You know, at first I was laughing my ass off at the cheesey music but by the end of the trailer I was genuinely excited. Well done whoever EA payed to make this.

Misleading trailer tease on the main page... The Sims get ambitious... made me think that they'd dare try doing something new with this series.  Silly me.

EA has forced the series to jump the shark... how many times now? Just keep it domestic, all this stuff is absurd. I hate this trendy style, I preferred the latin music and simple blue menus of the first game. 
 
Don't get me wrong though, I still love The Sims 3, I just don't like where EA continue to steer the whole series.

I could probably get this one, offers what I lacked with the job careers so... Yeah sure why not?
Fun trailer as well.. Nice touch with Rise Against in sim language.

Nice! i really liked the ambition, no pun intended, of World Adventures. I can see this being similarly more RPG-afied

Funny, the Sims franchise has lacked ambition since shortly after the first game.

I think people are too harsh on The Sims. Sure, Ikea furniture packs are retarded, but the base games (Sims, Sims 2, Sims 3) are fantastic, and the first couple of expansions are usually decent. It's not til later when the awful shovelware packs come.

The expansion looks interesting, but I'd rather buy a bunch of songs in Simlish.

Fighting fires and detective work, fine, but hunting ghosts and time travel? What the fuck?

Being a well aware Sims player; one of the biggest demands from the fans is going to actual work  or something. If this was a revamp of the career system and that you actually control your Sims, this would be arguably the most ambitious and biggest expansion pack (doesn't have to necessarily be measured by content; rather how they change gameplay mechanics in Sims 3 and other expansions that come forth).

Not played The Sims since The Sims 2 came out (never played any expansions to that since I was not interested in more sims) however this almost makes me want to try out Sims 3.

This. Shit like the detective job or the fashionista could actually make this game more interesting. I'm sure they are going this way - look how much more of a game is Sims 3 compared to the previous two.

I bet 80% of all players are women. The rest are men wusses who want some power over digital beings.

The recently released expansion only broke The Sims 3 when I installed it.
