Well, the next stuff pack to come from EA is confirmed as Mansion and Garden stuff.
It looks as though finally there will be some new plants to put in the garden s of our Sims!
Snooty has a small info page up here> http://www.snootysims.com/mansionindex.php?id=mansioninfo

I think I also spy a curved staircase (not spiral) through the mansion window in the first picture.

Finally! I can build my sims a good mansion and not have it look like crap.

... Of course, the "crap" part probably comes from my lack of designing skills, but I'm still looking forward to this so I have more options to choose from.

One of the latest screenshots from EA: http://thesims2.ea.com/images/about/sp9_screenshots/screenshot_13_big.jpg

Now is it just me or does it look as though you are going to be able to choose the colour of your mail box? Or do you reckon its just photoshopped to match the scene? I hope not.

gonk MORE expansions?! I thought it was all over....lol. I am going broke over here.

<_< if they're going this far, they need to go on ahead and make an um...*ahem* more risque version that's rated mature. But that will happen when pigs fly and Cher decides to give up sequins. Oh well.

This one isn't actually a full expansion pack, its just a stuff pack. You know, a collection of items with no new gameplay features.
There might be a few more of these before they stop completely.

xd It will never end....which is great. Sims always need stuff to do. Especially mine, lol. They're all flirtatious and suggestive with the dirty jokes and random kissing.

The official video has gone up on the main Sims2 website now> http://thesims2.ea.com/about/sp9_videos.php

Who reckons the Sim sliding down the stair railing near the end after it says "Live the LIFESTYLE" has been staged for the video?

At least my Simmies will be able to have nice gardens and parks now.

Bawwwww.
I'm gonna request this for Christmas.

Hopefully I'll get it.
Stupid economic recession D<

I'm kind of sad there's only like, three architect styles.
But it's only a stuff pack, after all.

Turns out its a semi-expansion pack. There are new animations and interactions as well as the new items!
Mailboxes CAN be recoloured and sliding down stair bannisters IS in the game as an autonomous action.

On the downside, as it is partly an expansion it also comes with the obligatory bugs that will need fixing in a patch.

If you find any you want to report you can do it here> http://thesims2.ea.com/community/qa_form.php

I thought they would drop The Sims 2 and concentrate on Sims 3, but it looks like they'll still make stuff for Sims 2.
Too bad I can't get it, I need to get all the other EPs first.
