Well, if sales of those silly booster packs are good, they might really stop making EPS all together as booster packs are certainly easier to produce for maximum profit. Is a peeing Santa a buggy santa? I mean, I thought its Maxis' warped sense of humour at work again.  but whats this about santa watchin kids showering?  But those booster packs are very hard to protect from pirating. Anyone with a 2nd grade education can get the x-mas pack in an hour on the internets if they feel like breakign the law and risking 50k in fines and 20 years of sodomy (or whatever the FBI wants to do with you) With a CD/DVD release they can have many more sales. Although, these aren't the brightest people. I mean, you can get all th eobjects just by downloading lots that have them off the exchange. :rolleyes: |

To be honest, I am a bit surprised that the holiday pack didn't come with a serial number and requires the disc to play. Anyone have any idea why? btw, if you don't buy the holiday pack, you won't get the new behaviors such as the peeing santa , the lamb and the sparklers - which is why people buy the holiday pack. and I wonder how sales of the holiday pack are. I didn't spot any info on that. |

Simple: Because it's just a content pack which must be compatible with all expansion packs. Let's suppose it *DID* require a disk to play: How are you going to then demand the disks of the other expansion packs? If I have to insert the Holiday Pack CD, how am I going to insert my NL CD? Plus, all it does is install a .package file into your TS2 original directory, so it doesn't change executable code at all. |

INTP - I didn't do it.

I thought it did, a mac user on another site moved the package file. But only the objects showed up, no santa with a bladder the size of a ant. |

Thats a good question.
Regardless, its stupid. This thread made me load up some x-mas crap for the first time last night.
Santa came to my torture dorm (16 Dormies with no beds and no bathroom access, and one playable sim with access to a huge bedroom/spa/games room, and nouniinvuln turned on). He wandered around, pissed about 6 times, left another stereo (whihc I didn't need since all the rooms except the playable sim's bedroom have stereos blaring non-stop) and then buggered off.
The interestign thing is that the tree caught fire, out on the lawn, all the dormies ran over but my sim was happily in the hot-tub. Then my sim burst into flames and died, on the opposite side of the lot from the fire, in a hot tub....

LOL!
That's hilarious, sanmonroe.
Going back to what Pescado said about the Holiday pack...Does this mean that if you remove the .package file, It will remove all of the holiday content? Or is there anything else I should note if I decide to remove it til next holiday season?
I fear BFBVFS when toying with things I don't fully understand....

I must be cured from reading all this. I did not get the holiday pack and will not get OFB, I am not excited about this new ep at all. Can't wait to see what will be the next one though (I hope it will NOT be pets) |

I've gotta laugh but on a serious note this has happened to me before and pissed me off. Something caught fire..a sim picked up a toddler and rushed it outdoors, clear the the sidewalk...a billion feet away from the fire and suddenly just burst into flames. Yeah. |

I think this may depend on whether your sims are filled with helium or hydrogen.

Apparently there's no expansion announcement when it got Stateside either. Oh well, I guess we'll have to wait for them to announce it now.
Making the main site pay is a really good idea, It'll save them money on bandwidth costs and they'll get even more money. Even if 50% of the people on the BBS object, there's still more money to be made there. Chances are, even if they object they'll still buy the expansion and just go to MTS2 or something to get objects.
I haven't really heard that much about Sport until I read that article, and it makes TS2 look like a big pile of crap. If I can run the thing (It sounds like it'll require more CPU power than TS2, not to mention a faster graphics card) I'll definately get it. If it's gonna be how they say it is, It'll be possible to create the Zerg from Starcraft, and have them wage war against the Protoss and et cetera...

I think Spore may be an excellent game. I have been watching for over a year to see when they are going to release it. I think Will Wright may have taken his original team with him when he left Maxi to develop it.

I think it's vaporware and doesn't exist. Period.

It's not any less of vaporware than TS2 was during its initial phases. Supposedly TS2 took about 3 years to make. |

Why should they put out another Ep when they can put out a 'pack' instead. The pack takes much less time to develop and they sell it (and simmers buy it) for almost the same price as the EPs.
Stupid to make an EP, from their point of view and that's all they care about!
Play world of warcraft--much better!

Civ 4 is great, once you install the latest patch that is. I've been fancying Spore myself, and C&C: RA3 is another I'm keeping my eye out for.

I don't like Civilization 4. It always seems that when I try to be peaceful the faction next to me always attack and whenever I constantly produce military units I get behind in technology and wealth. Also, it seems that you have to make 10 million military units to take a base when attacking a computer, and they can take yours with only 2.
I wasn't even aware they were making a C&C:Red Alert 3.
