if EA starts saying they are gonna add pole dancing just watch what will happen to the sales.

they arent stupid their stupid enough to add socials but definatly not into completly destroying their series

I don't think pole dancing would destroy the series. The social networking will. But pole dancing wouldn't turn away teenagers and it might make adults more interested as this adds a more adult aspect to the gameplay.

social networking could be 50/50 i mean i HATE the idea of it i have played the sims since day and i dont like the idea of social or simport features at all

but lets see EA is only listening to the kids ages 12-16 who are obsessed with facebooking and texting and tweeting and whatever else so i mean life-long fans such as myself will most definatly eventually leave the series but if enough kids chime in i'm sure the sims will stay around.

Also I was talking about with their clothes on. I don't want people getting the wrong idea. I'm not talking nothing m rated.

which is why it wont be added people more so parents will get the wrong idea a their goes ea sales down the drain more with showtime vs how bad their sales will be since most dont want the social crap

unless simgurunelson has edited her post or you've heard it from a reliable source such as sims vp/simprograms then it's probably fake

You should not believe anything you hear, especially if it comes from another player. Someone said something about there being hotels in this expansion pack, but that has never been confirmed.

And I went and reread SimGuru Snelson's post. There is *nothing* in there that indicates pole dancing will be in the expansion pack. As far as I'm concerned, this is just some player blowing hot air just to get attention. No pole dancing in this expansion pack.

I'm a little confused about the opposition to this idea. Personally, I couldn't care less whether it's included or not, though a new exercise or something would be pretty nifty, but pole dancing is, plain and simple, a form of exercise. It's almost identical to the ribbon work that lots of child gymnasts do, which is an activity that is pretty much never questioned.

What people do while pole dancing is an entirely separate issue. Often, if you think that pole dancing is a strictly "adult" activity, then you're the one with the problem. Obviously you can't see things except through an "adult" lens. In that case, you should have just as much as a problem with other features of the game.

As a result, including this activity wouldn't make that much difference to the game. Of course, some conservative people would be hesitant, but as long as it's a clothed performance/exercise, there's no big deal and I think most people would see that. It's definitely not different to the caged dancing from Sims 1 or worse than the lingerie in the next stuff pack. For those concerned parents, I have one suggestion: don't let your kids use it, if it's a real concern; then again, letting your child's Sims pole dance is no worse than letting them WooHoo.

In regards to the original post, I have not heard any confirmation of pole dancing as of yet, although there was something in the video (and I really can't remember where it was) that actually did make me think that maybe it would be included as part of an acrobat's performance.

Why would somebody want it anyways? For what purpose? To watch them? They are sims. Thats a little creepy.

I bet you anything they won't combine the singing with the instruments, to have a complete band. EA is known to have good ideas but never execute to its fullest. I guess it has to do with development deadlines for each expansion. Why not hire a large team, Hello this is a billion dollar franchise why not treat it like one. Don't make sense to me. They could sell way more units if they invest time and money into this franchise. Ok.... enough rambling let me shut my mouth before I turn this into a complaining subject. lol

Just because we have only two dance moves now in the Sims 3. And the basic one in base game is too normal. :mrgreen:

You can learn to dance without a pole.....

Also incase youre interested, there is lots of new dancing added in late night
