      I remember that many here had problems with the bright loading screens, so I thought I´d post this here:

      http://www.modthesims.info/download.php?t=581674

      Can´t wait to try it out myself.

      I downloaded that, works great. I use the grey screen, so much easier on the eyes.

      Just popping in while I'm hanging around for an answer from Drake on that other thread. Some of these pictures really make me want to fire up TS3 but I don't have time to game this weekend.

      Hope everybody is well.

      I think that once you have loaded TS3 you will remember why you enjoyed it in the first place.

      Feel free to pop over to the TS3 GD if you want ideas for news ways to play or maybe even share a few pics :smile:

      I'm not quite sure if she'll be in today. She's probably still traveling to LAX, and then has to go all the way back to San Fran. I would expect something later today, but there's better chances of her coming back in tomorrow.
      Just some random Simmer you probably don't even follow on the gallery! Gallery name's the same as my username! Did I just rhyme there?

      My berry, what I read here is sad, but I understand :(
      I hope things will be back to the cheerfulness I usually see in this thread soon enough and that everyone will be ok ^^

      @esharpmajor : Your "dialogue" between EA and the Fans gave me a good laugh and I liked reading it, it's so funny and accurate I think XD

      And you all shared some really pretty and cute pics, I liked them :smiley:

      Today, I played a bit and took some pics, I hope you'll enjoy them ^^

      Hey guys, I just got The Sims 2: Super Collection from the Mac App Store as a little present for myself after finishing my summer internship. It is so mind-blowing! I love it - it's so much fun! I feel so spoiled for choice with everything I can do. I started off with a hippie and her slacker husband who run a home business selling New Age trinkets; they have a teen son and a toddler daughter (who just aged up into a kid). I've never played with University before so I'm excited to send the son to University for the first time. I thought you guys might like to see the picture of the mom (Daisy) and her daughter (Breeze):

      Wow, very disappointed by Drake's comments. I understand what she's saying, and that it must be frustrating that we can't accept their lack of answers as answers... But I feel like EA is gas lighting its fans. The whole conversation between ea and the community is laughable.

      EA: There will be all life stages.
      Fans: Yay!
      Ea: Actually we ran out of time, no toddlers.
      Fans: *panicked screaming*
      EA: Don't worry, the base game is strong and we can add all the things you are asking for.
      Fans: Oh good, so you plan on adding toddlers?
      Ea: What? Since when do you guys want toddlers? No no we meant we can add pools.
      Fans: Are you kidding? Of course we want complete life stages, this is a life sim!
      EA: Is it? Are you sure?
      Fans: What?! Yes! Stop being obtuse!
      EA: Ok ok we'll let you know what we've decided.
      Fans: ...
      EA: We've decided: More stuff packs!
      Fans: Ok... What about tod-
      EA: OMG WILL YOU STOP WITH THE TODDLERS GEEZE ENOUGH ALREADY!
      FAns: But... You said you'd let us know if...
      EA: Look, we talk about toddlers every day. We'll let you know.
      Fans: everyday for 2 years and still no decision? What are you guys doing over there?
      Ea: Look, you guys have no idea what goes into making a game. Just be quiet while we work. Trust us.
      Fans: Um, ok... I guess..
      EA: Big announcement!
      Fans: Omgomg is it...?
      EA: ...a seasonal event? You guessed it!
      Fans: So... Made any progress towards...
      EA: WOW rude we made you this awesome thing you didn't ask for and yet you continue to ask for missing features. No pleasing some people.
      Fans: We CAN be pleased, just let us know if toddlers are being worked on!
      EA: *fingers in ears* IMPOSSIBLE TO PLEASE, literally no way to please them.

      Still like TS4, but I HAD to click awesome on that.

      What other thread are you talking about? Waiting for @SimGuruDrake commenting on what?

      @83bienchen Are you asking me? Not waiting on a comment, rather reacting to one. I was referring to the recent comments in the games con thread, I think sparky linked it a page or two back.

      Me reading some of the thread . Sigh You know read that Guru Drake said ."You will have to take a hard look at yourself and wonder if anything we do will ever truly make you happy" .I felt verry upset afterwards .I'm not blaming Drake, but what Ea uis doing is unprofessional.

      It's scary and laughable how true this is. You smashed it. Totally hilarious.

      Everyone already seen this video?

      <Video Reference Removed>
      @SimGuruDrake : He puts it just great and mentions you, so please look at it. Thank you.

      I can only agree with the statements of SimGuruDrake, and I don't believe that The SimGurus or EA owe the community anything more than the standard product release notes, and notification of upcoming content in any manner and duration of their choosing.

      No sane person(s) would persistently attack an organization for years with the expectation that they'll yield to the will of fanatics who behave as if they know more about product marketing, resource management, and entertainment value than corporate leaders of an international industry. It's extremely offensive that anyone has even dared to speak of the developers or the product in the manner that I've witnessed within these forums, especially while there is not a shred of valid evidence in support of the claims which have been presented as the reason for the hostility.

      Regardless of strategy, the persistent community-wide negativity is very destructive, and the losses have become visible even to me as an outsider and consumer. SimGuruDrake is absolutely correct and I'll add that those who have nothing more to do with their time than focus on their inability to accomplish anything without having what they were never promised should try viewing their own lives from a new perspective. They might then discover that bugs and supposedly missing features have little to do with the problems that they're experiencing, and they'll likely also see a new solution which does not involve loss of anyone's project.
