At least the stairs are coming today and tomorrow we'll finally get a real look at RoM. And as of then it will only be 4 days away.

Yeah, I really like what they have done with the stairs. I got some design ideas coming in for when RoM arrives.

So, I got my Sims cat done :)

Slowly ticking off my list of things to do. Just waiting for patch and livestream now!

I was wondering, is anyone planning to try making a spellcaster (or whatever you want to call them) mixed with a sulani elemental so you'll be a wizard able to call lava bombs?

Is it September 10th yet? :P

You people and your free stuff update I'm just here waiting for the LS

I think we all are :joy: But actually, I need this update to finish my magic school, so it will be a very welcome distraction. Plus, it's easier to think about that releasing in the next 1-2 hours than having to think about the long wait ahead of us til the LS tomorrow evening and the even longer one til Tuesday :D

Oh my GAAAWD, the wait is killing me!

*Distractedly stirs cauldron.*

I'm not going to be able to concentrate on my work with all that info coming in tomorrow's livestream. I'm hoping I can sneak a peek, but I would have really liked to be part of the chat, too. I'm going to try to time it with my lunch break so I can at least get a look at the goodies!

*Cauldron starts to bubble over...*

Oh dear. *Checks spellbook.*

*Cauldron sparks, starts to shake, a putred odor spilling out...*

Umm.... *Takes a few steps back.. *

*Black and green smoke starts to fill the room. Sparks escalate...*

Not good! Everybody take cover!!

*Backs into rickety shelves, turns to run but contents crash down onto self. Slips on Tongue of Toad. Falls under avalanche of ingredients.*

*Cauldron explodes in a disgustingly violent burp, regurgitating slimy herbs, melted wax, a variety of coagulated fluids, some finger bones, wet dirt...and broken pocket watch.*

Oh plum.

*Reaches filth-covered hand out from under pile to grasp watch.*

So that's where that went.

Imma hold off on believing rumors until the LS tomorrow, but that that list looks nice :D

I didn't have many hopes for that, definitely not in the number of potions they mentioned. Since not everyone has all the packs, having ones related to other packs would decrease the amount for anyone who doesn't have those packs. Making them universal is less likely to cause issues (with people complaining that packs are dependent on each other, not with functionality)

which is a shame, I don't see it from the perspective that I need everything, I see it and I like it a lot when packages intertwine, gives you a greater sense of content and something more complete, not isolated packages. Anyway I expected because even in the sims 1 we have potions and spells that link the previous expansions, although it is last remember that the sims 3 also has something like.

The number is right, so this might well be legit

I don't think they'll make a lot of potions related to other packs for the simple reason that it would launch the whole "I need pack x,y,z to enjoy all the features of this one"-debate. I'm surprised enough as it is that we got cats & dogs to be familiars lol. But yeah, these could very well be correct. Where did you get this from?

I imagined 15 only ROM and additional wells based on the packs you have, such as vampire potion or vampire cure, reputation or fame potion, career promotion or even mermaid potion. I would love to stock up and sell as I did in the previous one. sorry for quoting the sims 3 so much but it is a basis I have to talk about alchemy :D

I found some nice info here:

Gosh this doesn't help me be any less excited. It also makes me feel like I shouldn't be reading this and just watch the LS instead, but I. can't. stop.
