Wait a minute... I'm confused now. Is this topic combined with something or from one minute to the other extremely populair? Yesterday it has only 3 replies (including mine), and now we are on page 12 already? That is just insanely fast! :O

I'm going to combine my single desire and Carl's big wish into one revolutionary idea: a hot tub in the shape of an electric guitar.

Solid gold.

You could go one step further. Remember Disco Stu from The Simpsons? Get your Sims a pair of his platform shoes and add your own fish!
Grr Argh!

Haha, I remember him. The Simpsons is really cool. And I love the series. When a saxophone and skateboard will be added to the game I can finally remake the Simpsons intro in the Sims 3.

Here's what I think EA are going to release as future expansion packs:

  • A nightlife/hot date combined expansion pack. So you get more sims wandering about at night time. And a shop-style bar where you will have a sim serving drink (like buying food in WA). Also more romantic interactions. Plus I think they would also combine this with more musical instruments.
  • An outdoors expansion pack. So it would have pets and seasons, expanded gardening - so maybe farms I'm thinking. Plus more animals in it than just the cats/dogs and non-interactive birds, etc. I really really hope they do this one as I loved unleashed and want pets back.

To me it seems like EA are combining all the best things out of sims1 and 2, however doing it in a different order and way. So WA was vacations and holiday however they added a sims3 twist with all the tomb raiding, etc.

What I would also like to see is a Magic expansion pack (I loved that one). I especially like the spells and baking part of it. A bit like nectar, you mixed a few things together and see what comes out. So far sims3 only has transifguration and nectar as a bit of an unknown lets-see-what-we-get-if-I-do this interaction.

Some personal peeves with sims3 - the action queue! I can't stand it when one of my sims starts an action that I wanted them to do, but you can't queue anything up afterwards as that action will be deleted. Also would love to be able to change the queue order.
The pathing issues still irritate me, especially when there is tons of room for them to move around. I find this happens especially in the toddlers room when they leave their toys around. I'm like, what are you doing, there's tons of room to walk around that rabbit!

See I had exams when  Makin' Magic came out so I never really got into that properly; and I never bought the Apartment Life EP for TS2 so I've never played as the witches from that. If they are going to do a greatest hits version of the EPs from previous games, then I hope they won't leave that 'til last because it really would be something shiny and new to me.

And I agree with the pathing issues. One of my Sims threw a tantrum because they thought a xylophone was blocking the way to the crib so they put my poor, tired, grumpy toddler down on the floor. Which I didn't think was very nice. I had to go into build mode to lengthen the room so my Sim would stop having a tantrum.
Grr Argh!

Those xylophones and pegboxes get bugged sometimes, too.  Many times my toddler can't get to it and I have to delete it and buy another one.

Yet the weird thing is, once I had it in front of the crib and forgot I put it there (the xylophone) and my Sim mom just stepped over it and put the child in the crib, (yes it was directly in front of the crib).
