But I already have nautical themed stuff in my game! AND it looks much better than that stuff.  Yep, I have pirate simmies living in a 'boat' in Strangetown's Downtown area of Lizard Rock!  |

Okay, so part of the ad for Family Fun on Snootysims says "redesign your living room with upscale nautical furnishings." WTF? Pirate chic? Nothing can be upscale if it reminds you of Cap'n Spanky's Fish n Chips Hut. That made me laugh.
I'm assuming they're going for Nantucket beach house-nautical as opposed to Pirate-nautical. More prep than pirate. I personally find the style pleasing, but I wouldn't decorate my own house in it. I'm more fond of an island feel when it comes to beach houses. I have a bit of a soft spot for rattan furniture... |

Remember how we all said that the brazilians lied the other time? And it turns out they are correct. They did get the game early.
So could this Swiss thingy be the same? Nope, they lied then, too, then fabricated evidence to cover it up after the fact when everyone got it. |

Absolutely. Who the hell is "raye1TS2", anyway? That's obviously a stupid name, which does little to inspire credibility. Get me a reputable source. |

I agree. Unlike raye1TS2's name, vibrateforyou inspires confidence. Her posts on the OFB prima guide are much more convincing  |

Just 'cause there's a guide doesn't mean there's a game. Prima might just be publishing random books.

Plus, if you do an Amazon.co.uk search for OFB, you can see that the Prima guide came out first (though no one will be able to get it for 4-6 weeks)! See below if you can't be bothered to load up Amazon.co.uk. The Sims 2: Open for Business Expansion Pack (PC CD) Platform: Windows XP

Wow, that advertisement REALLY wants me to buy the Family Pack now. Also, doesn't it strike anyone else odd that it's in English and not in the language that they speak over there? Could easily be photoshopped.
There's still hope for an expansion announcement though. That picture looks like it's on the back of the manual and not the jewel case. Perhaps they'll put an expansion announcement on OFB's jewel case when it gets released stateside.
I thought it was weird that it was in English, too. It looks ligit to me, though. That picture is one of those little cards they put inside the DVD-ish looking case like the one Nighltife came in. It's the same shape as the card advertising OFB was in the Nightlife case. At least where I live, there are no jewel cases with EP's anymore. I doubt there's going to be an expansion pack anouncement. |

BAH! Don't cave in to the family pack! It's just the latest scheme to sell you minimum product for the maximum amount of cash! Don't encourage them!

Snooty Sims posted about the Family Shopping Pack and the Glamour Shopping Pack quite a while back. http://www.snootysims.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=17778
I'll only be interested if the shopping packs add new behaviours - not just objects. There's loads of good quality downloads already floating around for free. I don't believe in wasting money.

Just had a report posted on thesims2 LJ community by someone whose brother-in-law manages a GameStop that his store is taking pre-orders for this Family Fun pack.
I'd be more enthused about the idea if I didn't keep hearing that the Holiday pack was buggy as all getout.
