Forgive my fangirl-like excitment, but this expansion pack looks like it's going to be a blast! Really looking forward for more info. on this. Like where exactly will our Sim's businesses be located? Link: http://thesims2.ea.com/about/ep3_videos.php |

It seems to be very good expansion. I think I'll take the risk and order it...  . |

I see at least five new hairstyles in that video, not to mention all the other goodies. Definitely getting. My main neighbourhood is on hold because of it, actually - I have two Teens who aren't going to Uni until OFB is installed. And the bugs... well, something has to keep me entertained  |

Well, as usual, I will not get it until it has been awesome-ised. However, there are 2 reasons to get it, that I can see from the video: the gnoming bench seems to be back (in some form), and it might make fortune sims more interesting.

I'm slightly skeptical of the viability of businesses like the salon....who, exactly, is your customer base? Not your sims, I hope! They probably look exactly like you want them to look!
I also notice that this newest promotional shot features a lack of sims being mean and nasty, unlike the first one. I do not approve.

Looks like Sims, Townies, Dormies, Downtownies and probably two new pools of Workers and Shoppers, bumping the average fresh-start neighbourhood to 500 sims before any playables are made. Yay. Still, the salon should be useful for the latter five. Does anyone know how exactly the shops are meant to work? Are they residential, or community, or some new lot type? |

aah! looks like the robot maid is back, so excellent, i really missed it!  as for who will be the customers of the salon, perhaps there will be new haircuts available only for the salon business so we'll have to send our sims to get them. just a thought.  |

I'm hoping for a possible residential/community combo, as well as just plain community, so it can really become a family business. Plus, no travel/lot change lag! And those elevators looked positively swish. |

Oh dear. I know better than to get all excited about anything EA produces but... I'm excited! Robots! I think I may need a better computer for it, though. My poor laptop is having more and more trouble with each expansion. |

I hope there will be estate agencies and immigration centres so we can choose which Townies we want in which town, and which ones to simply deport never to be seen again |

Wow, that looks awesome. OFB looks good. I wonder how much it will change though. If it adds another area like Uni and NL...gah, I hate switching between areas.

It's the first EP I'm actually going to buy - assuming the specs aren't too high for my PC. Any info on that yet?

Sick of Bluewater? Try Sedona or Meadow Lawns instead. Meadow Lawns is a whole neighbourhood built to explore OFB. Sedona is a sub'hood you can install as a permanent alternative to Bluewater - it's an "out of this world" experience! www.moreawesomethanyou.com/cwykes |

If OFB adds another area I will scream... but only if it is somehow required for the businesses to work. If not, I simply won't add it! I refuse to bugger up my nice custom areas with a few hundred townies I don't want when I can make better ones myself.

You always have the best ideas! I still wonder about which "magical creature" we could get wit this EP? I'm giggling like a school girl about this too! It seems so much fun. And I'm glad that the kids are more involved in this EP too... 12th of January Tim leTourneau will have a presentation at Brussels and the lucky ones who get chosen to go will be able to play the game themselves! I didn't even apply yet and I'm already making up excuses to no go to work!!! |

Given that the first two EP's brought us Zombies and Vampires, respectively, the next logical creature would be a Tax Collector. |

I want to see the system requirements first, which Maxis seems to have conveniently forgotten to post anywhere on the BSB (oops, I meant BBS).

Snooty has indicated that he/she(?) has received an invitation and is going, so you could check that site to see what info is given out. Inge - I know you're not taking requests, but maybe after the school and prison, you could do an immigration office. |

I feel like an excited N00b.... REALLY looking forward to this expansion pack! Unlike everyone else who wants PETS PETS PETS PETS (and I really don't, taking care of our golden retriever puppy IRL is enough work for me) this EP is something that really appeals to me. But I now I HAVE to get it anyway I'll need to update the Sims2DB database! |

I WAS looking forward to it, now I am not: From what the latest news says it seems that the businesses will all be home based, nothing more. I like that option, it's is nice to have, but I want a community lot that I can live on and run a business in my downtown area--like in RL, live upstairs, work downstairs. I want to be able to play a sim and take them down to the bakry (for example) and their they will see the Breads Family hard at work, or play the Breads hard at work. And if I can't have a 'run your own business' downtown, then I don't want the damn EP. It'd just make me have to update all my hacks, etc. I say: Fooey on it! Fooey on Maxis! At least until they give us some indication that businesses will run just like community lots. |

Nah, that ep is not for me. I am gonna pass on that one never sounded excited and even by seeing the video it did not made me change my mind. I only see tons of possible bugs in that one.
