The Chinese have the dragon superstition.

Maybe they can revive the Nightlife gypsy in a European region... And it wouldn't take much to recolor a magic gnome to look like a leprechaun.

Looks good to me. I'm not getting why people aren't liking this coming out first, though. To me, it seems to fit in very well with the seamless neighbourhood.

see, Lew, that's what I'm saying! People are jumping to conclusions.

No doubt it looks stunning - some great scenery in this Egypt themed area, I like the detail in some of the objects displayed too. I can't wait to see France and China! I am imagining the Eiffel tower but built like a plumbob.

I'm not too excited yet as there isn't much information about gameplay. It'd be slightly redundant if it's all about travelling to collect secret items or something as mundane.

Indeed, I agree with you Lew and Ri. With the seamless neighbourhood, a Vacation-style expansion pack would fit snugly into it. Not only that, but it does give people partly what they want - a new area to explore, outside of the two current neighbourhoods. I do wonder if it will be a location just for vacationing, or if they will include the possibility of living there too. In the background of one picture, there were what looked like small houses as in Cairo, Egypt. Still, the open shops looked nifty and authentic.

Not really fond of the idea - I didn't like BV very much at all, but as long as there's new stuff to explore and new things to collect, I'll be happy.

Mmmh...That looks not bad at all. It seems Bon Voyage done in the right way. I was supposing that destinations in World Adventures or however they would have call'd it would be placed in RL countries, since many object descriptions referred to real places.

I think that they'll be forced to implement seasons. They didn't pack all the stuff together in TS2 because, when BV was announced, seasons and climate were already implemented.

Anyway, there will be also 1,000 simpoints included with the EP. New pay items on the way?

people kept on telling me ages ago when I first got BV...

but that was the thing. I did assign them rooms, but other sims would still come into their hotel rooms and sleep in beds that wasn't supposed to be theirs. :-\

It was proably an glitch that shouldn't even had happened, and I kept on waiting for them to come out with a patch to fix this. But they never did.

I'm loving it. Makes me want to buy the base game. In fact, I think I'll buy this coming weekend.
This prolly means that we won't be getting any neighborhood creation options. I think they're sticking to the seamless world thing.
But I do hope there will be nice, swimmable beaches. That was what I loved about BV.

Another thing, the man in the pics looks like he's based on Brendan Fraser(The Mummy). I predict that mummies will be one of the magical creatures in this EP. (I'm surprised no one thought of it lol)

Well, even if we don't get custom neighborhoods, as long as we get an entire world to interact with I'll be just fine. ^_^

I just hope they include weather. I mean It would make sense to include it right??

Like I said, different areas of the world have different climates, so it would be an extremely good idea to put them in. I mean, it isn't going to always be sunny in the rainforest, is it? [EXAMPLE]

I miss snow holidays from TS1.
I'm hoping for weather because Seasons was my favourite EP, but I doubt it - it will probs be in a totally seperate EP.
But I love how they're based on real life places. :]

You were meant to lock the door!

Looks like new traits!



I like the sound of this!

YESSSSS! I've always wanted to go to Egypt to see the pyramids (I wanted to be an Archaeologist when I was a kid and discover a lost pharoah's tomb ), but there's that whole thing with having "hostage" stamped on your passport as soon as you enter the country. I wasn't thrilled about another BV when the rumors were flying, but the fact that they're using actual destinations... many of which I hope to visit someday myself...totally changes my whole perspective. An Egyptian destination was more than I ever expected (mostly I just download CC and create Egyptian based neighborhood and the like). Now I can't wait for Christmas! I'm giving Santa my Christmas list today and I'm going to work on being a good girl...until Christmas...then I'm sending my sims to Egypt and all bets are off (I hope I can bring home a mummy). Do you remember the skeleton maid in Makin' Magic? Wouldn't it be cool to be able to bring a mummy back that you could knock on his case and he was like an undead Servo? That would be so wicked!

You have to remember though, the game isn't set in stone.

At first I wasn't so sure on this, but reading the information we've got on it, it doesn't sound too bad, infact if they work at it, it could be a very successful EP. I love the idea of new skills, traits and being able to live in the destinations. Sounds like a much better Bon Voyage.

HAAAHAAAAHAAAA... *laughs with sarcasm*

..but you are right, let's be optimistic...! *crosses fingers with doubt in the eyes*

Weeeee. I'm excited! Finally, something for sims to do besides go to work!

I think this looks super exciting. The stills look kind of like movie sets, like your sim becomes Indiana Jones.

I really hope there's like a sims Eiffle Tower.

This doesn't remind me too much of Vacation or BV. It seems different, like there are new types of gameplay, which is a good sign. I hate rehashing the same stuff over and over again. If I wanted to play Nightlife, I would play TS2 Nightlife.

Not sure why people want to hate on this before they even give it a chance. Guess what-- you haven't played it. You have no idea what it's going to be like. You're getting all upset about something of your own imagining. I'm sick of that attitude. How many people boohooed about how much TS3 was going to suck and went out and bought it and played it anyway? Why assume something is going to be terrible and that you aren't going to like it? Do you act like that with everything in your life? Must make you pretty miserable.

Am still not too excited about it but then again its too early to say. It looks like they are only giving three destinations so far, would have liked to have India as well!I'm sure we will get new careers like archaeology, can't wait to see what new traits they have!

I think it sounds interesting. Ninjas..........



And I see that knapsack that guy has on. Hopefully that will make the people in the BAG thread happy.

It looks very pretty. I don't get the hate with BV, I thought it was better than Vacations.

I was hoping for Nightlife first, tho.

I'm not so sure it does... How do you reckon they'll do it? Turn the seemless neighbourhood into a seemless world? I doubt it, but if they did that it would be fine. Not looking forward to the return of load screens. (I can guess the message during startup already... "reloading load-screens")

I think they should focus on adding and expanding possibilities of the seemless neighbourhood first, before adding new places to travel to. If it's the same routines in a different setting, it will get boring very soon.
