    I think there will be cars, and you can drive around the city in first person mode. The mini-quest that will come with the EP will be whether you can have your sim drive from one side of the city to the other quickly enough to prevent him peeing himself.

    That would be a better fit for a smaller town. Unless they're not actually going to do high-rises and density but call it a city anyway? Cities = gridlock and public transit, not driving fast anywhere.

    I live in a city with virtually no high rises. The highest 2 buildings in town/tourist area are the crumbling post-war prefab Civic Centre (council building) and a Holiday Inn. There are some 10+ storey buildings, but they are outside of the city centre and mainly residential blocks of flats.

    Pre 20th century in the UK a city was generally just the name for a town with a cathedral. It's actually by royal decree, and was usually given to cathedral towns. Plymouth (where I live) only became a city in 1928 after 3 independent towns merged into one borough in 1914.

    There have been articles in the paper recently saying we might attract more tourism and business to town with more high rises. ATM, town is made up of 2 newer malls and lots of prefab post-Blitz shops with offices/housing above them.

    I wonder if they will wait until the next quarter to officially announce it. Since it was leaked on a rating site, it must be true, right? I'm not sure how these things work lol. When does the new quarter begin, September or October?

    I thought October?

    I think, especially after the Gamescom, that the announcement and the release will be in the same month. The Forum showed them, that we Simmers looove to speculate if we have too much time and too less info xD Right now there are about 8 Threads about City Life? It already started. They still might wanna change some things. It would be amazing if the EP3 comes in September, but I think we can look forward to another Patch Update with new content and the EP3 will be released in October/November.
    Do you remember the the Poll from Backyard Stuff? The Forum clearly showed, that we like Trailers, that include Infos, more than a Gifs... Something substantial.
    And City life was not mentioned in the last Quarterly Teaser, so I think they will do one in October but pretty close to a City Life Trailer.
    I hope I'm not mistaken with the quarter... but I think they started in April o.o And did one in July.

    i hope it will also includes the option to do laundry and to add to or sims homes washers and dryers
    I thought of that too! I really miss that T_T

    October sounds about right! :) If they announce it in October we should see EP 3 sometime during the holiday season, I suppose. Maybe November or December to give them enough time to promote it. I'm really itching for a new EP, I hope it's a good one!

    Yap, but that would also mean... no real news about City Life until October v_v# That's more that one month of gossiping!
