You the real truth ? More like the craziest and most baseless theories ever, and if it actually contradicts the facts, the better. I'm still waiting for this EP you said would definitely come before the next family GP ;)

I'm not blaming EA for anything by the way. It's just a fact that there was an online project being worked on by Maxis, and I don't have any problem with that. That's what video game developpers do, they try new things. Sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn't. Online TS4 is certainly not the first video game project that wouldn't come to fruition, and it won't be the last.

I don't know why it is so hard for you to understand or why you don't think that Patrick Kelly could have done it all on his own. But maybe it is because you don't have the same technical knowledge as I have from studying computer science on our university and therefore don't know that any modder with access to the source code for TS2 for consoles could have made the "Olympus videos" in about an hour and that a software engineer like Patrick Kelly therefore even more easily could have done it because he even was one of the software engineers for the old console game too. He didn't need help from anybody!

Are you seriously claiming P.K. wasn't the guru who worked on the Olympus' (real project) UI? Have you even notice the Sims in the Olympus video mockups are the same Sims in this game? People pointed all that out three years ago, and yes, some are in the game today. And so are their outfits. And so is the furniture. His bio (just like anybody else's listed working for EA stated he worked on the UI (before it was dropped to be TS4 for PC/single player) so no he didn't make up anything. :neutral:

P. K. was an earlier employer in EA. I know that he worked on the UI for TS2 for consoles and that he had left EA some time before he published his videos and "information" about Olympus in 2013.

Some people claim that some of the content in his video also can be found in the game. But all the videos were in the style used in TS2 for consoles and not at all in TS4 stile. Of course there are still sims, furniture and clothes in both TS4 and in the old console game and it maybe similar sometimes. So because people only compared Olympus with TS4 and not with TS2 for consoles they could easily have reached the wrong conclusion about Olympus and TS4. No surprise there. But the Olympus videos are clearly made from TS2 for consoles and it wouldn't make sense at all if the developers of TS4 started with material from that old console game!

The other problem is that people saw it as a "confirmation" of P. K.'s claim about TS4 starting as a MMO game every time a developer referred to TS4 as an "internet based game" even though that most likely only meant that it would be sold as digital downloads and not on discs in all the game stores.
