Well I'm downloading Late Night now and I heard that you can have bands in that one so my one reason to get Showtime is now gone. I guess I'm not gonna buy it at all!


You can have bands in LN, with no singers. And you can have singers in SHT, but not with a band.

Someone really needs to tell EA how bands work.

I broke down and bought it. So far not impressed. I need this site to open a question and answer. Because I am lost with certain things.

I wish I hadn't bought it. Worst ep yet. There is seriously hardly anything worthwhile here.

Im not planning on getting it. I was a bit disappointed with pets and my computer didnt like it for ages. If this ep is as bad as everyone says, what's the point. Why do they even bother calling them ep's anymore, surely they're just stuff packs with a little extra and a larger price tag.

That was one of the big reasons I didn't want to buy SHT, actually. If they had made bands and singers work together, I would have bought it instantly.

The band career in Late Night was a huge disappointment for me because it was so lame, and this would have been their perfect opportunity to fix that.

But noooooo! We're EA and we suck and don't know how to make anything work!

Lame.

Do I understand this right? I have to log into simport while playing the game to unlock content from this ep?

Yep, and you have to have a friend to unlock some of the things that you paid for when you bought the game. Sigh

What type of items are locked exactly? Actual objects, like some of the stage props? Or is it the achievement badges which you are supposed to collect? Or?

Oh bugger. I really dont want to log into these kind of community things when in a game. I think it is ridiculous to make this mandatory to obtain part of the ep's content. But then I'm also kind of paranoid about the facebook integration. I don't like to be the product of some company for advertising reasons. You don't even get compensated for this, the ep is still just as expensive.
I guess this makes my decision to not buy this ep easier.

So glad I came on this forum was gonna post something along the same lines wondered if to buy showtime and run the risk of yet another re-install.Seeing as EA continues to treat us like cash cows- this cow is on strike! no milk till I get weather! this eternal sunshine is just not working for me anymore! (would you believe just today me and my friend were having an intellectual property argument and redhead creations' post just adds fuel to my fire...anywayz lemme hush)

This COW is ON STRIKE!!!

I'm not going to buy it anytime soon. All the new stuff is REALLY cute, but all in all, it's not very appealing as an expansion pack, and certainly not worth $40. Maybe after someone finds a way to get around all this needed "social interaction"... I mean, really, needing your friends to unlock certain things for you? It'd be a cute idea, if there was another way to unlock them as well. I hate the idea that you NEED other people to play the game for certain parts. Like someone else said, I play Sims for a reason, and I have Facebook for a reason. Ugh.

The advent of, tada, SHT! Behold: The simpages are taken over by spam to the point of unreadability, CC is being thrown around like confetti... EA will *fix* the problem... hm, let's see now. *Idea!* Nope, won't be getting SHT.

Won't be buying this till April. Not buying anything in March. Hopefully mods (including awesome) are updating and working well by then as well.

Same. Not worth paying your own money for, but it's not like I have anything to lose if someone else pays for it.

I am, simply to keep up my collection, and if it's a good EP, then that's just a bonus for me :P.

Just moved into a flat with my partner so money is tight but my partner knows how important Sims is to me, and in return I don't mind him getting the special edition of Assassins's Creed 3 when it comes out.
That's gamer love for you! :P

Maybe they'll get them together in a future expansion called "Late Time", or "Show Night", or "Give EA Money For A Disc Of Crap".

I will not be getting it, I only recently got Pets so I'm occupied and satisfied with that. Showtime doesn't have the sort of game play I'm interested it *Shrug* Not having the complete collection isn't as important to me anymore, I only have one of the Stuff Pack 'cause I won it.

Nothing in this EP interests me. At all. I haven't touched the band ability from LN, or photography from WA, due to laptop performance issues, so why would I buy an entire EP that would clearly give me features I dislike and added stress to my comp?

I find it odd that they've done an entire EP on such a weak premise. I hope the next one will be better planned and executed.
