I am the centre of the universe: reason no. 85

The Sims 3 has been delayed until August because I am not even close to being mentally ready for it yet. I'm just that important. *snicker* The ego has landed.

Seriously, though, this wouldn't bother me in the least, and I think they should delay it to fix their countless, countless bugs, if they do exist (and, let's face it, they most likely do). However, I do feel bad for people who were getting really excited about it, and even pre-ordered it. *consoles cindyanne1* There, there. It will be okay.

I wonder if it's true? Seems likely to me. They delayed Spore for ages, didn't they?

I'm hoping this is true. I wasn't planning on making the jump at all, but I was a little worried about all my favorite cc creators making the jump and ceasing creating new shinies for Sims2. :}

I doubt I'll be ready to make a switch for my stories any time in the next year, but it being delayed would make my day. It seems quite late for them to make this type of delay. I thought they announced the delays for Spore and other games much further from the first announced release date.

That's an excellent point. It would be nice to hold the attention of our favourite cc creators for a while longer. Also, it still feels like I've just gotten into AL (and even FT), so I'm not even close to being finished with Sims 2.

It does seem late to make such an announcement, so I think there will be a lot of disappointment there for some people.

I'm also not ready to leave Sims 2 behind, especially where my story is concerned. It would be so tedious to set up a whole neighbourhood to the level my Greater Strangetown Area (S'town, Sim City, BV, LFT, and all thevacation spots) is right now.

I do think I will be happy about the lack of loading screens in The Sims 3, though. I was thinking about that just last night. I'm ready to lose the transitions between home and community lots.

Yes! The Sims 2 community WILL SURVIVE!
