New Update Coming & The Sims 3 Create a World Tool - Beta!

Happy Holidays Simmers!
We wanted to let you know that a new Game Update for The Sims 3 and the release of The Sims™ 3 Create a World Tool - BETA will be coming this month. Updates are the primary way for us to offer new features for your games, address any issues, and keep you up-to-date on the latest information to support online features. The upcoming December update will include several items, but we'd like to tell you today about one new feature specifically that we're really excited about.
Introducing - Shop Mode! You heard right folks. The December update will introduce a button that will allow you to shop from The Sims 3 Store from inside your game. This new feature will enhance your shopping experience at The Sims 3 Store and allow you to access The Sims 3 Store via Shop Mode from the main menu, build or buy mode or during Create-a-Sim. As you purchase new items, they will be added to your catalog, while your game is running. You can browse the full Store catalog directly from your game and purchase furniture, décor, hair, clothing - without ever closing your game. This is a really exciting new experience for The Sims series, and we look forward to sharing with you!
Create your own worlds for The Sims 3 this December!
Create and share unique new worlds that you design with The Sims 3 Create a World Tool - BETA. Download for free and step into the shoes of The Sims 3 development team by using the same tools the team uses to create worlds and towns for The Sims 3.
Stay tuned for specific details on the Game Update coming in December including everything it will provide and more news around Create a World Tool - BETA.
Thanks,
The Sims 3 Development Team
I think that this update is going to cause problems - again (Surprise, surprise). New items? I can live with that?
Shop Mode - What. The Hell.
Who would use that? And it's probably going to slow the game down as it may constantly be trying to connect to the server. And what about the people who got the free store items from here? Will the Shop Mode add on scan for invalid store items every time you load it and tell you to remove the items? I may be pessimistic about this update but I don't think there has been a single patch without problems. Oh yeah, will Shop Mode complicate Awesomemod (If thats more possible, a mod that good has to be complex)?
Papercut:
Shop Mode sounds craptastic. And I don't want new items because the trade off will mean an even more broken game. EA updates are the devil's work.
On the other hand, I do want Create a World. I heard this piece of L&P was supposed to be released today, but I suppose I can wait a bit longer. I really want to make a more urban/compact hood than Sunset or Riverview. Having looked at the screenshots, this tool looks pretty good - much, much better than using SC4 to make terrains.
If it turns out to be as good as it looks, then I won't even hold a grudge against EA for not giving us neighborhood tools from the outset.
ElectricSimmer:
Yeah, I want Create - A - World as well to make something a bit more densely populated and Belladonna Cove like (Small city-ish). The patch I don't want. Guess its a packaged deal: No patch, No CAW.

The Horror, The Horror!
I say no to Shop Mode. The launcher is a slow enough piece of utter crap when installing items, then now they're inciting you to buy and download while running the game? Expect to see more errors and crap.
Create-A-World, however, will be greatly appreciated. I can finally make a small neighborhood like our tiny rural.
J. M. Pescado:
I'm sure that Spyware Mode is something I am going to have to hunt down and kill. Because the last thing anyone needs is an ET PHONE HOME button, likely positioned in a spot you can frequently and accidentally press like that annoying movie-filmer button, which will instantly reveal all of the personal details of your game and computer to the EAxian masters.
