    We have like 6 statues all together that can be considered old. But they're made of plastic, unless you CAS them. :D You should see my house, "Maison du Bourbon." I must have used each of those statues 5 times. it's painful. :roll:

    That alone makes it sound like an eyesore. x.o Sorry, but no thanks. Dear lord we need more of a variety. Like, I realized the other day it's getting harder and harder to try and make things more diverse, just because of how similar everything looks, and CAS can only do so much.

    Plastic? Srsly? I thought it had the marble thing. o_o Not plastic.

    Oh! It's a beautiful house, at least I think so, and they are all CAS'd, i'm just exclaiming how annoying it is. The first three pictures in my siggy, 3 pics after the skyline, that is, are of said house. :D

    Well duh, you made it. xD Just the thought of using all of them so often sounds so.. repetitive. Of course, sometimes there's not really another option, but still. I'm not one to talk, though, I end up sticking with furniture I like for the majority of my houses. The images in your sig look nice, though. (I don't really download off the Exchange, anyway. I don't know what might lurk there.)

    Edit: Since the first sentence might end up sounding confusing. 'Well, duh, you made it, of course you like it. xD' I don't think many people would put something up they weren't proud of.

    Yeah I'm with you on the exchange. I almost refuse to download anything. Though, if there's something that looks really good and it's made by a trusted friend, and if it's clear on custard, I'll download it. Some stuff is really good. I especially love the 10x10 houses, they really fill voids left by EA when they create worlds. :roll:

    I don't think custard runs on a Mac, so I'm screwed there. -shrugs- If a friend made something, I'd just beg and annoy them until they gave in. I enjoy 10 x 10's, but I always feel weird downloading houses. The only thing I really do with them anymore is inspect everything, and try and find new ideas. -shrugs- I hate living in pre-builts, either by someone else or the game.

    Agreed! I would have Storytelling or Decades over any of those SP's any day! I Love Sci-Fi stuff hopefully there's still a chance of that SP coming out :)

    It would be nice if they had the top two become SP's.

    Teen Stuff could be SP #7 (I would probably wait a long while to buy it)

    Decades Stuff could be SP #8 (Would definitely buy it asap)

    It also would be nice if we could get a SP for elders or at least a huge store set.

    Same here. Besides, we got a teen SP with TS2. I'd much rather have something new. People complain about remaking TS2 expansions, but SPs are okay? Bull.

    How on earth can sims have a freaking dinner party when they wont even sit at the table together and eat without bolting their food and leaving? pffft.

    I think all those ideas are awful, and if I HAD to chose one it would probably be number 5. I actually would have chosen the party / dinner party option if Sims would sit and eat together. But they don't and EA have never corrected this, so it would be a waste of time.

    Edit - Why do they bother even asking for responses to their polls, when it is quite clear they pay no attention to them? ie - Social features coming last in one of their polls, and then they go an center a whole EP around it.

    That is so true. I'm tired of putting counter islands and tabled then half of my family sitting at the counter and half of them sitting at the table. Another reason that wouldn't work is because sims can't multitask. Dinner parties would be horrible if all you did was eat with no social interaction.

    *facepalm* I can't believe the Teen Stuff is winning. That kind of stuff should all have been in GEN! So many people complained because they thought Showtime was LN 2.0, but at least there was some difference between SHT and LN. Teen Stuff really would be "Well, we wanted more money from you, but can't say that upfront, so we'll pretend we forgot and present it as a new idea" Stuff.
    [/rant]

    I just hope they are paying attention to the results of my poll, because the results of that are much different:

    Option 1: IIII/ IIII/ II - 12 - 36%

    Rant away--it's perfectly understandable. :x

    But I think I'm cool with it, actually. Go ahead and put the lame Teen stuff in an SP (aka GEN EP-throwback)--that'll just allow me to save up for the bigger purchase of an EP :thumbup: :lol:

    I voted for the party one. I'm hoping they will add lots of wedding veils as accessories, cakes (wedding and birthday), bouquets, toasting, slow dance, line dancing, being able to pick maid of honor/best man, a wedding venue, etc. There is so much they can do.

    Sadly stuff packs only add items, so there won't be any new dances or wedding interactions.

    In that case, an SP wouldn't do it for me. It's the animations that would make wedding/parties more exciting in my opinion. Although the stuff mentioned above would be great additions.

    Someone else mentioned this before, but they could probably combine a few of these packs and please more simmers.

    Yes--Storytelling and Decades should be merged into 4 themes: Hippy, Heroes, Wild West, and Sci-Fi :thumbup: Why should the teenage group be singled out for its own SP? ALL age groups should be given something, not just one, EA. :x
