Hehe, I always love when people say that before we get info on the game/before the game comes out. And then it may be like what happened with Pets all over again. :lol:

[PunkyBreester]

YAY POTTERY!!!

*ahem* Sorry. I'm really excited :) I hope that means that our sims will be making the pottery.

edit: I also like that lady's clothes.... :D

[crocobaura]

yey, can't wait for soccer match. :) Did you guys see the balerinna silhouette in the background? :)

[Sizza]

Awesome! Now I want it

[fway]

I Noticed it croc, but did anyone also notice the thing with weird feet next to the ballerina!?

There's a bigger and I mean ginormous image here (hover and click on the image to zoom):

It doesn't look like pottery guys the craft looks like it was sculpted with the tools it uses. looks like they recycled the craft benches from OFB. Did anyone ever notice the asterisk after the "Expansion Pack" now that I'm looking at my expansion CD's I can see it. I wonder where I can find the fine print that goes with it. XD Also noticed it's all one word. This has got to be the most on record amount of one worded EPs ever.

Hmmm, I noticed teh pointy shoes on the guy, but I figured its some new kind of sneakers. :rofl: Maybe we get drunken gnomes tooo. :D

[foolinthemoon]

w00t! excited! but i have to say, that the thing with the wieird feet kinda just looks like he's barefoot with long cuffs to me. Whatever it is, it's wearing glasses... maybe you can be a computer nerd? write code all day? XD The ladies dress is awesome though! <3 can't wait

I've looked at the Wikipedia article and it contains some information I haven't seen anywhere else.

"About

Craft new, unique items for your Sims to use in their daily lives including clothing, pottery, and more.

Features

- Discover your Sims' passion from a wide range of new activity types, from sports to science to arts and crafts. All-new hobbies include basketball, soccer, restoring cars, ballet, even searching for alien life in outer space!

- Hobbies offer lifetime rewards. As your Sims master new activities they'll unlock new aspirations, earn rewards, and uncover secret lots.

- Once your Sims build up their skills, they can sell their arts and crafts or see how they stack up against the competition by entering dance, food, and video game contests!

- All-new group activities are a great way for Sims to spend time with family and friends. There are even special activities for kids and toddlers!

- Hobbies can be full of unexpected moments, especially for Sims with low skill levels. Your newbie Sim might sew a bear with one eye, make a lopsided jar on the pottery wheel, get poison ivy while hiking, or who knows wha-"

Anyone know if this is genuine?

[SilentPsycho]

bacon164, that was the information reported by Snooty Sims, who got it from the Toys R Us description.

[frankie]

Wow, when I first had seen this at Snooty's I was just amazed! For just the first bit of info this EP seems like it is going to be the best yet! What better way than to end the game? Then again, if Maxoids were asking us about SuperStar and Makin' Magic, I wonder if there will be an 8th one to be a remake of those two. :)

[maybesomethingdunno]

...Did anyone ever notice the asterisk after the "Expansion Pack" now that I'm looking at my expansion CD's I can see it. I wonder where I can find the fine print that goes with it...

fway, unless I am mistaken, that is probably the disclaimer that tells the buyer that he/she needs the base game (DVD or CD version), The Sims 2 Deluxe edition, or Holiday edition of TS2 for the Expansion Pack to work.

[fway]

:doh geez am I blind? how couldn't I see that. don't mind me I'm stupid :lol:

[xJOFLx]

Uhh. Does anyone have a link please?
=P

[Simsgirl_SC]

Write snootysims and google it. You will find it easily. ;)

[cosmough]

the cover's purple...
WICKED !!! :D

[jingxia]

Mmm... am I the only one who doesn't like the cover? xD

I wish they wouldn't always photoshop the sims' faces that much. Can't help but find it ugly. ): The fingers are nice though. :giggler:

I like the woman's clothes though, they remind me of the gypsy that came with NL.

About the nerdy guy with the weird feet... I think those are sandals. :rofl:

[Pleasance]

I hope we get that hairstyle on the girl, it's cute.

[YamLin]

I have a feeling it could just be the way they've rendered a pre-existing hair style already in the game (such as the longish curly hair, which bends awkwardly when Sim's tilt their heads, so they've created an 'impression' of that hair instead). Edit: in fact, it looks a little like the Nightlife gypsy hair without the bandana (and not grey).

The guy playing football is taller than the woman - and his head is bigger - aih false advertising and wishfull thinking of there ever being hight differences. Anyhow - I want this more than BV - so many new things - and tons of new business ideas :) I think the guy in glasses is wearing some kind of boots or some knee protection - look at the knee part - his lower leg looks quite thick.

Meh, you can alter the height with the stretch skeleton cheat. :)

[normawilahmina]

This looks really good, so far. I've always wanted more creative things for my sims to do. I hope that kids can participate in the sports activities and ballet.

[KismetRose]

They had me at "new aspirations." :D

[FurryPanda]

I'm liking how the sports guy has plumbbobs on his socks, its a nice touch.

[Captain THPS4]

I noticed that too FurryPanda. I like the expression on the woman's face. :lol:

[TingTong]

YAY purple cover! My fave colour next to seasons.... and the writing!! ooooohh....

[bookworm_duo]

[tubegal1988]
