i think that maybe on the next sims 3 you should create it where you can have a huge cruise ship and go on it and travel to places like: Italy,london,los veagas,los angels,Germany,Asia,Japan,Alstralia, and Great Britan that would be amazing to have a game like that and the person who created the sims is amazing i have everyone of them and their awsome but if you take this advice you’ll be rich and have alot of happy customers one of them will be me so think you and have nice day bye!!!!!!

Answer to bee:

I think there are still rabbit holes but yours sims go to “House calls” where you visit the customers house and and your sim does whatever their job is. E.g firefighter would go to work at a fire station with a rabbit hole but will go to peoples houses if there’s a fire

I hope we see pets, weather and apartments soon!!
I also would love open-for-business for the sims 3 ^^

Mmm…Im exsited but i think that it needs ALOT MORE JOBS THEN THIS and i wonder if it’s worth buying cuz it doesnt say wether *you gonna see your sims working or not …. if i wont be able to control their working and see them working then i think it’s not worth buying it. BUT STILL IM EXSITED ;D
they could do a TRAITS expansion pack where it could be 100 more traits…
THAT WOULD BE GREATT. and they could also make seasons expansion pack i would definnetly buy dat! I have sims 3 world adventures and im kinda bored of it ;/ it only has three places to go…egypt france and china… ;/

Need…more…sim…deaths I loved some of the more inventive ways to kill a sim in Sims2, Sims3 has been very ‘lite’ thus far…:) Please, EA?

This is the most excited I’ve been about an EP in some time! Since TS2 Open for business actually…

Inventing! Private investigating! Ghostbusty goodness! New skills! Plus the ramifications of things like architecture and fashion design sound awesome; changing fashions, buildings and newly invented technologies might finally put paid to the ’2010 stasis’ currently present in Sims 3, e.g. Generations pass, but tech, fashion, hair etc. all currently stay static around the late 00′s – early ’10s mark. :P

The way I see it, think of them as mini careers. You choose what you want to be and you…do it. If you’re a fire fighter you get called about a fire and you go put it out. If you’re a tattoo artist, perhaps other Sims come to your house to get a tattoo. If you’re an inventor you build you own workshop and build from there. These aren’t actual “careers”, just jobs you can do to earn money.

If you do actually travel to work in the morning, then I assume they’ll be normal lots that you can walk around in and whatnot. I don’t think rabbit holes are affected in any way, nor do I think they’ll add more.

It looks good, and I still need more details about it anytime. As for rabbit holes, they might be accessible or not. Maybe we will build non-rabbit holes/”homes” for our Sims and their careers. For instance, home businesses where they run their beauty shop, tattoo shop, etc while others like grocery store, book store, etc will remained unaccessible. Or they might go over Sims’ homes to do their job. We will have to wait and see for that in the further months.

im guessin the town is their job. rabbit holes will stay closed and sims will get calls when a fire starts or etc

Curious as to how this will work then. If the rabbit holes don’t open, does the expansion kick in when a sim pulls away in the car and goes to work, or is it essentially a seperate game like WA which has to be actively kicked in to access?

I doubt the rabbit holes will open up. They never directly stated this in the press release and EA rarely adds extra features that they do not describe. If EA can sell a feature, they would.

Actually underwhelmed by this to be honest. If you had the ability to run your own business as well as follow your sims to a job, then I’d be enthusiastic. Open for Business would have been tops for Sims 3, but instead we have this.

i have a question. will the rabbit holes open up or are they creating a whole new town. i dont think we’ll see them at work but only while they work in the town. its impossible to open the rabbit holes we have now

Nice – this may mean that we have more control over townies – at least the default kinds of clothes they wear.
