I bet they don't even know that they've had electric guitars in the past. Whoever made them probably doesn't even work there any more.

Uni brings pool tables and photobooths....again. Sigh, basically I have the limited edition of Showtime for the hairs, the cheap energy-8 bed and the pull-up bar. Just like since Supernatural I'm keeping Late Night for the shoes and clothes and the two pro bars to give my sims a hobby...

I'm excited for Uni but I kinda feel weird about my previous purchases. LN and SHT could be one 2000 simpoint store bundle with two premium items...

(Also, I really want Nicole K to get on with her early copy of UN since I can't stand Ipodzeke, I always subscribe to him only until other LPers start producing vids. I don't think Curtis even plays anymore, he never was very good at actually playing the game. Nicole is very pleasant to listen to, soft voice and no weird fake-ghetto-talk.)

I liked AMB though. It had loads of stuff when it came out and it was pretty new as far as Sims goes. It contained more than most of the EPs do anyway and it took use of the open neighbourhood.

But if I had known then that we would not be getting the things that we want from FT/OFB at some point then I would probably have been a bit more negative.

I guess I had more faith in EA then than I do now.

TS3 aliens? Finally! Now give us OFB and proper apartments, damnit! - EA, you are breaking my heart. - I give up.

Uni brought us pool tables and photobooths because the team wanted to provide players without those EPs with more content without having to purchase more EPs.

Personally, I'd prefer a normal, more modern look wardrobe, as opposed to our billionth bed or chair, but... whatever. Also, I liked when they made vanity drawers, and then, gave out more in the next EP. THAT was great. At this point, our Laundry quota has been filled, in both the store and EPs. Photobooth, now that we have a vintage looking one, is fulfilled. Pool tables were fulfilled when gave us two of them - traditional and modern. I could only hope for a under-counter nectar rack, for kitchens. THAT would be a great addition instead having to set aside space for a cabinet, hoping it doesn't look silly when it comes time to design a house.

I guess the podium will have to do for our microphone replacement, since EA wont give us one. It looks like Sims can give lectures in public, not just protests - about what, I have no idea., but it looks nice addition to add to community lots, rather than just adding a guitar in a corner.

See, for me, it's not even the voice. Maybe it's the English major in me but when I hear him repeatedly butchering 'avant garde' (and basically any word longer than five letters), I get a little irritated. Okay, maybe very... like see-if-I-can-slap-him-with-the-dictionary-through-the-computer irritated.

Sometimes, you have to bite the bullet, and let the ignorant be ignorant.

He has the good, and it's best not to bite the hand that feeds you, though he'll probably still make more videos anyway lol

There are 2 or 3 electric guitars in the free Prius pack (complete with solar panels and windmills, among other things)

Are they actual electric guitars with an amp though like the HELS one or are they just remeshes of the acoustic guitar from the base game?

Trailer's out.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?featur...d&v=M6egncgPhrE

That launch trailer was... I wonder how how other LGBTs feel about that University Life trailer, because they included some content in it. Some of it's OK and some of it... eh. I'm not entirely sure they handled it as well as they could have, but they tried. I'd like to see outside opinions.

As someone who identifies as being part of the LGBT group, I was a little bothered by the 'be who you are or what you want to become' and looking like a woman. Like, I'm not angry or protesty about it and I'm not going to throw a fit, but it left me a little uncomfortable. Mostly because the 'T' in LGBT is largely ignored AND misrepresented/understood.

It just left me with an 'ehhhhh' feeling in regards to that part of it. I'm not sure why it bothers me at all, since it's not the worst thing they could have done. But. IDK.

I liked the trailer overall, though. I've been up and down about if I'm excited for UL or not and that made me a little excited again. Surprised they made 'woohooing' one of the selling points since they want to make the game family-friendly.

@ Christmasfear, I was told on the forums that the release was at midnight for EPs released before. If I have to wait on PST, then come on 2 am.

@ Matrix, I was thinking for the movie directors or those in jobs at the theater. *shrugs*

Correction: Might be part of the game developer career. Would be nice for movie directors too.

Yeah, that kind of made me cringe a little. I'm not transgender, so do I know anyone who is, but I can image anyone playing the game who is being a little put off by that.

And I forgot all about the game design career. Now, I want to see more from it.

I wish the careers were new jobs as well for majors and not just networking jobs. I guess we can always cheat, and set it to the lowest position and work our way up.
