The only stuff pack that interests me is the 70s, 80s, 90s pack and the Diesel pack mainly since it add nice clothing for the men. The former looks AMAZING! simsvip.com/2012/11/09/sims-3-70s-80s-90s-fact-sheet-official-screens/For pictures and info on the SP. EDIT: Supernatural doesn't interest me either, but I like having all EPs. The SPs are a hit n miss. I got the Diesel pack the other day, it's pretty great. I pre-ordered 70s, 80s, and 90s Stuff since I know I'll want it and it comes out around my birthday. I think I may just go ahead and get those two SPs just because the furniture is a huge draw for me. Building a new house last night made realize that keeping decor fresh for future series is gonna be tough without more options.

Just picked up Seasons today.
It's... okay... so far. My favorite expansion pack on The Sims 2 was Season because it added tree farming (oranges, apples, and lemons), and expanded fishing (two features I sort of enjoyed). I still can't figure out what the weather pole thing does yet...

Updated the thread title since it's obvious that a few people here still play. I picked up High End Loft stuff to help decoration, got another $5 credit that I can use in January so I'll be using that and the other one I got 70s, 80s, and 90s Stuff and probably Master Suite Stuff.
Edit: Origin is also running a Sims deal. Buy one, get one. Bundle packs, expansions, and a couple of Stuff packs are on the Buy list with Ambitions, World Adventures, and Late Night plus some Stuff packs are on the Get list.

I heard about the Origin deal. Now I'm stuck between that or getting WWE'13 for $25 on Black Friday at Walmart.
In my game right now, I'm going through Lucky Palms and creating specific community lots that come with the different EPs. That's the world I plan on doing my story in. Speaking of stories, still open to do the banners for you Hawkeye.

Ok and here's a few pictures via my Tumblr of the girl I'm going to be working with soon. Her name is Mariah Navvaro. Thank the heavens for the name generator in-game. I suck at naming people.

I hate the name-generator in the game. There's some good mods for that on ModTheSims2.com that give you various options. Plus, I've been told the internet has a plethora of those "baby names" websites that all my pregnant friends love to frequent.

I do frequent the baby sites when I need to, so guilty. MTS has allot of great stuff on it.

Speaking of, since I've installed Seasons, the load times for the game have been HORRIBLE. I've been waiting 10 minutes (no lie, I've timed it this time) to load Bridgeport. Maybe I should switch to a smaller city, but I really enjoy Bridgeport...

Bridgeport is too laggy for me and this computer is crap. I'm working on getting a great laptop just for The Sims. The only time Seasons seems to lag is when it's actually loading. It takes a few minutes longer to load a save or new world. Other than that, it's wonderful. I'm still in summer right now.

I'm running Seasons in Starlight Shores, load times don't seem too bad but they do seem like they are a little bit longer.

Bought it with the Late Night expansion via digital download... took forever to show up on my account in order to actually download... and then I promptly got involved with 5 different girls. I got one pregnant, and then the entire town turned on me and I was getting slapped on my way to the gym and grocery store.
I go back home, and there's my baby on the doorstep as my baby's momma was inside making herself a peanut butter sandwich thing.

I learned that there is a friendly greeting that says "Tell the truth about cheating" and that there is also an option when you're talking to another Sim to "Show sympathy for Jamie (Baby Momma)."
I don't know how you guys get such great screen grabs... although I think my Sim is done on that trek, since he's basically being slapped out of town.
He cannot even start a conversation with anyone, as they dislike him and he is on Sim "dirtbag" status now.

Hit the C in-game to take photos or the little camera in the UI. You should check you sims reputation ever so often to see what it is. There's a Lifetime Reward you can by if you have enough points that clears your sims reputation out and starts you off fresh again.

I was thinking of moving to another city, and doing something political there. I wonder if Jaime would follow me there and start up havoc... haha.
