I know exactly how you feel! I was extremely disappointed that Daniel and his sister Jennifer weren't included in TS3, and I always wanted them included. I would've been the happiest little girl in the whole world if the Altos, The Bunch's and the Landgraabs were sacrificed to make room for their younger selves. I always hated Mary Sue for some reason though, LOL! I hope at least Jeff, Diane, and Jennifer make an appearance.

SimCookie have some screenshots from the livechat! The new rabbitholes look gorgeous.

So the pricing appears to be the same as for Lucky Palms.

My favourite items have to be the sauna and massage table, both look like fun and I like how you can try for a boy or girl with the sauna and increase your chances of twins or triplets with the massage table. Making steamed vegetables is awesome too.I like how many different kinds of massages you can do too. The wedding arch is beautiful, so are the new outdoor and indoor flowers/bushes, the lamps/lights and the starfish, I could make such a pretty garden with those!  I like the idea of the spa shelf, aquarium and outdoor shower too. One of the ladies hairstyles and that new swimsuit/dress thing is really nice as well.

I would have to go gold for this but I won't be able to afford this for a few months yet but it's on my list.

I love the look of this in general, and can't wait to be able to swim places!  But the massage table option put me over the edge.  I've been wishing for one for awhile,  so this is great!

(and I was pleased enough about it to make my first post, after lurking here for weeks!)

I saw this :"Sims3Promo_sale_3700_SunlitTides" in the in-game store. I clicked on it but it went to an error page.

SimGuruSarah said on her twitter feed that Sunlit Tides won't go on sale until today at 10 am PST which is normal posting time for the store.  I wouldn't expect to get it before then and I definitely would expect the site to have major issues at that time of day.
