A reader over at GamersNET have discovered a bug with Pets. Yes I know a lot of us have as well, but this one is interesting. According to the user (and google translate), a “pile of junk” turned into a pile of leaves and a stick. If true, this could mean that there’s code in Pets for EP 6, kinda like there was with code for Pets in Generations. Any modders out there care to see if this exist in Pets game files?
Did this really happen or could it be a mod created by someone as a joke? If real, was it a pile of trash or scrap metal that changed into it? What do you guys and gals think?
A Sims fan who played the new expansion Beestenbende, looked surprised when suddenly a pile of junk turned into a pile of leaves. It could be that during the development of Beestenbende already worked on the next enlargement and that this accidentally in the expansion Beestenbende continued stabbing. Whether EA would have done this on purpose? “Life, but in another format” would be the course of this season could mean, but really we know for sure if EA makes an official announcement.
I saw this the other day posted here: http://www.moreawesomethanyou.com/smf/index.php/topic,20836.50.html
I wouldn’t be surprised if this is a hint towards weather being the next EP. And actually, if weather isn’t the next EP, I’ll be pretty upset. The game just feels incomplete without weather.
Oh I really hope it isn’t weather. I mean weather would be nice and I wouldn’t be upset by it, but something tells me it wouldn’t me anything more than a few nice graphical effects and some clutter and clothing. In other words a glorified stuff pack.
its confirmed by russian ea that there won’t be any weather in ep6. it will bee hole new ep that is not any of the sims 2 ep
Like here, EA Russia told it would be a total different experience in next EP, something that was never in any of the Sims games… Wonder what would it be, but I can tell you one thing, they will start talking about new EP by the end of January 😀
One of our readers that this actually occurs after a dog with the hunting skill has several leaves in it’s inventory. Said that they can be piled together… I need others to confirm this so we know for sure. Either way, this is looking like an excellent Easter Egg that’s hinting at weather for EP 6… or at least it is to me. 🙂
I dont believe in Russian EA, I belive in this easter egg, but it’s another strange thing, in Appalosa Town, in the lake who have a waterfall, inside a old tree we can see strange sparklings, I dont know if this is a easter egg but..
Ahh uesy Master Suite SP, wonder what could it be about… You said the clothes are fall/winter, very similar ones were offered in Store (and I haven’t seen the thing with the unicorn, must check it out), one more thing. Just like I said before about EA Russian talking about sth new, you think they’re lying…?
Stop!!!
looks like any of you simmers have ever clean something or pick up some thrash…that picture its true happens since base game…that happen when tell your sim to pick up some thrash, and at the middle of the walking to the thrashcan you cancel the operation, the sim drop the thrashbag and as results came that picture
thanx!!
I don’t know about you guys but that’s been there for me since base game. It’s like one of bad things that can happen in the new house you move into when you first start a game.
It’s true that weather and Pets are the two most requested Expansions for The Sims 3. Uni and Business are probably right behind them, but I have a strong feeling that it will be seasons. There are too many things hinting at it in Pets. Notice all of the new trees that look like they are stuck in fall/autumn? That and a lot of the new male clothing looks like fall/winter wear. One other big thing, when a Unicorn does that thing with it’s foot, a small tree and vines comes out of the ground. I just hope we hear something about it and Master Suite soon.
I don’t put much weight on EA Russia’s ramblings. EA America makes the EP’s. EA Russia is just a subsidiary. But as someone else noted, this model has been in the game since base game as has the snow effects. I’m pretty sure we are getting a never been done themed EP next.
TheBlackScorpion,
Even if this is confirmed, it won’t be proof that its an Easter Egg for the next expansion pack.
The Black Scorpion,
I just hope the next creature is the werewolf, since I was disappointed that they weren’t included in pets. However, anything that is not undead, and does not look really human, or closely resemble a real world animal will be better than nothing. I guess through that if it is seasons, or an agricultural expansion pack, after Pets, that’s probably the one that would be most likely to include the werewolf.
Never said that, but there’s no real way of knowing if he was serious or trying to throw us off. It could be down like earlier Expansions where they mixed elements from different Sims 1 and Sims 2 Expansions. Sure it could be something new to The Sims, but they could also still include weather/seasons. We have to wait and see.
The challenge you get that you see this a lot in is one about squatters that use to live in your house. It even has rats running about the place too. This has been in the game since base game.
Just people rarely start new games since that’s how you get those challenges.
the way they talk about the werewolf, I doubt we’ll see it return in The Sims 3 unless it does in a magic Expansion. Personally, I’d rather see Aliens return next instead of the werewolf and anything else.
I doubt in the magic expansion pack because they added that expensive spell book in :/
I also have never encountered the “Squatters” Challenge when moved in, ever.
OMG ANYTHING BUT THIS! I had enough with the “vampires”<-(more like zombies ALREADY) so skip the zombies! They turn pale and bite, just like zombies except they dont eat brains!(And they infect at insane speed!)
Same here with me, werewolves were a a great thing in sims 2, but I rather see aliens and of course zombies in the future EP’s. I also think that if we ask nicely maybe they’ll get us anything left from sims2 in the last EP for sims 3…
Sorry for my bad english – I come from Poland + I just got up and now I’m drinking coffee 😀
I think that weather should have been added already at the base game, since there is the possibility of cultivating fruits and vegetables, something that was added with seasons in The Sims 2. But in The Sims 3 it would really be a big addtion, besides modifying completly the neighborhoods depending on the season someone is playing, it would need a higher system requirements, because for people like me who have low specs PC, since the Ambitons expansion, only with that simple storm effects that appeared sometimes, the game started to crash a lot. Now I can’t even play the game, because EA have been improving game lighting effects with every patch or expansion, and even on low graphics settings, I cannot play the game properly. Just imagine covering Sunset Valley with snow, or having a snow storm. The minimum system requirements for The Sims 3 expansions, are long not MINIMUM anymore. And that is what I have, and I could play nicely until the Ambitions expansion.
Yes hello, I am the one who TOOK the image posted here, thank you. I am not sure how you got it from a foreign post on a foreign site but you can find my post about it here

It was not a “pile of junk”, it was a pile of trash. It had the trash green smoke effect and it turned back into trash when interacted with. It had absolutely nothing to do with the tiny leaves dogs can find. You cannot stack (on the ground) the leaves dogs find.
I’m just upset they didn’t include vending machines and chickens with the pets ep, like they were originally going to. haha
that and the mechanical bull.
There’s no reason to be rude, so lose the attitude. Also, the site that originally posted it did not include a source so there was no way for us to know.
I don’t think Claeric was being rude. She’s miffed that a post of hers on another website has done the rounds and now ended up on this website, with a bit of second-hand information garbled due to “chinese whispers” and google translate. 🙂
No harm done. This post was a little too general.
Yeah, I am just a little baffled about how this information could get here in such a roundabout way to begin with, and the complete lack of proper information. Only clarifying.
She was definitely not being rude. It’s very hard to tell if someone is being rude or not on the internet unless they use completely offensive language or personal attacks.
I feel like sometimes you guys are very quick to call someone out on this site for being “rude” when in reality they are just stating something in a way that might be read as being rude…….just my two cents.
For crying out loud, my apologies to Shivar/Claeric.
Leaves and a stick?Hmmm…Interesting.In my mind I’m not sure if it could be an easter egg or not.But with the great amount of people asking for a Seasons spin off,it might be.
