The current poll, which asks whether playing The Sims 3 Pets Create a Pet demo affected your decision to get the full expansion pack, has been extended again to Tuesday 10th January due to a lack of votes. If you haven’t voted yet, please be aware that you do not need to have played the demo in order to vote — think of it as asking whether you played it or not. If you have voted, the results will be revealed on that previously mentioned date, as long as enough votes have been received.

Current Poll Extended To 27th December; Forms Hopefully Fixed
Wednesday 14th December 2011 | 8:24 pm
UK time | Categories
I couldn’t close the poll as planned yesterday due to a lack of votes. For once, there actually appears to be a reason for this — the system the forms ran on has stopped working. So I’ve moved both forms to new systems which hopefully work. That means you should now be able to vote if you haven’t already done so — if you previously attempted to vote and saw a confirmation, your vote went through so you do not need to vote again. As long as I’ve received enough votes by then, the poll is now due to close on Tuesday 27th December, with the results revealed then.

A producer of The Sims 3 Showtime has posted some more details on TheSims3.com forums:
One of the new features we’re excited about in The Sims 3 Showtime is the capability of in-game messaging, so that you can communicate with your Simmer friends while you’re playing. If you prefer not to have this connected experience, then it’s easy enough to turn off this messaging.
We’re also adding a new achievement system where players can take on special challenges and as they accomplish each achievement, they will be awarded badges that will be shown off on their new player profile page.
