Moved to the Into the Future board so that people can easier see these while browsing the board. I should have done it this way from the beginning 

Working on Bot Making and will try to publish that or Advanced Tech skill today.

[Carl]

Added Bot Making to the list.

Wow Carl ! Super fast work,thank you

[Carl]

Glad to help the community, thanks for the acknowledgment I do try to hurry on them to get info out as fast as possible and with this release it did cost me a bit of backtracking. Plumbots are on the Guide now, but I'll need to go back tomorrow and add some Bot Arena stuff, which I completely left out... Oops! It's time for some Breaking Bad and a little relaxation  Also, there WILL be a full list of Trait Chips on its own page tomorrow. I couldn't decide between the skill or bot page, so ultimately decided to give it its own, but already have a lot of information and the images so it'll go quickly when I get rolling.

[Carl]

Trait Chips are done. I'm glad to have that released as it goes with Bot Making and the Plumbots guide itself to help inform people on all they need to know about those two new features. I'll be on to Advanced Tech and update the Bot Making page for Bot Arena stuff soon enough. I realize there's not a lot to that, but I haven't got the notes and will gather the information tomorrow or so. Gotta take Sunday off to watch the Cleveland Browns hopefully win and get some relaxation away from the PC.

You are my hero Carl. I would be lost without your guides. Thank you.

[Carl]

I'm glad people are enjoying my work and it encourages me to keep it up, but I'll slow on updates a bit to take a day away from the PC soon. I'm glad to  have got Advanced Technology done and will be happy to hear of any fixes I can make, particularly in major objects that can increase the skill (if I missed any).

[Carl]

Nanites are up. Nothing too special, but we want the Guide to be complete, right? I did take the time to take pictures of each type of Nanite for the list to make it prettier than other Collecting Guides. This is the kind of quality I'm expecting of myself when I start Sims 4 out of the gate. I had never covered such a game, but will be more careful about making sure that every little aspect is there. When I get to Sims 4, it is going to be a MUCH better Guide than what we have here. In a way, going back to update every little thing like the Butterflies page is too much work so I'll neglect those things and let them go at this point. I myself am thinking about the Future and already proud of the attention the Guide receives. Comments has allowed people to fill in holes of information, which makes the Guide even better than it would be otherwise.

Will you be setting up links to Into The Future guides on the homepage (http://www.carls-sims-3-guide.com/) when you are done?  I usually like to go to Expansion Guides and from the dropdown list choose what I am looking for.

[Carl]

Thanks for asking. Yeah, I'll make a gateway/summary of features for Into the Future very soon (before the weekend). For now, I'm just putting those links at the top of the homepage and in the news. When the ItF gateway is done I'll link all the EP pages together so people can jump from one to the next (which is what I think you mean). For now the news to the top right should let them bounce around to new content easily enough.

[Carl]

Into the Future Expansion Pack Features Guide is now up. I couldn't be happier to have it out because it's so necessary for completion and helps people get a full summary with links to other Guides. I'm tired at the moment but will tie them all together with a link table tomorrow and also get a shot of the Voltron Gnome to throw in there because there's no good section to put him in within the document.

[Luanne]

Thank you Carl, you are a awesome gamer.

[Nutella]

Thank you Carl, amazing job.

You guys are great for posting here and make me smile. I am taking a day off to just chill and get away from the PC to watch some Breaking Bad and then get back to work late Saturday, when I'll put out a guide to altering timelines and then legacy statues. There are so many updates to do because of older EPs that didn't get 100% coverage that I'm a little strung out but determined to 'finalize' the Guide soon.

I just put in the code on all 7 ItF pages to tie them together and will watch comments for notes to improve the Guide. If you don't have the EP (stuff packs or simpoints too) and are going to buy it or any other game from Origin, please use a link on the Guide to go there as it will help to cover server costs without taking anything extra from your wallet.
