Me too. I don't see myself collecting all of the rewards to begin with, but it's nice to know that I can do it all with just the one person I plan to SimPort with.
I'm excited! Thanks for posting!
No problem! Though I have to credit XKidsInLoveX for telling me about it first. :P
This is exactly what I thought when I first found out.
Awesome!! My sister and I can just take turns sending our sims in and out of our games!! Thanks for posting this INFO!!

No problem! And again, a big thanks for XKidsInLoveX for providing me with the info.
Now to wait for more info in terms of "object" content... Unfortunately I only build but not as much as gameplay, but hearing interesting stories of others enjoying the game in terms of gameplay might get me into it.
"We Don't Care If You LIKE The Game, Just As Long As You BUY The Game!"
I Disapprove (Naturally)
I Took The Pledge!
See Jarsie? Simport wasn't going to be as bad as you made out!
Ps. So happy about this news, i can just complete the challenges when i feel like with a friend
I knew EA wouldn't be so stupid, 32 days left guys!
Yep, this is exactly what I want to do too!
Do you and your husband have different disks though? I'm thinking we'd each need a different base game and showtime ep disk for registration purposes & therefore be allowed into SimPort. We just share the disks (different computers, play at different times, etc). I'm out if it involves buying another set of disks
Edited: my smiley isn't showing up
Well, it's good news for people who don't like being spammed with 29347239847239 trillion requests a second from random people we don't know, be it to enter or for us to host, or a friend request on the site. There's always the people that will do anything with anyone, but this makes those who aren't like that feel more at ease.
Still not buying another disc if my fiance and I need another. If they do make it like that, it's a pretty low move.
You just made my morning.
Secondly THANK GOODNESS for that. I do have a couple friends, though none I know well enough to trust their game to be free of CC. I want to hear about how the game handles that, and how much I have to be responsible for my friends Sim, and things like that, but this is REALLY good news, and I may (maybemaybemaybe) change my mind about Superstar.
It should never have been included in the first place, but now it seems EA have realised this and are trying to back out of it as much as possible without losing face .
Even so unless you have 2 computers in your house and can simport between each other asking a friend all those times to accept your sim into their game is going to stretch the friendship to the limit.
Unless you can accept a friends sim and do 20 or 30 gigs in one go
I think the thing is you can send a request out to 2348203423804 people, but only one can accept. And then you need to repeat. And facepalm. I'm guessing it's so we don't get bored as quickly. (Lol as if that'd work.)
I think more people will be at ease and inclined to use it now that we know we can just use a trusted friend or two to complete everything.
And as Pepperbutt mentioned, I'm sure there will still be PLENTY of simmers who want to gather as many 'friends' as possible to Port with.
I personally see it as opening up more options for people, not making it 'pointless.'
But to each their own.
Yeah, that could be a problem for me, too... Hm. If that's the case, I'll just hold off until the EP or SP after Showtime comes out, then one of us can use the Showtime disc and the other can use the new EP disc. Should be able to get a decent discount on Showtime by then.
As much as it stinks, I think this will be the case also. Simply because I get the feeling that to SimPort, we will need to physically choose people from our friends list. And if EA uses our same friends list that is on our MyPages, probably only the people who have Showtime registered will show up as options to SimPort with.
Of course this is just speculation, and we can't know anything for sure until EA tells us or the game itself is released. But I think it's a pretty good bet that this is how it's going to work.
