Of course it is a con. Its like other games that release "expansion packs" like AOE, just to get you to pay more.

AoE's expansion packs are fairly respectable though. The Sims' aren't.

"Bustin' Out" is the sequel to the console versions of "The Sims" (I think)

The whole franchise sucks. EA are just trying to make money out of selling add-ons to obessive idiots who like tedious games.

And there's a second one coming out as well, which means even more expansion packs. WHY Do they have to waste time on this rubbish, and not make a new Need for Speed??? :(

Because to make a new Sims add on, all they have to do is go onto a few websites, download a few things, change them slightly to avoid copywrite issues and then stick them all on a patterned CD. Cheap and quick. And for some reason, they sell.

I think that's partly due to the fact (according to research) the Sims is very popular with women.

There's nothing wrong with making money out of games, it's just the fact this is a shyte game.
