So Tyrone Jones just became a hit movie composer.

What's weird is, I was hoping there'd be a rapper career when I made this character (HUGE black dude). But now he's a symphonic artist. What a weird turn of events.

Thinking of getting the Age Freeze potion if I can earn enough reward points before I hit the bucket. Lets see.

Edit: Yep, got the Age Freeze potion. Maxed out my logic as well and now Tyrone's earning $500 an hour if I remember right. Got his own limo to take him places and sh*t. High roller lol.

Wanna try out the dusty lamp next. I'm curious if its similar to the VERY unpredictable lamp in Sims 1.

Sorry for the double post, but EA just announced the Sims 3 seasons to be in full development:



Official Description:

QUOTE

he Sims 3 Seasons Expansion Pack offers Sims the chance to experience dynamic weather and new activities associated with the changes in climate. Sims can finally swim in the ocean and use diving boards in the summer, participate in sports such as soccer, set off fireworks, carve pumpkins and build igloos. Annual Festivals for Each Season There's a dance and a kissing booth in the spring, face-painting during a summer festival, and a fall festival where Sims can bob for apples and pick pumpkins. As fall changes to winter, Sims will be able to bundle up and engage each other in snowball fights during the annual winter festival, or test their snowboarding skills on a half-pipe. New Items As with other expansions, a number of new foods, clothing options, and décor items are available. Sims can prepare for fun in the sun by getting a tan in a tanning booth, don a wetsuit before heading out to the ocean, sneak a smooch under the mistletoe, use raincoats and umbrellas to catch a reprieve from the rain, and trudge through the snow with snowsuits and boots. New Halloween costumes are included as well, and Sims will be able to personalize their homes with new lights and themed decorations. The Truth is Out There Sims will also be affected by the weather in different ways. It's possible for Sims to catch a cold, get an uneven tan from the sun, or even be struck by lightning during a storm. In addition to the festivals and dynamic weather, The Sims 3 Seasons Expansion Pack will introduce alien visitors that will appear in UFOs. Take the time to befriend an extra-terrestrial, and you'll be able to use its UFO to abduct a neighbor or two, take a trip across the cosmos, or invade a community lot. Limited Edition Details The Sims 3 Seasons will be available in two versions: a limited edition and standard edition. Those who pre-order the game before its November release date will automatically receive the limited edition version of the game, which offers additional items as part of an "ice lounge." Sims can entertain their friends and neighbors with an ice bar, bar stool, and pub table, while homes can be decorated with a dining table, dining chairs, coffee table, sofa and loveseat made out of ice. Architectural elements will also be included to complete the frosty theme, ranging from an ice column and double door arch to a chandelier and wall sconce.

Coming in october. sounds ok. But im sick and tired of EA using recycled content. The sims 2 has everything the sims 3 has and more. Seasons for sims 3 is the same as seasons for sims 2. Its even bringing back UFOs and abductions. Which were already on the sims 2.

Unfortunately that's where the future is going though. It's vastly more affordable for companies, and for customers it allows us easier and quicker access to games. Besides, games will be slightly cheaper because we aren't paying for a physical object.

But due to the fact with companies making faulty consoles, and sony with there 2 console per game rule, this could pose as an issue.

Yep. EA is desperate for money lol.

Fire 1 and 2 used to scare the sh*t out of me

[cidamelo]

Well I hope the expansions are good, EA likes to give us rushed products!!
Slingaa my The Sims 1 was scary!! So many strange things used to happen to me!

[Duxfever]

These next two packs are actually loaded with content. Sure, EA is being their usual moneygrabber selves, but it's a genius marketing move. Bringing two EPs that fans have been requesting for years, all in the same timeframe.

They've been trying to get Seasons to work for years and now they finally've gotten it. You can't really call it recycled content (though I don't doubt part of it is) because it's not new. People request these things because they haven't been in this recent installation. So if GTA V had stuff people've been requesting to be in GTA IV it's recycled? Blah.

Holy crap. Those sounds creep me out. They sound like the attic theme for the Video Game "Casper" on PS1.



I was 3-5 years old when i use to play casper on ps1, and that sound scared the S*it out of me. I always hated going in that attic.

Scawy!

[Duxfever]

When I was younger I've always wanted to play the game, so when it was nighttime I would play with the speakers off or just really low The sound effects are great but holy cow they're scary as hell.

One reason why people don't like the sequels is because it missed this atmosphere, but to be honest, who would advertise something and show how depressing it is?

Looks like three tiles long (judging by the lamp and those chairs.)
