Hello Simmers! My name is Jennifer Lane – some of you know me as SimGuruJenn – and I’m one of the producers on The Sims 3.

OPTION 6: none of then.
Yeah they all sound VERY exaggerated for a stuff pack but I’ll go with The Sims 3 Teen Stuff…
I want party stuff. I hated parties in Sims 2 until the celebration SP came out. I loved the pack so much I would throw parties all the time. But in Sims 3 ihaving parties is boring again. There is nothing to decorate with so I never throw or go to them.
Is it really so difficult to create a Stuff Pack dedicated to landscaping? I loved the plants and the building structure items that came with Mansion and Garden Stuff for TS2. But is this an option? No. It has to be sports, party crap, so-called “stylish” clothing, more decorative dust catchers…
Make a Stuff Pack for introverts already!
*Sighs…* I guess I’ll vote for Decades Stuff. At least (if it’s chosen) the retro theme may bring back the aura of TS1.
yeah, same thought line, same decision made
Decades Stuff sound the best to me.
There’s no need for Storytelling stuff, as there is already a LOT of CC that does the same.
I dislike Sports Stuff because I dislike Sports, LOL.
Party Stuff = Celebration Stuff
Teen Stuff = Teen Style Stuff
Decades seems like the best, as it is original.
Why are they giving options for things they’ve already done way too much? Is this the creative team at work? O_o
I guess decades stuff is the most “new” of them all, still we do get quite a bit of retro stuff. I thought Fast Lane Covered that, and various other sets in the other EPs and stores..
A “hair” stuff pack would be best really, with just like 30 new GOOD hairs for _every_ life stage and gender. I don’t want cc in my game, and I need more hairs without stupid hats on them. I want _hair_ hair. Long vivid hair for both men and women, hair that’s loose and free and natural, without a lot of decor on it. I want TONS of hairs in a hair stuff pack.
But of these I easily choose storytelling since those items seems to be most useful… 😀
I like this all 😀
The decades one seems the most interesting to me… But I imagine they will pull out one decade at a time, just to get more money…
The Sims 3 Decades Stuff and The Sims 3 Storytelling Stuff.
Decades seems different but I wanted them to list a Sims 3: Babies and Infant Stuff, but they didn’t.
I’m going with Sports stuff, I would love if they added a new animation or two but I’m not holding my breath.
How about “A good one”
You really think your vote will count? Last poll I voted on was for the name of the Sci-Fi world they created, and they still went with the name they picked, not what we picked. I wouldn’t waste my time.
Youngoldprude & J said it for me, I want our damned garden themed ep/sp already, not every gamer plays to be famous, rich and the toast of the town. Still waiting for a slider to control my hollywood undead issue too (overrun with vampire celebrities) or an uber patch sp to fix everything w/o breaking anything else (that would sell big time!)
Decades Stuff for me, please!
Sports will get it. have you seen all the ppl on the forums wantibg sport stuff? Like all the ppl who wanted a superstar remake….
its pretty bad when they have to ask us if there ideas are any good, seems EA is loosing ideas.
cough cough seasons cough cough open for business
Here’s a novel idea EA: How about some damned bug fixes?
Just in case you need a reminder of the fixes we’re still waiting for:
Running disease.
Broken lighting.
Broken mood (sims plunging into depression despite buffs)
Broken routing.
Broken ghosts leaving en masse from the graveyard.
Broken jam sessions (why only two options out four available?)
Generally broken AI. Seriously – I thought things were supposed to have moved on from TS1?
Every goddamn clothing item post base game set for random and/or all categories, including balding hair for YAMs. This includes the free Store crap like the flippers and rubber duckie ring.
Broken Ambitions lot placement in Sunset Valley/Riverview/etc.
Broken mixologists who seem to spend more time dancing than serving drinks.
Broken butlers.
Need I go on? Probably not, because when it comes to EA, I may has well be smashing my head against a brick wall.
Still, while these bugs continue to be fixed by the community itself (except the lights because it’s a shader issue), it’s good to know that EA are putting their time to use on pointless features that few people want like social/Facebook nonsense and overpriced (and horribly broken of course) Store crap.
Good old EA.
I bet EA will release all of them, and our votes are just determining which ones come out first.
In any case, Decades and Sports sound good. But it is EA, so I’m not expecting anything brilliant.
uknortherner you made my day.
I love you 🙂
I voted for the Decades stuff pack, it sounded the most interesting.
Not keen on the Teen, Party or Sport stuff packs but I wouldn’t mind the storytelling one winning either.
They are polling the community because we all bitch/moan/complain too much about what we want. so they threw together the most requested ideas posted and streamlined them into stuff packs, then probably we’ll see 2 of them marketed. that and i worry they’re borrowing ideas from blogs off their site…I outlined a decades idea suspiciously similar in my blog on there…cept I wanted a VW microbus and 1800’s-1960’s type things.
