have a complete separated section named "Challenges" where they could include all the extra nonsenses, giving the user the alternative of including them in the game OR NOT.
College crap, NPC crap, New District crap, creatures and all the jokies should be included in the challenges section or better named "Eaxities" (EA/Maxis stupidities) so that grown-up users could skip Eaxies nonsenses, like idles that repeat without control, kids gamies like punchpunch, kickBag, etc
Personly all I wanted from this gamie was a good architecture program with live mode.
I hate the EP Uni, just because it could have been a very good EP, but all it did was to include hundreds of NPCs and most of them fully disgusting.
My conclusion is that Eaxis after making a good Base Game, spent full time creating extra crap.
To follow TS2 EP by EP was one of the most irritating experience I ever had.

I hope EA includes as much as they can in the base game, and that they minimize the EP's (or at least put in more sensible things into them. I, personally, grow bored of a new EP after playing around for a few days. But I'm more into storytelling and picture taking, so that's why I have all EP's and SP's. The new EP's bring with them new animations, which I can't really do anything without, it feels like. Especially since the best poseboxes needs the EP's to work... I just hope EA make storytelling more user-friendly.

* first and foremost, a programme like SimPe (or better), that lets us make our own stuff... I grow bored if the only thing I can do is to recolor stuff. Maybe even some simple mesh programme that lets you put together furniture in new ways? (though I highly doubt they will put that in...)

* if they include pets in an EP - PLEASE let them put in other animals than just cats, hamsters, birds and dogs... I wanted to see horses, bunnies, elephants, dragons... you name it! those don't need to be playable, but at least usable. Horses and other huge animals that sims can interact with, ride on and take care of. Maybe even farm animals like cows, sheep and chickens.

* I do hope they include lots of baby/toddler/kid stuff (because those are the stages I like the most). But if they don't - then I hope they have an EP, or at least a SP with huge amounts of this. Toys, playground stuff, actual clothes for infants.... And I want usable stuff - not just beds, tables and deco. What's the point with new stuff if you can't really use it? CC creators makes much better stuff than EA has been able to do until now - their only hindrance is the lack of animations...

On the contrary. It feels like they made a game and then cut it in half a dozen slices, where the first slice (base game) turned out quite small. Just a fraction of the furniture and clothes stuff than with TS2. But then again that was to be expected, because they put just the basic neccessities in the base game, so they can sell the stuff you want on their website. And then add back the now missing functions and aspects with the EP's.

More contrary. EA never made SimPe in the first place and they now explicitly forbid modding in the EULA (as far as it is known as of now, see the sticky above). TS3 is a completely different product than TS2. It's a kid's game that you buy "as is" with option for spending a lot more money on additional content.

I'd like to see them come out with "Sims 3, We Tanked Cause we SUCKED," disk that when you place it into your disk drive, turns it all into Sims 2 compatible crap. Hey, a girl can dream.

I know that SimPe was not made by EAxis. And I'm aware that they'll probably never even concider making a programme like that. But it's a wish, anyway  :-\
EAxis knows how to make games, but have no idea how to make them more interesting for gamers... What I have seen of TS3 looks like a slightly modified version of sims2. All the old stuff is there, with maybe a few new additions, and what seems like a really annoying gameplay. I personally will probably stick to sims2 for a while longer. Maybe test out TS3, yes - but I don't think it's a lot better than TS2...
And what is up with those plastic faces??? Granted, TS2 doesn't have the best skintones either - but at least it's fairly easy to make our own skintones - with a programme maxis actually included... and that home crafter programme (walls/floors etc) crashed nearly every time I used it...

It's all very well to have a seemless whole town...but what's a town without weather?
They said everything is more realistic in Sims 3...where is the rain or snow?
Seasons for sure...then pets!

I would really like to see more Pets for sure, plus ferrets, I love ferrets.

And for every one else TSR is trying to make there TS3 modding tool compatable with TS2 objects so you can import them in to the game. 1rock

After the history that TSR has with screwing over the rest of the community, I know that if I was going to get the game I'd rather trust a tool that the free creators came up with. Just watch, they'll do it yet. No tool that TSR has come up with yet has either worked, or topped what the rest of them have done. From what I've read, supposedly they've had the thing in development for six months and have gotten nowhere.

How about starting with a well tested bug free base game?? Any one think that would be a good place to start wishing? EA looks to have dropped the ball on this one. Who wants an EP of more ugly pastic funky looking kinda sims and sim stuff?? I do not have the game, and in all likelyhood will not. The reviews tell the story. Read some from different sites. Forget Ep's, we need a real base game first. ;)

OK, enough dragging it off-topic. Yeah, I've said some negative things, but let's allow these guys to enjoy their game and hope for the future instead of dragging them down into the muck.

How about a dedicated EP that could be "Civilizations" themed -- Egyptian, Roman, Greek, Medieval/Renaissance.  Have neighbourhoods, careers, build mode/buy mode items from that period.  With TS2, some great creations were made encompassing those historical eras, so introduce a "complete" recreation of that time period.

What kind of EPs or SPs would you like to see for the Sims 3?

Our family has been playing the game (and really trying hard to love it, no avail) since the afternoon of June 2, and the verdict is none.

I won't hold my breath, but I'm waiting for either another TS2 EP, or the Sims 4 where the knuckleheads at EA combine the best of TS2 with TS3 - which is what they should have done for TS3.

I would actually prefer to see more expansions for Sims 2.
