    Yeah.
    Especially now I've looked around custom content, and have a vague idea of how careers are added, seems a long time.
    Even considering the testing and all.

    Does anyone have any recent news on how this week is looking, in terms of a patch?

    The 16th seems to be the most promising lead.

    Ok people, I am so sick of several misconceptions.

    1. I was the one that tipped both SimsCommunity and SimsVIP regarding the Amazon information BECAUSE I found it on the sites, hell, SimsVip joked that she applauded me for using these forums since they are so toxic. Which, I do admit is bit in need of proper maintenance.

    2. Remember, that after all is said and done, Maxis is a BUSINESS and a COMPANY, not a Holy Grail, they have budget, they have limits to what they can do.

    3. Reason why Maxis is quiet about release date, because as SimGuruChick said, they test the game up until few days before the launch (including patches), she mentioned that if there is a game-breaking bug, and it is isn't as a easy to fix, then they have no other choice but to delay it, while they do their best to avoid these, they just happen, the game is NOT as bugged as it could've been.

    Use bit of logic and think of "what makes sense".

    To me as much as I hate having to wait another week, It makes sense since it is closer to Christmas which is closer to.. well. Christmas shopping. regardless.

    They need to make money, and while EA's way of making moeny isn't the most popualr, Maxis still needs budget to continue making games.

    Sorry, just had to voice that.

    They are people who have limits, they aren't gods.. they are just like us.

    And the reason why these forums aren't as populars, probably because there's so much inconstructive and negative hate here that doesn't help the devs make the game better.

    And believe me, what makes more sense, invest money in maintating forums or investing money in making the game better?

    Pretty sure people ended up complaining that we still got pools, ghosts and careers for FREE, which, regardless of their agenda (even if it was to save face) they still decided, we should give them for free.. They cold've just screwed us over and say "pay $5 for ghosts, pools etc."

    Be glad for what you have. The game isn't continuation of Sims 3 the same way as Sims 3 isnt' a continuation of Sims 2, the same way as Sims 2 isn't a continution of Sims 1, it's a brand new game.

    Sims is more complex that most games, and it takes a lot of work, and I am just sick of people just attacking the game.

    I get that people are unhappy with this game but complaining wno't help you. Giving gurus constructive criticism is how you get your point across.

    Just saying.

    Amazon has "leaked" that the possible date is 16th of Decemember.

    Other than a sneak peek of few unlockables (by one of the gurus on Twitter) there is no official word from the actual gurus.

    Thanks for the confirmation Chick :3

    Do you think this patch will fix the lag and crashing people have been having since the pools?

    Hi everyone

    Just wanted to confirm that the December Update, featuring two new Careers, will not be coming this week. Good news is that I can confirm that we are planning to bring it to you next week. We won't be able to confirm the exact day until we have finished final testing this week.
    Thank you SimGuruBChick

    Get ready for new bugs.
    I'm kidding, but yes! Before Christmas.
    Hope it's more than "two" careers.

    Lawd knows I need gnomes that don't do anything.

    Hopefully this patch keeps me busy until we get EP news.

    Good to know although the fact that we don't have a specific date next week means that nothing is set in stone. I wont hold my breath.

    It would be awesome if these new careers were open just like ambitions. Daily tasks to level up, in the office building or gym.

    Christmas sweaters make everything better. I just hope that sims don't randomly start wearing them after christmas...
