I saw this on MS3B and almost exploded! I know that it's only a rumor so far but the things that were found seem totally legit! This sounds AWESOME! I mean I know that the people who're into a more realistic take on the sims games may not like the idea of more fantasy/sci-fi/magic stuff in their games and would rather see something more realistic like a Seasons expansion. But for those of us who like supernatural stuff...WHAT MORE COULD YOU ASK FOR? This looks like it's going to be an entire expansion dedicated to Magic and fantasy! X3 I'm excited! It'll bring back more than just the few magic options from Sims2 Apartment Life, it'll be bringing back more of the old supe species of sims from University and Pets! I'm looking forward to hearing more about this so hopefully it doesn't disappoint. Ok...I'll stop my constant prattling and let you read the details.

Beekeeping Skill- there are smoker effects, and angry swarms of bees, as well as negative moodlets when a Sim has been stung by a bee!

Alchemy Skill/Cauldron Object- there is a cauldron bubbling effect. Potions can be drunk and thrown at other Sims. There many potion sizes, shapes, and effect descriptions, but they are impossible to understand, besides this one:
• Clone Drone Potion- the effect creates an adult Sim-sized cloud of a sparkly burst on the ground.
• Anti- Nausea Potion
• Energy Stabilizer Potion- For a period of time, your energy level won’t decay.
• Invigorating Potion- Drink to feel invigorated
• Lasting Skill Boost Potion
• Inducing Potion- Drink this to feel nauseous.
• Smelly Potion- Drink to stink!
• Zombification Potion- Become a zombie!

Potion Shop- it says that if you master Alchemy, “you will get discounts on items in the Potion Shop”, which is likely where you purchase ingredients.

Candle Station- There animations for candle flames flickering, the “candle station” starting, and wax dripping. There are actions to “Create Candle”, so I presume that you can make candels with the candle station.

Does sound really interesting :D But I bet there's alot of unhappy fans with the absence of seasons and weather lol

I hope they announce it officially soon >.>

Yea, there better be Seasons and ocean swimming.
I love the witches though.

I doubt theyll add seasons with this :/ But at least they're releasing an expansion that is isn't, for lack of better terms, "an expansion of another expansion". But if they don't have seasons next then I fear I'll lose all hope

You would think as much voice that has been made regarding season's they would have already incorporated it into the game. It's not like they can't do it with a simple update. But oh well...so many people will buy this possible new ep that EA won't care. They will always make money on this game!

I'm really excited about this EP too.

They have a lot of animations that are already in our games that could be used for seasons (snow, etc) - so it's definitely doable for them. EA is so lazy.

What is really getting me is the next stuff pack. It's going to be a Katy Perry stuff pack!!!!!!!!1 Maybe the items will be nice, but, ugh, seriously?

Wtfduge! Katy Perry?!!!!! Why in the world would I want Katy Perry stuff?!

I know right? Maybe an entertainer's stuff pack but not just Katy Perry. Her on the collections cover was enough. I love her and all, but no... lol

Yeah but i will get it just so i have all of the packs...I have fastlane too and i really do not think its worth the digital download price...not much to it. But i want my collection to be complete.

I don't know Robin (Dach) I'm not all about having every ep and stuff pack, I believe in getting what I will enjoy within the game. But I think it's cool that you will have the complete game. With Sims 2 I had maybe 1 stuff pack, Glamour life and maybe 2 ep's...can't remember which ones. This is the first Sim game that I've been so involved in regarding extensions. Sims 1 I had the party type of ep, where they could go out to dinner on dates but that was it.

Scary in a way...if there is a Sims 4 I will be hopelessly broke trying to keep up!! Example...food or fun....food or fun...

I'm not very sure about Katy Perry pack...maybe...but the magic one....OMG!!! YAY!!!

i want to get them all too, it nice to have the complete collection, it still cheaper than doing some stuff and i like how ea put lot of details in their clothes too. i do miss the cool magic, dragons, rides in magic from sim 1 too. it seem long ago now. sad sad sad. the new next expansion sound interesting to me .

I think I was/am so complacent in what games I own is because I have every single console sim game including gameboy and I even had the one on iTunes. Some are truly retarded but others have been fun. I've NO desire to purchase the recent console games...haven't even checked them out. After playing both console and PC I seem to enjoy the PC games more. More variations for one and just more fun!

I think if you wanted to be a true collector then I can see how getting every expansion and stuff pack goes into your favor.... I just hope you have the computer space to handle it all! I need to save up for a new laptop or Desktop. I play on a decent but mildy slow Windows XP desktop. It works fine but its still slower than I would like.....damn slow processors and low quality graphics. Lol

after that Katy perry crap- sorry for her fans but i gots say!
i will looooooove that expansion bec if they really put all these stuff, i'l just believe that they dont just wanna rip ppl off with lame stuff.. its gonna be awesome witches in ma gameee :D
