That was ridiculous… I think they changed the day of the “great announcement” and put anything in its place for today (in the case, this “great” new store item). Better if they had put nothing.
sigh, I wish EA would get it over with and announce the freaking expansion…
…incredible. Just incredible.
I am so glad I don’t work for the Sims marketing team. I would be so embarrassed to be part of that clown-house.
YOU HAVE GOT TO BE KIDDING ME!!!!!!
They think we’re going to start jumping for joy over the prospect of a Store Set?!?!
They really think we are that stupid? Yes – they really do!!
They no full well that people will full for it and they are sitting their laughing at all the ones who buy this!
They know people will jump to their defence (oh how they laugh when they do), and just sit there counting their money!
If this how Surprise thing just turns out to be a load of store content and/or similar then The Sims Franchise is as good as dead…
They are churning out over priced, bug ridden, feature lacking games, without any of the things in them that the fans want.
I’m so disappoint I was waiting all week for this announcement and we get nothing . Just more crapping stuff from the the Sims 3 store that no one is going to buy because their are website where you can get custom content for free. Ea they are out of control the one thing that we want them to do they cant do it they are really ridiculous it’s been 6 months since late night they owe to announcement the new expansion pack after all we are the ones that spend our money on these sims games
i was hoping that the first secret surprise would be that they were closing the store cause no-one want to but this crap >:((
Do ya know what could be REALLY a surprise? “Hey, everyone! Store is down! You can get all the itens free! We have no more Store!”. Or releasing the new expansions! Not this “great” pathetic announce.
I am getting really tired of people telling me we should not be unfair to EA or that we should be grateful for all the afford they are putting in creating the store items.
EA is not a a little kid who drew an ugly picture for me and now I have to be tactful or it might cry!
EA is a company that should listen to the wishes and complaints of its customers.
Instead they keep putting resources and money in developing overpriced store items that don’t bring any new gameplay and which most of us can’t afford (or don’t want to waste their money on).
EA could shut down The Sims as it is not doing as well as it used to. Before anything with ‘The Sims’ on it sold by the million, but no more.
The latest console/handheld versions have got slammed by critics. The last Stuff Pack was ripped apart as well.
The Sims Medieval is being criticised badly now, and The SIms 3 is still full of bad bugs.
Then there is The Store which is garnering a lot of negative press for EA….
All this will be eating away at their profits ans EA doesn’t put up with that for long before closing the doors on a Franchise…
If they really want to rekindle the Franchise and massively boost sales, then they should
1) Announce a Weather & Pets Expansion(s)
2) Close the Store and bring out a bumper The Store Stuff Pack for around £19.99
3) Fix 90% of the bugs in the game
4) Pay more attention to what the fans actually want AND give it to them…
@TickleOnTheTurn Amen!
Oh please, EA, just stop! You’re getting worse!
No design sense, no shame… so lame!
I like the new sets. I enjoy a nice kitchen set, and baby stuff isn’t bad at all.
Someone should remind EA that it isn’t April 1st yet.
Put a bow on it, yeah, they’ll like it, lol. Who’s designing for them? Peggy? The hairstyles are bad enough.
Because my sims would actually live there, or wear that! Yah right.
LMAO this was the BIG ANNOUNCEMENT? HAHAHA
I’m so angry… What happened to our favourite game? I miss it so much 🙁 All these expansions make some excitement but when they come out you play a little and you see tons of bugs and lack of features, interactions etc. Everything is just fucked up… We should do something!
BORING!
A HUGE disappointment, as always!! Such bull, I’m getting extremely sick of EA! We want pets/season!! Fall to our demand, we control you!! Lol! No but really, so disappointing!
Are you having a laugh? What crap… EA please just announce Generations.
Super Secret FAIL! EA I am SO ANGRY!!!!
If only Will Wright was a billionaire and had interest in The Sims, Sim City and Spore and bought them back from EA. One can dream right?
EA would never part with their money making franchise. Thing is, The Sims has franchise power, so releasing this, people will buy it! So EA continues to do it. Hence why the games are now so poor, I am dreading Sims 4, Sims 3 has been a killjoy for me and many people.
April 5th will be Generations probably, but ugh… a store set, really? I really wish I worked at EA and could give them a bit of my mind, it’s PATHETIC. I seriously can rant for AGES about their faults.
Totally. They should make and promoting new worlds. Collector’s Store will give them more money for promoting new expansions.
Sims 2 Seasons is best selling expansion ever. But they need to hurry with Seasons because Fans not them.
The Sims Team is surviving by Collectors (I am one of them), because they will buy a game anyway.
Generations is good and they should announce forth expansion fast. Unleashed is very big fail without Seasons.
Stuffs should have so much objects and clothes like stuffs from Sims 2.
added pic of the second new set
Oh boy, surprise time! Can’t wait to see what EA have got pla–oh.
…Oh. OK EA, you have fun over there. 😛
third set added
I think they did well with Medieval! I for one agree that this is the best one yet, get rid of Sims 3 and keep medieval going!
Ugh! barf. this looks like stuff already at the store.. i dont even have simpoints…yawn. im thinking EA got some whip-lash from this dumb announcement, although they probably didnt notice.. too bad they are wasting this games potential… i think sales are dropping too. oh and damn all the bugs- the fast lane scooter keeps making driving sounds even when paused.and the agent calling! arg! the problem where you cant not be famous is also terrible!
…define “surprise” and BIG….
sigh….they are just trying to make the fans’ hope vaporize….
when they say they have a surprise its always a stupid store set. some of us can’t even afford those sets or anything form the store.
If it was really a surprise they would’ve announces an EP and give us the $10 worth of simpoints back. I bet on the 5th it will just be another stupid store set
Has anyone thought on the date? It’s 1st April, guys! They will publish probbably the next expansion pack, but for now it’s all about making fans nervous and waiting for the announcement.
This is one of the many reasons I haven’t gotten The Sims 3. I’m quite fine with Sims 1 and 2.
Medieval is the most boring game I have ever played. It tells you exactly what to do and then you do it. Over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over
and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and
over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over
again.
So yeah, great game!
are those melted snow i just saw outside the windows of the first pic?
Yess more overpriced store stuff, what a great surprise -__-“
EA… Sc**w u!! I don’t care a f**k about the store or whatever!! I only WOULD like to know about TS3 and exps of TS3!!
