Given how many people in the community subscribe to pay sites, make 'donations' for items  and otherwise pay for user created custom content (that does not contain interactions; it's just stuff) I predict these packs will be a smashing success unfortunately. Also the profit margin on them is much higher than with expansions and base games. It obviously takes them a lot less time and effort to do, yet their charging over half the price of an expansion and a little less than half the price of the full game yet you get far less than half the content of an expansion or full game. |

Looks pretty fictitious to me. I point out its COMPLETE LACK OF VERIFIABLE EXISTENCE. It isn't even available on the EA store! All they have is a vaporware advertisement. IT DOES NOT EXIST.
I dont know where you get that from. The ad for this came with OFB, plus this IS on the EA site. I wish it wasnt real, but sadly it looks like it is. Pescado thinks everything is fictitious. He probably thinks existance is fictitious.  |

Don't take away my hope please I want it to be a disaster!!  |

Only thing useful about this kinds of things is that it allows for new meshes to make new clothes on. A new hairstyle or two would be nice. It still seems very silly.

Yes, but in order to use any recolors of those meshes you'll need the pack, and there's the rub. |

Yeah I know.  There had better be a big hook they haven't revealed yet, otherwise I'm gonna let this one pass. |

Pescado thinks everything is fictitious. He probably thinks existance is fictitious. He probably looks in the mirror each morning and says to his reflection 'I don't believe in you'  Thats if he has a reflection.... |

At least I don't have to be restrained, chances of this coming over to the mac are 1 in 1,000,000.  |

$20 is a bit steep, although I might be persuaded to spend it for this:  |

What do you think these crowns are, accessories or attached to the hair?  |

They finally figured out that DrPixel made some meshes to do these things, and are using them... Bet you can find them under glasses when the pack hits the shelves.... |

I just watched the teaser video, and I think they're trying to hypnotise people into buying it. Ack! My eyes!

It would be cool if we could get a tree swing like in the original sims console game. That would fit a family theme. But I doubt they would have thought of it.

Speaking of which is it just me or is there a lot of stuff in OFB that's blatantly ripped off from the custom content community? |

I noticed that too, Motoki. With some things it's an improvement over the custom content, but overall what I've noticed has made me want to tell them to stop being so damned lazy and actually give us NEW things. Look at the custom content community to see what people want, sure, but then take it in a different direction so we're not duplicating what we already have. Stupid Maxis. |

Hmm, welcome mats, elevators, hanging hand towels, smaller versions of the big honking dressers. Gee, haven't seen those before. |

I won't pay $20 for this thing, or even $5. Not until they fix my loading screen.
That isn't to say though that I won't get it....

I was glad for them because they fit better.
Same with the rugs and bathmats, they work without your simmie's footsies passing through them.

Well, ever since I upgraded my video card to a Geforce 6200 the loading screen has been lagging more and it's not near as smooth as it used to be. It's really noticable in the videos, they're unwatchable in their current state.

Try doing this to rid rid of the intro movie and ea logo: http://modthesims2.com/article.php?t=92314It won't help the loading screen, but at least you will get right to it instead of having to wait. |
