I know this is already old news by now, but I need to flail.
The first thing I did when I bought TS3 was to start waiting excitedly for an expansion. It even got to the point where I wondered whether I bothered playing at all until I got one (obviously I got over that), so of course I was pleasantly surprised when the new expansion pack got announced!
Though, I was also a bit disappointed by the fact that they chose to work on a previous expansion from TS2, Bon Voyage, instead of trying to create a new concept.
Still though, an expansion is an expansion and I was excited! Never mind that I didn't really even know what it was about. Until today!

Reading up on
simply_sims3 I discovered that it will be a lot of action going on. Real exploring, going into catacombs, meeting mummies and stuff like that. Like in Bon Voyage it will be three different locations, but this time the natives will actually be natives! Different in looks and behaviour, and if you breed with them the child will inherit it!
Of course, if you got the dough (which I hope my families have by November) they will be able to just go on a regular vacation.
Yay!
(now watch me trash it when I actually get my hands on it. That would be so typical of me xD)
On the note of expansions, I wonder how they will deal with pets this time around. I dearly hope it will be better than in TS2, that was just a disaster.
