Do any of you still wish that EA was still making new content for this game?

@SuzyCue72 Origin does not even live on my PC and I actually intend to keep it that way!

In fact until you mentioned it's existence.

I see it like Windows 10: Trouble.

Mostly, I wanted

Farm EP.
Paddies, both round and square
Belly rings,belly diamond, and belly chain
Hammocks
Exercise equipment not made in other sim games

Wouldn't a farm EP be a bit Redundant after Pets through? We got horses in Pets, and you can already make a pretty good farm, even without store content. The only thing missing is a tractor that you can ride around the lot and use to harvest the crops. That would be pretty hard for EA to pull off, even if everyone demanded it. They couldn't even add door opening animations to cars in the Sims 3. I guess that farm workers would be something they could have added, but don't they already have gardener NPCs that you can hire in the game? I imagine that they function kind of similar to way farm workers would work, which again, would kind of make a farming EP a bit redundant.

We already have a tractor that sims ride and it tends and harvests crops, it's part of the Grandpa's Grove store set. It's pretty clear that a farming EP was in the plans at some point and got scrapped. Many of the store sets we got in late 2013-14 in the last runs of premium releases had to do with crops, farming, and food. Though they work together fine, they are a bit disjointed and a popular theory is that they were going to be part of an EP that never materialized.

Same can be said about a carnival type of EP with the merry go round, roller coaster, gondola likely having originally been planned to be connected somehow. A Tunnel of Love would have been nice, didn't we have one way back in TS1 or is my memory playing tricks on me after all these years?

More store sets could be good and wouldn't require patches. Really, there are just little tweaks and maybe a bit of content here and there that I'd like. I want blogging via the computer, which is really more of a tweak, and apparently modders haven't been able to do it. A new computer for it would be lame, but perhaps a vlogging/blogging setup like TS4 has? I would love a woodworking bench!! U-shaped stairs. There are probably a few other objects I'd like but new sets might be cool too.

No....but I do wish they would still be releasing bug fixes for it and improving stability and performance.

I wouldn't let them unclog my toilet let alone "fix" anything.

Every time they've "fixed" something in the past, they've broken about a dozen other things in doing so. My particular beef - they broke the beautiful in-game lighting in a WA patch ( or earlier one, I can't remember exactly ) to introduce that idiotic bloom lighting that virtually no one likes, and they never fixed it because it was assumed it was "too hard" which is their excuse for everything.

Now, instead of lovely garden lighting spilling onto the road in a realistic fashion, or lighting on the ground floor exterior also illuminating the second floor, you have lighting that doesn't go beyond the lot boundry and dark upper stories with well light first floors. It looks ridiculous.
I accept the fact that TS3 is a VERY complicated game, and things will break, but when you just either can't be bothered or simply can't fix something and revert to calling it a "feature" ... no. They're not fit to "fix" anything at all. I hope they just stay far away from TS3.

Wow I didn't know about that.

@Pary I am sure most of us could do without more unintentional "features" in our game! :confounded: :D
