People have been asking for custom content Way before anything on the first page. mainly because custom content is new content. These "Pictures on a Stick" you refer too are just phase one of custom content and I, as well as many others, have a lot of ideas for them. No, it's not something that will change the gameplay immediately, but anyone who's creative can come up with some new game using them. I've actually got a few thought up.
The lowering of the starting funds and payouts I agree was a little much at first, but the point was to fix the economy. I feel like I am the only one who can see what theyre doing. Everything, price-wise, is becoming more realistic. Object prices are going down to relatively close to what they would be in real life money if not lower. Sure, just lowering payouts and starting funds and not lowering the costs of everything would be horrible, but I understand what they are doing, and I KIND OF like it. I can also see the point of where people wouldn't like it, but right now I am arguing for the good of it.
CntryGrl, I remember you begging for them to implement a version where you could get into Test Center 3 without having to delete a sim, and it looks like thats what happened. Sure, it may not have come as fast as you planned, but it still happened.
Besides the "tradable house deeds" from the blue-prints being added I see a couple more things coming. Objects from the sims and expansion packs are being added. not yet, but theyre working on it. MERGING ALL OF THE CITIES. Sure, we wont be able to keep our simoleans. Boo hoo. But seriously? I can understand why not. It would ruin the new economy. ONLY STORES BEING ABLE TO BUY FROM THE CATALOG definately on the wiki definately implemented and guess what? that affects the economy!
I could go on for a while, but I need to get some sleep.
