It's a stock ticker.

Ok, so what does everyone see new. Is that a ticker tape machine. Like the ones used way back for wall street. The butler seems to be serving. New hair maybe. New clothes. What painting. More guesses?

Thanks! Now I'd love to know if it's just decorative or if there's more behind that!

The shot if from Fast Lane Stuff. How do I know?
The model of the couch is exactly the same as an earlier shot. And nothing about it Late-Night-ish, except for the butler, which is basically an elder Sim in a suit (which is also from Fast Lane) walking and holding food. And Nothing in the shot really reflects the theme of Late Night. So yeah, it's been debunked, The photo is just a shot of the Classic Luxury theme.

Yeah, I'm wondering if we'll be able to invest in the stock market.

There isn't much new, the ticket machine, the lamp, the pillar the ticket machine is on, some outfits,maybe the couch set, and the chair near the desk, and then that glassy thing behind the guy in the white suit. The painting is base game. How I wish desert in the sims would actually be desert, now it's a complete meal.

Notice anything similar in these 2 shots...?

please... anyone...

Same sofa

thank you
What does that mean. what game is this not...?

I reckon they took it down because HQ said to them "you're just gonna confuse people. Replace the pic with something which makes more sense"
The pic hints at both gamesa a bit, althought the exinct ticker machine (I remember those!!) goes with with FL's 'golden oldies' type of objects.
I doubt that ticker machine is decorative anyway. I hope not, although to be honest its a bit...strange. I mean, where can you put one of those. ?? :/

The Sims 3 just posted this on their Facebook page. Link

Is it really coming out this early?

YES.

Its not as if they did not announced the release date when they announced the expansion ... Oh, wait ...

Sorry to burst your bubble, but no DJ booths in the game most likely means no DJs, period. We aren't getting them. But you almost had me for a moment. I wish you were correct, lol.

That glassy thing behind the guy in the white suit actually looks like a decanter set, though, I'm sure it's just decorative.

Is it just me, or is this thread attracting whiny bickering rather any actual contribution to the game's whereabouts? So what if the game's not perfect, nothing in this putrid world is, that doesn't give people any excuse to waste 33 pages...

Well it does feel like they're coming sooner than you think! I can't believe FL is out in a week! Doubt I'll be getting it at though.....

How does time fly when school drags it down so much???

Just like the game isn't perfect, no one is perfect. People are always going to argue about something, we can't all enjoy the same things.

On a better note, late night looks really good from what i saw so far. It seems better than the last two EPs but Ambitions was pretty good. Im sure the stock ticker and the decanter are all decorative though

Love Potions. Me likey. I like the fact that there will be drums better than I like the piano, honestly.



Expansion of sports career to include races? Sounds cool. Although I suspect it'll be a rabbit hole race.



The directing/acting career is like ambitions = not a rabbit hole! Yay!



All in all it sounds pretty cool.



So they are keeping the sandbox attitude and letting us move where we want.

I like the FX machine effecting weather. Could really into the ecting career. If I see a video camera object and a scene, I'll be sold. But, I really do wonder about the new Athlete and Rockstar expansion. What they'll be doing and such.

Well music is pretty obvious, they'll probably have to go play some gigs, as for sports.... I have no clue

Look! the Butler!

On the other hand, thirty-three pages full of ass-kissing isn't all that flattering either. In other words, people have just as much of the right to bitch and moan as they do to kiss up. Complaints have actually helped with the game in the past. What does kissing up do?

When I purchase a product from a store, I expect the best customer service as possible after shelling out the money for the item. This, in turn, allows the store to thrive and have returning customers. When you kiss up, the store will never know what is wrong with it, in the case of any flaws and what have you. I'm pretty sure that I'm not alone in this; though, it's perfectly fine for anyone to disagree since it's their money, not mine.

Unfortunately, we do not have another option when it comes to Sims. It's either as is or nothing. And let's face it, the game is still more fun as is then without its existence, despite the fact that I have been tempted to give up on Sims several times. EA knows this, so they can do whatever they like because they will win in the end. It's our own fault for buying the game.

I don't know where you get your misinformation but the fact is they do plan in detail. There were corporate guidelines in place before TS3 development began. EA is a publically traded global gaming company and not a game theory student creating a game at home. Get real. They not only plan in detail while developing the game play but the information is distributed internally for non-play considerations such as marketing, legal issues, and costs--these factors are all analyzed while the product is being developed --not after the fact. And there's more thought given along planning lines when it is an update of an already established game. The bar has been set regarding sales and profit and they need to raise it to keep investors.



So you feel it is too bothersome for EA to give us as much effort as they have in the past? Seems like the "point" ship sailed without you...



Would those be meat by-products?



You don't need a shell RH to have a career. You do know that, right?



No, I wasn't. I was commenting on how bloated the game was with repetition and useless content. Shoot, there goes that boat again…

Late Night sounds interesting to me for the apartments. But what does that mean? Will we get a new tool to zone the apartment areas, or are these apartments modules?

MTS should have a search this topic function.

Edit:
Nevermind, I clicked through the pages and did ctrl + f to find 'apartment.' They need to release more information on the subject. The thought of building our own apartment on a lot and moving in up to 8 sims ( like TS2 AL ) evokes joy. But this would need a landlord, a new tool, and new objects. The promo's for Late Night aren't hyping these things. Until more info spills out, it feels uncomfortably bleak for apartments.

I can read Dutch, and Google translated the statement about the Director/Acting career being an Ambitions career wrong. The actual Dutch used in the article is very ambiguous there and while the Director/Acting career is mentioned, the "Ambitions" career type is mentioned totally separate from it. What I'm trying to say is that this article doesn't give conclusive evidence as to whether the Director/Acting career will be open or a rabbithole as the writer used some pretty ambiguous and confusing sentences there (Maybe we could just ask him or her?).
