Sure. When a company releases pictures, it's promotion. All I was saying is that maniac was just updating us and there's nothing wrong with that. And I think there's no reason to be rude or say that he's just promoting the game simply by sharing new information with us.

Just because not everyone is excited about the game doesn't mean that those people who are can't post or share anything.

Some people are interested. They just don't comment as much since most people seem to disagree. Pictures do not equal promotion. There's my 2 cents. 

Thank you for the update, maniac19642003.

I'm just looking at it as a whole different game and less of an extension (definitely not as a replacement) of TS2. That's the reason I'm still excited! I'm just getting another game and not loosing a thing! I am bummed about the CC thing, but I guess I'll just deal with it as it goes.

As am I! I can understand why people are skeptical, but it's still not managing to curb my enthusiasm. 

Basically, the moral of the story is don't download it now. DO NOT WANT.

^ Yeah, I'm not sure I'd be too thrilled with another expansion about jobs. I have all of the expansions for 2 and I have to say that Open for Business is the one that I literally never use. Not even a little bit. I imagine this expansion for 3 would be different though as jobs work differently in this game, but I suppose we shall see ... 

You Should Play the Saxophone



You are charismatic, friendly, and very uninhibited.
You have a lot of personal expression to bring your music.

Improvisational  and informal, you can't deal with an instrument that has too many rules or complexities.
You are much more interested in creating unique solos than immersing yourself in music theory.

You have a lot of style, and you definitely are one smooth operator.
And while you may not play perfectly, no one's going to accuse you of being boring.

Your dominant personality characteristic: being very outgoing

Your secondary personality characteristic: your flair for the unique and dramatic

What Musical Instrument Should You Play?

I think it's funny that I got the saxophone after answering that I'd play in a symphony to gain notoriety. Lol. 

Lol. No problem! Yeah, it'll probably be pretty slow, but it would still run. Definitely save up for some RAM though. You would be amazed what a difference it makes. Everything runs SO much better ...  Makes me wish I'd gotten it sooner!

Triplets!!!! Yay.

Anyone else loving this pseudo Star Trek theme? 

^ No. Ram essentially just makes the game run faster. You can definitely install the game and run it without having enough. Before I got more RAM (and then a whole new computer thanks to my kitty spilling water on my keyboard and frying my motherboard  ) I had gravely too little ram to run Sims 2 well. I only had 128M of ram on my old pc, which is barely enough to even function. It was sad. But the game still played! It was just really choppy and slow on even the lowest settings. How much do you have currently? (And what operating system are you on? Makes a bit of difference too.)

Ooh ... I hope that's not what they mean. Perhaps they just meant to refer to the neighborhood? After you download it, then you can play it offline? I don't know. I hope that's what it is! 

^ And because he saved this site, so imho he can do/say whatever he wants! 

I may be wrong, but I don't believe that you will have to register it online to play it, just to download things. I think. That's what it seemed like at least from what I've heard.

^ If it doesn't work and you can't get a refund, you could always sell it on ebay!  I'm sure someone there would buy it!

Yeah, I would be really surprised too. I'm may be in the minority, but I'm kind of ok with not having sliders for those. I am a little bummed that CC may be difficult, but I'm going to to just try and revamp how I play, focus more on the stories than having the most gorgeous sims ever. I'll just make the best of what they give us, I suppose. I'm ready for a change.


Lol. Oh, Britney. She started out well but then things just went so terribly wrong ...
