    I agree. Although the last time we saw something it was that hideous trailer.
    It's kind of sad that I have to point out that anything I say is only just my opinion and may be a different one from someone else.

    Yeah, it's pretty rabid and they can post any way they want to on that page without being banned. LOL

    That's the beauty of using social media to market video games. No filters, no mods moving unpopular topics, but I doubt they actually take comments on social media sites like twitter and facebook seriously. They still have yet to really take the concerns addressed here seriously. I imagine their marketing people just post and run, as they really can't seem to handle responding to the criticisms about this game with anything other than "no comment".

    please keep posting for those of us that avoid twit and fb. Not sure why the company itself can't post here.
    The sims 4: I give up.
    Maxis and EA have killed the sims. RIP

    They can, they just don't want to because they want us to post here. :)

    thanks CLP the song playing is very cute. and now i wonder if the bear is playable?

    Supposedly there's an NPC bear, plus a bear costume Sims can wear.

    I'm sure someone here will post the official trailer once it's released.
    ahh thanks! i hope those bees come with honey. i hated just getting chased by bees in sims 2

    That was all just speculation. Or maybe it was announced just not on here (as usual). C'Mon EA throw the official forums a bone.

    Not surprising. I guess people are starting to get fed up but there's still quite a bit of people there that are intolerant for any criticism towards the game.

    People are become more fedup because they are realizing that the marketing sucks. We cant get a clear answer on anything. And we have this....picnic paradise, oh no Outdoor Retreat being the first paid release. When there has been a lot of outcry about other things that they should be prioritizing instead.

    I STILL think the game is alright. But I have to say, the marketing of it is just awful.

    Those FB comments confuse me. Do some people really have the mentality of being grateful for what you've got? Sure if the game was free or even just very cheap..but it's not. People have paid a lot of money for it. I can understand people getting tired of the complainers but that's an odd comment to make.

    The bathroom does indeed look very nice and fits the vibe but i'm not excited about this. I'm annoyed that many countries don't have the price of it yet, nor a release date and on top of that we don't even have a release date for a full trailer now. I'm surprised they didn't just hint to this 16 second teaser and say that it was coming sometime soon.

    @jcp011c2 I agree. The marketing is horrible. They should be selling the product, not hiding it til the last minute.

    I agree! we paid for the base game, and now this, this is the test of what their strategy is I think. This is the first paid DLC they are releasing and to me, it's not going so well. Just put out and EP and patch in toddlers and get moving on the real paid for product, EA.

    If the game wasn't so bad, I'm pretty sure people wouldn't be so fed up with all their shenanigans. I definitely agree with the prioritizing. It's all in the wrong places. I highly doubt camping was more sought after than toddlers and family trees.

    While we are talking marketing what'st he deal with the OFB images we saw amonth or two ago? Any word on that? Did they drop off the face of the earth? DOES the right hand know what the left hand is doing?

    For the enlightenment of anyone who might care, the song that is being sung is "Camptown Ladies" written by Stephen F. Foster. As far as I'm aware, it's public domain...interesting to hear it sung in Simlish.

    Marketing isn't really that much of concern for me. I'm going to accept the fact that EA just isn't very good at it. They can screw up on marketing all they want as long as they fix this game.

    Well , if you go to a reasturant and order food , you say thanks when you get the food , don't you? same principle applies.

    Yeah I wonder about that too. It was probably from the first expansion pack. It was only speculated to be a depiction of OFB though? It could be Town/City Life or simply another game pack that gives us a downtown area. I'm confident we will see that stuff in the game though, it was a mixture of concept art and what looked to be a screenshot from actual gameplay. If they have made all that for the game then they are going to use it. It had nothing to do with marketing though, those images were posted by concept artists who were probably told off. I know some of them deleted the stuff of their blogs shortly after the hype began surrounding them.
