New EP Information

[Aussie Karima]

I like the invisible friend that you can turn real,and no-one but the Sim who has the invisible friend can see it,even though it will do all the normal interactions a child will do,so you will see things move or disappear(food)or beds get messed-up from their friend sleeping in it! And their invisible friend really will be to blame when pranks are pulled! ;D ;D ;D

[Sawyer]

Yeah, that sounds pretty interesting, too!

I wonder if we get to create these invisible friends, or if they're just automatically assigned?

[jillyson]

And as a teen, you can romance them, even into adulthood? I can't wait to see that!

They're also saying Sunset Valley is getting an upgrade? I'd heard the venues in Barnacle Bay were supposed to open up once Latenight came out, but I keep forgetting to go back and see if you can enter them now. (Well, in a non-rabbit hole way, I mean)

[Sawyer]

I doubt they'll be opened up.

They're probably just going to add in another little street to put some of the generations crap on. Kind of like how we had to place the consignment shop somewhere in Sunset Valley with Ambitions, but better.

I'm doing my fairy tale from Barnacle Bay,thank you Jilly,and nothing has opened up,and there is no night clubs,so I made-over the Wanderers Watering Hole,to a working bar!(in fact i have made over all the juice bars to working sports bars!)

~ About the invisible friend,I think that is why you have the option to make him or her real,if your Sim falls in love with their invisible friend!And because we love to make our Sims happy,we would want them to be happy in love!We would make them real for our Sims happiness!
~ the option to make them,in CAS, would be a good idea,especially if they become part of the game!

[jillyson]

I was really hoping Hogan's (the one inside the pirate ship) would become useable. Bummer!
Glad you're having fun with it, Karima!

You're probably right, Sawyer.

[Aussie Karima]

Jilly!

SPOILER: Click to show

~ Funny you should mention that,I had an idea of making a new night club for Barnacle Bay,called the Barnacle,down under bar!it's the down-under that is the secret,for now,but I guess you can guess were it can be found!?

[Tina ☺]

The new hoods with these expansions actually annoying me! Additions of new hoods means having to start new games from scratch in order to play in them! I have enough trouble finding the time and the energy to play in the hood(s) I currently have, so making new, separate hoods is aggravating to me!

I'd like it better if they did it TS2-style and made them 'sub-hoods' like they started with OFB, instead of how they did it toward the end with making totally separate hoods to which your current family(s) are unable to visit.

But, I guess they do it that way to keep from increasing neighborhood populations/sizes to the point of 'blowing up' people's computers, but still.... *wistful sigh*

[Sawyer]

I think it would be much better if they added in a "Shopping District" like OFB or something like that. Or, an old town or something. I'm tired of dumping these new buildings in my very limited empty lots!

[dblondepimpett]

I got to looking at some of the videos. It looks like there will be prom added as well!

also I don't know if anyone has posted this yet but.... PETS ARE BACK!

My invisible friend told me to buy Generations...

[joandsarah]

Well tell that invisible friend to remind you to put up some pictures and a review!

I'm sure if I bought another EP my graphics would look like mud, so there will be no more for me unless i get a better computer.
