Petition for EA to release the "Create-A-World -- BETA" tool on the Mac platform.
Return to top
Comments
That makes two of us Raynor_EX. I initially defended EA's use of Cider on the grounds that it should've put an end to missing EPs, SPs, and add-on tools, but here we are, missing a major add-on tool, beta or otherwise. I hate to admit it, but I feel like I'm being ripped off here. I still don't see a valid reason as to why EA can't drop CAW--BETA into Cider for Mac users.
Finally, Create-A-World--BETA comes out for the PC tomorrow; I encourage people to continue signing this, so that EA employees (such as the SimGurus) will hopefully see it and pass our request along to the appropriate people. EA is supposedly looking for feedback on the Create-A-World--BETA tool as they continue to improve it, and I think we're giving them some of the most constructive criticism possible in this thread, which is that they need to come up with a Mac version. Remember, if you can, contact Mac and/or Technology blogs about this (e.g. TUAW,) and use the "Tip Us" feature so we can try and get this issue some press, if you use Twitter, FaceBook, or a similar site, it wouldn't hurt to add some information there as well. What's more, I would really like it if this was going strong tomorrow when CAW--BETA is released for the PC; the more attention this issue gets, the more likely EA is to resolve it. It would be really nice if we could get some new signatures on the day that the CAW--Beta tool is released for the PC. I really feel like EA is ignoring us, and I'm not happy about that at all. On the positive side, this thread has 1,398 views, so at least we know that it's getting some attention. Again, thank you everyone for your support, and please continue to keep this thread alive, and to show EA that we want a CAW--Beta tool as well.
It's actually quite ridiculous.
We paid the same amount for The Sims 3.
We paid the same amount for The Sims 3 World Adventures.
We paid the same amount for any The Sims Store credits.
Why should we pay as much but only get half the features Windows computers do?
Although, working with this tool on Parallels might not be entirely bad, but then again, I couldn't ever imagine playing The Sims 3 on Parallels, so it would be a great convenience to me if it was made for the Mac.
Maybe this is the whole reason it is taking so long for the Create-a-World tool to come out.
I am very frustrated with EA's lack of attention to Mac users.
If EA is "quietly" holding back Create-A-World--BETA until they can release a Mac version, that would obviously be great news, but until I hear "official confirmation" from EA, I wouldn't hold my breath.
Also, here's the relevant quote from Wikipedia; you can check their TS3 page yourself to see the current version of the article.
In any case, we should assume EA has changed anything unless we hear directly from them, but I figured this was worth posting for the purpose of discussion. The "18" refers to the Gamespot citation; I didn't feel like ripping it out of here. The Wikipedia page was edited today.
we were first, and still are!

I recently transitioned from PC to Mac. I have bought every Sims game, expansion and stuff pack known to man since the Sims was initially released. I spend a lot of money in the Sims 3 Store. I will continue to do so as long as the game remains truly cross-platform. A later release of the Mac version would be acceptable (but still a bit frustrating). Never having access to this tool as a Mac user would make me seriously reconsider supporting EA in the future. It is bad enough that Mac users experience sub-standard support. We muddle through by helping each other out in the forums. But denying us some of the best features of the game would be criminal.
