The Rumor Mill
POSTED ON 03/07/11
Am I the only one not impressed by \"rumors\" of what the new expansion pack will entale? I swear, people are acting like children trying to peek in their parents\' closets to see what presents they\'ll get for Christmas. It\'s all right, kiddies. Christmas will come and we\'ll all be excited by what Sim Santa will bring us. ... As long as it\'s pets.

Hahah.

Yes, I am still hoping for pets. I wish they had brought them sooner, but I\'m sure EA\'s trying to make sure they do it \"right.\" Pets in TS1 were a novelty at best. They were much-improved in TS2, with the level of customization offered. They have to do one better than TS2, and with an open, expansive world like TS3 has now, it probably requires a lot more thought on their part.

Imagine the strays free-roaming from one part of town to the next. Something\'ll have to be done to make sure there aren\'t too many walking around at one time. And what extra variety of pets will be made purchaseable? Dogs and cats are a given, but a lot of people having been crying for farm animals. Frankly, I could live without them, but considering that most of TS3 seems farm and countryside-themed, I can only guess that they are forthcoming.

So yeah. I have my little wants and desires, like any good Simfan, but it seems silly to me to take a rumor and run with it as fiercely as what I\'ve seen on the forums.

But I guess without that sort of things, forums wouldn\'t really exist, now would they?
