- Day Nine -
Favorite Expansion Pack / Least Favorite Expansion Pack

I'll first say, I really do love all the expansions. I can't go long without buying them after they go out, because any new content for the game is good content.

That being said... I played through all the tombs and crap included with World Adventures within the first two weeks of buying it. Sure, I can replay them (meeh) or just travel for the exotic experiences, but honestly, I would prefer content that doesn't funnel you into doing "Quests". This is supposed to be a sandbox game, afterall. Still, kudos to the EA team for trying something different... I just wish it'd been something that had better replay value.

Ambitions, on the other hand, tends to be equally as "pigeon-holey", but to this day I still haven't played through all the content that came with it. The careers, the skills... I still feel like there's things from Ambitions that are new and sparkly. Are they the *greatest* things? Not always, but hey. It gave me Twinbrook, and for that I easily love it the most.

Late Night's pretty cool, but I really hate the celebrity stuff and I'm not really into vampires. The bars? Awesome. Hot tubs? Awesome. Dancing? Awesome. But... that's really it for me.

PS: I'm pretty sure that once Generations comes out, it'll be my favorite, buuutt... Since it's not... ;)

you played *all* the tombs? I'm impressed. I know I haven't though I've seen most of the general stuff that happens.

I can see your point about late night. Once only with a celebrity. I didn't mind the vampires but I'm kind of fond of them. The bars, hot tubs and new dancing is cool.

Yep yep--Kaylee Kane's entire life was devoted to unlocking all the WA content... At this point I could probably go back and play it again and it'd seem fairly new, but eh. I dislike all the running around you have to do for all the opportunities. XD

I still really like the EP, though. I mean, I'd be VERY unhappy without Martial Arts or Photography, or without France for romantic rendezvous, but... Eh. XD

At this point though, if someone asked me 'which I'd uninstall', I'd hit them with a giant mallet. XD

Love miss sim Kaleeko in her firefighter outfit. She looks so cute!

This one's a tough one because all the expansions have something good and bad about them. But Ambitions is pretty cool.

Heee--I did get a kick out of dressing myself up. ;D I totally forgot to draw X's over the WA model's eyes, though. Darnit!

It REALLY is tough. We're talking, minor minor details are what decided this. Kinda what it comes down to in the end!

Unleashed will top them all for me because I *love* animals. LOVE them..my life would be meaningless without the company of my dog and kitty and boyfriend (note: yes, he's catagorized under animals). And of course, if Unleashed does have horses, then that's it. I'm sold. I may never play TS2 again. lol.

PS) I love your pictures.

I just ran through France in game and found stuff I still hadn't done. I'd like it if they offered another land to explore via the Store but I doubt they'd siphon off resources for that effort.

Late Night is a mixed bag. I like the objects but the celebrity thing gets old very quickly. Ambitions is my favorite simply for the option to work at home.

What is this Nonsense?!

This here be a blog for the writer of Desperate Sims to talk about things not-so-story related. Real life, writing, other Simmy stuff, yada yada. If you're confused... Sorry! D;
