What do you think? I personally think something like Sims 2 Seasons.

Our Lives are Better Left to Chance - A Legacy
One that adds the life simulator aspect of the game back into the picture.
Whats the point in having a big, open neighborhood if the only we can do in it is fish at the park!? :P
Also the concept of Farms/Zoo seems stupid to me. There are other games where you can have farms and zoos. The Sims, I don't see the point.
Also, University was probably the EP I used the least, so I don't want that.
I want either Magic, or something completely new and different. Though I would like some more vacation destinations and places to go. The adventure-driven gameplay is nice and I enjoy it, but I'd like a place for my sims to relax without having to do tasks to stay longer.
yeah i would love a weather one but a really good point there. And yes, I agree with whats the point on having farm animals. But i did like university.and im not sure about magic :?
but we will buy it anyway be kinda disappointed and then continue begging for nightlife and seasons..
ur completely right!
I totally agree with that I hope there wont be another mission based EP for a while because I takes away from the open gameplay that is the sims
I am all about having more interactions between Sims added to the game, and more activities - ie: allow the Sims to walk in the surf, make the cars interactive (like S2), make babies and toddlers more interactive, etc. Adding in more decent items - ie: hottubs, more instruments, diving boards, pool tables. And open up the rabbit holes - it's a seamless, interactive game - make the entire thing interactive, not just 90%.
I played numerous EP's from both S1 and S2 - many of which were a blast. As has been pointed out -
1) Pets ( both versions) were lame. No pet takes that much time and needs that much coddling.
2) I never bought Seasons but from what I've read - everyone loved it IF, and yes that's a big IF, your pc could handle it.
3) University - I loved University for about 2 weeks. Probably cause it was new. After that, I didn't use it at all. Lame!
4) Nightlife - again, I loved it but it got tedious and annoying quickly. S2 was far better than the S1 version but still - annoying!
As far as the supernatural aspects in the different EP's - vampires, lycanthropes, witches, plant people, simbots, etc, etc. - seriously, these should be optional and should be able to be turned off via options if and when EA adds them to the game. I make my game as realistic as possible and having a vampire wander through is annoying.
From time to time I love playing games that add in the fantastic and supernatural and the Magic from S2 was way fun. The vampires, lycanthropes, etc - LAME!! If you're going to add supernatural creatures - make them act/ need/ want/ behave/etc - different than the Sims. They shouldn't just be Sims with different colored skins.
Again, when it comes down to it - the EP's will only amuse us for so long. The main thing that draws us to the game is playing the Sims - having them interact, build up their wealth, their family, make them succeed or fail miserably. The interactions and activities between our Sims is what counts in the end.
I mean, Business. Who wants to sit around and watch their sim do paperwork every day?
The very fact that we can see WHERE our sim disappears for half the day is an astronomical improvement on both prior sims games. I don't care that I can't see them do their mundane little tasks.
As for the grocery store/bookstore, yeah that stinks a little, but I'm fine. I'm sure eventually they'll do something about those, but as far as the job buildings, I couldn't care less.
Excellent point Erickahu! Some rabbit holes would be pointless to open up. Some, like the book store and restuarants, I would like opened. The bookstores in France, China, Egypt - all are open. . . . . why not at home?
Okay, joking - and promising myself not to answer these threads immediately after caffeinating.
Or Univeristy.
Or Apartments.
I dont think magic should be last since we didn't even get a magic ep for ts2. we got a little as a part of AL and that was towards the end. Sims 2 was still very good as a whole and had a lot of great EP's, but just imagine if your favorite EP never came back....What if they never made pets for sims 2 and just added a cat and a dog to apartment life or just added some rain to AL and you never got seasons at all?
