26 INTO THE FUTURE pictures

«1
I was iffy on this theme, wondering if I would go for it, or call The Sims 3 done and enjoy not having to update the game anymore.

They got me with customizable robots and what looks like utilitarian robots. It seems like quite a few things we put in ideas and feedback is here: Hoverboards and cars, glass floors, better robots--sims can even fly. It's like all the stuff the 40's and 50's promised by the year 2000, but never arrived.

I can see using a lot of the content to flesh out Lunar Lakes or making a future forward Bridgeport. I can even give University nerds cutting edge science. I don't think this one is for everyone, but for me, I like simming in different environments and I am a sci-fi fan.

    I think this EP looks incredible! Love the new architecture, and features like the plumbots, hover stuff, monorail transportation, flying Sims, and new furnishings. And the glowy flowers! Yay! :D I wonder if that giant magnet brings down the really humongous space rocks - I hope! :mrgreen:

    Hi,
    I can totally see using this stuff! I love it! Glass floors? I didn't notice them during the trailer. I wonder if we can use them on the roof, to make skylights? That'd be neat.

    I didn't think I would like it either, when they put this idea out there, but now that I see what they put together, I'm there.

    I couldn't imagine NOT buying an ep. I know most people pick and choose, but I find that there is always something in each and every expansion that I will use almost regularly.

    Thanks for all the pictures CK! :D

    I can't wait to see what you do with this EP. This is the sort of EP I need ideas for, like I need to revisit your Supernatural story because I have still not played it. :D

    It would be funny if you could stop a giant meteor strike with that magnet in your sim's pocket. :D

    This was also me to a "T" until I watched the trailer.

    As I was watching the LB, I was thinking the same thing. So much of this was suggested by simmers in that feedback forum for this EP.

    I'm still not 100% sold, but I'm close to 99% and looking forward to more info.

    Funny, I'm not usually a huge Sci-Fi fan, but this all looks pretty darn cool to me.

    Well now we can put glass walls in basements in houseboats and hopefully see the underwater. This will work great with island paradise.

    Thanks for sharing the pics. I do like a lot of the buy and build stuff I am seeing and that is my favorite part of the Sims game.

    That would let me make the modern homes I've always wanted to make.

    Nice pics :D

    Is that grass on roofs/ indoors I see :O :D
    My favorite part is probably the glass tiles- have been missing them since I had them in Sims 2

    Thank you for sharing! The hair that the lady has in the fifth picture looks like Mrs. Jetson's hairstyle, lol. I hope that whatever she's using is like a computer, but with more features. And I hadn't even noticed until now that glass floor?? :shock:

    Thank you for sharing! I don't think there has ever been an EP in the entire sims franchise that had got me this excited! I love Sci-fi as well, and I have always tried to make my sims as futuristic as possible. Now I can actually have all the stuff I wanted for this game! Thank you so much for this EP Sims team!!!

    Plumbot not simbot. Simbots are creatures from Ambitions. This is different kind of robot sims. :)

    I like this pack.

    I just hope they put a lot of time into fixing known bugs and problems too. I also hope they put out at least one last patch to fix what this expansion will break.

    Thank you for posting these pictures!
    I love this!
    I read somewhere on the forum that EA wants to make the sims in the Sims 4 more "Disney" and cartoonish, and the hair and clothes in this EP look more cartoonish than usual - do you guys think this could be EA's way to let us get familiar with this new look?
