Sims 3 Store: Customize Your Game (by spending more money on virtual content for a game that you already paid for, that was purposely underdeveloped so EA could sell extra content back to customers for a hefty price…whee)
i know right? I mean, if you buy 50 hairstyles you spend 50 bucks which is more than an EP which has at least 10 times more content than that…. its just stupid. Plus all of the new content in the EPs are better than anything at the store…. darn EA, make money by actually making something good instead of overpricing cheap items!
Why spend this money on advertising when you could be using it to allow lower prices on the store!?
I think this is because not many people use the store – they are trying to promote it. They don’t understand that if it was cheaper more people would use it anyway!
At least the music sounded slightly better then the Outdoor living ad…. More simish, at least…..
And now they try to sell us a building… like other said with content from the ‘base game’…. come on EA! Are we just cows for you?!? Before trying to make some ‘houses’ to sell with an outrageous price, and i’m not talking about the price of sets from the Store which are outrageous too, maybe you should focus on the bugs from the game !!! And the EP’s and SP’s should be developped more in depth…
I’m a huge fan since the beginning, but now enough is enough ! I’m not sure I’ll continue…
This is the final straw! The Sims 3 is coming off of our machine and no more packs bought until they fix ALL the main bugs and stop pushing the store down out throats.
They are treating us all like we are idiots, and we’ve let them! They think “Oh lets make another 10 sets for the store instead of fixing the bugs, the fans all fall for that because they’re stupid!”.. and what do we do? We fall for it! Well no more I say!
Really EA? This is becoming outrageous. I remember defending you on the forums when people were waiting for the next ep to be announced. I was saying “give them time there probably fixing bugs which we want them to do!” but I guess not. You have time to put together a video, advertise, set steep prices, and update the store every week. Its not fair. We bought the sims 3, for the amazing new objects, graphics, seamless neighborhood, and just the amazingness you showed us. But with all these bugs on these eps, its hard to enjoy. Fix your game, and drop the store.
It doesn’t even look good.. but you guys must also understand that there are seperate departments. Not all people specialize on bugs. I’d give them a bit more credit then you guys give them… I’m sure the next patch will include A LOT of bugs to be fixed, because that last patch AND that last SP was utter shit.
Specially in Barnacle Bay where I find myself change almost every community lot. I haven’t seen this particular one in action, but from the looks of it in the video, it doesn’t seem that bad.
I’m pretty positive the next EP will bring weather and cloud shadows just like on the Medieval trailers…

-____- sick of this bullshit.

I cannot believe this B.S….
They have time to make such video but not fixe the damn bugs…..

You know what amazes me? That stuff for the game costs as much as the actual game. WTF is up with that?
What the hell? Are they serious? We’re waiting for the new ep info and they’re making this shit to milk more money… This is redicious.
Like I said on the Sims 3 FB page :
