According to Wikipedia it looks like that's going to be the next expansion pack.

I was going to say this is something I wouldn't buy. But then I read the world 'Merpeople'.

Curse you, my love for mythological critters. |:

.....
I.... I must get this. I just..... how could I possibly even resist?.... unless you can't be one of the merpeople...
still seems like a cool expansion pack though
 
played sims 2 for gamecube and many years later sims 3 for xbox 360 I don't know how people can play it so much and buy every expansion it gets really, really, really, boring after awhile. I need to take a 5+ year break to enjoy it again.

Yep. It's been confirmed that there will be mermaids released in Island Paradise.
:)

I just got Sims 3 University on Thursday. :D It's really fun, one of the best ones yet i think. (^_^)

That's what i was thinking, aha i mainly get the games for collecting purposes, i dunno why it just feels good :3

Ah and the game gets painfully boring after playing for a little while that's another reason why expansion packs are good. But i mean EA could seriously do more with them. I'm just really looking forward to the Sims 4 (really really hope there is online)

Aren't dlc packs just additional furniture/clothing or a new setting? The game is still pretty much the exact same though.
 
The best Sim City. <3

The new one I heard is fun...if you ignore all of its issues.

Yeah, there's a lot to it. Just the server issues are the biggest thing.
One thing that I've heard about is the fact you cannot actually be self sufficient with you City. That you HAVE to play and get help from other players if you are to do so. Sure you can play by yourself in the region, but that'd lead to getting confused and not knowing what you're to do in each city.
If anyone is to get the game.. get it later, when the issues have been fixed. That or just play the SNES version again.

There's also some traffic issues.

My lowest density street, flooded with buses, including some from Justin

Fire trucks all like to respond to one single house fire. And u-turn along the way a few times.

And this is how buses like to exit my town. Sometimes with some extra u-turns.
 
One video I saw showed hundreds of people walking down the streets together, ending up going into the same trailervan. I don't know if they were all family or if it was a big party, but it was hilarious.
 
I've been watching someone play the new Sim City game. Seems to be working pretty alright. I might just get the game eventually. It looks like a lot of fun!

As nice as the new one is, I wouldn't overly recommend it. Instead maybe take a look at either SimCity 2000 or SimCity 4.
 
I've been playing The Sims for pretty much most of my life at this point, and I've enjoyed all of them, but there is this common trend in the way I play each incarnation of it and I don't know if anyone else has this problem.
I get really excited to play and I devote practically a whole week or so to playing with my new family, and then I don't touch the game anymore. Not unless I get a new expansion pack, and then the cycle starts up again. It seems inevitable that I'll get bored of it within a week or so :(
 
Which one would be the best for a beginner? I've never played a Sim City type game before.

Best for beginner? SNES. There's less to have to worry about in your city, but it's still decent. It's on the Wii Virtual Console if you don't want to go about finding an old cart/system.
 
Thanks, Andy! I still have an SNES, so I'd just have to hunt around. Maybe ask my brother to hunt around when he goes out looking for old games. I don't really have any way to buy games off of the VC yet.
