    Glad to see they enabled socializing while bowling!

    I was pleasantly surprised that they gave Sims the ability to socialize while bowling. That was my number one gripe about that feature. Perhaps I will actually use it now!

      Yes I am so happy about that and being able to alter the game length.

      I am so excited! I have wanted to use bowling for teens, but there was not much point to it.

      Totally agree, I hated that they couldn't before. Bowling just didn't feel right, so its a much welcome surprise/fix.

      I was excited about the pack until I heard about that issue so I might stick the game back on the wishlist now. :)

      I can recommend the pack for the CAS items alone. Especially if you are getting seasons, the tops are great to create summer outfits and swim wear. I am going to leave this under a spoiler because I have spammed the forum with these pictures way too many times.

      And I will definitely give bowling another chance now. :)
      If I just posted an outfit you like, I have good news - there is more where that came from!

      I think the sim I am playing now might ask his crush to go bowling for a first date when I fire up the game later

      @Netzspannung I think that CAS female top is another reason why I wanna buy it too as it works well for anything!

      What other objects from past packs do you think need updating? Seeing as thought they listened to our many complaints about bowling we could probably get another object updated! Great job to The Sims team for addressing this.

      I agree. I was so peeved when I saw how they just silently stood while the players bowled. It was my number one reason for rating it almost dead last of the stuff packs. I will have to look how they improved it when I get the urge to play.

      Stee-rike! The two things I wanted most from Bowling! They picked up the 7-10 split of socializing and variable game lengths.
      Certain of my Sims who shall remain nameless (Caleb Vatore) have the attention span of a grapefruit and can't handle more than three frames before wandering off.
      While some of my grown-up, more competative Sims (Lilith Vatore) like a long game and would relish the chance to chat while they crush their opponents into the lanes.

      I'm unpopular. My post about the bowling update got only one reply, yet this one posted hours later already has 15.

      I'm happy about the update too. Bowling will be a lot more interesting now.

      I never thought of using this top as a swimsuit. I love it even more now. Thanks!

      So, I sent my Sims bowling last night, and chose an option, but they couldn't bowl.
      The waved their arms and made the "I'm sorry, I can't go there" noise, and had a bowling lane in their speech balloon. The bowling team next to them wasn't bowling either.
      Anybody else have this happen?

      Yes, I'm so happy they did this! Bowling was so pointless and long before. Now I'm looking forward to taking my sims bowling again! I'll probably build a new bowling alley too. It also shows that the developers are trying to learn and make up for their mistakes. Hopefully, they'll fix other mistakes in other packs too.

      Now I'll get it when there is a sale.

      I wish horseshoes and darts increased social too though...

      Wait, they did?

      I haven't sent my sims to bowl in a long time. Must have missed that in patch notes :o That's amazing!

      Bowling was broke after the Seasons Patch but the recent Emergency Patch fixed it even though it wasn't listed in the patch notes.

      Finally my Sims can bowl in the nude and talk at the same time. Naked bowling while socializing is going to be the best experience ever.

      Do they still keep their bowling shoes on? Inquiring minds want to know!
