"Into the Future" is a very underrated pack. They really went out with a bang. I love how much effort they put into turning every single asset in the game into a futuristic version, everything from taxis to phones to showers to beds. And the houses in Oasis Landing are great. Some of the best EA has done.

Ngl the very first time i saw the ep, i thought it was a nobody-wants futuristic ep.... But there are a lot actually! The feature that you can change the future, see your descendants, its something that i found very rich for story!
@westanimesims Жыл бұрын
From the looks of it, EA must have thought, "Hey since it's the last EP, let's go all out!" and went crazy with the nice modern builds. Most of the style is pretty futuristic and not 2010s future. Modern is not my thing but I do appreciate the modern done right.

@mygetawayart Жыл бұрын
Into the Future is tied for my FAVOURITE Sims 3 pack. I cannot overstate not only how pretty the pack it, but also how much fun it is! You have all those hologram appliances, you can make simbots, you can alter the future, you can meet your descendants and things like the Future Technology skill aren't just an extra you could do, you literally have to get good at that skill in order to have a pleasant experience, because you unlock better food and better quality food and drinks at the food synthesizer, you can fly around (essentially teleporting) with a jetpck without hurting yourself, you can go really fast with the hoverboard etc... Plus i love how much they stuck to the theme: the shower works with waves and your sim doesn't even have to get naked, you synthesize food without having to make it, you can program to have a specific dream in your sleeping pod, you can go up and down the floors with a tube that takes just two tiles, the cars are slightly levitating and soooo much more. Plus, as you've seen, they really pulled it off with the houses, you can't really find a really ugly home because they're all not only well built but well furnished aswell. They didn't fall in their usual "big mansion = big empty rooms" and they maintained a simple color consistency that really works, plus those little touches of color or neon light really seal the deal. I can't believe we went from this beauty to what followed a year later..............

@@Rekowcski tbh i can't wrap my head around why ITF isn't more popular, it's not even broken (**cough** **cough** *Island Paradise*) and it's full of fun content to mess around with, besides being probably the best looking pack for those of us into sci-fi and futuristic stuff.
@kacpernowak1535 Жыл бұрын
I agree with everything, and the fact that you can have multiple new careers in the future, new collectibles, dreams in a dream pod that give you temporary benefits etc. (I can't name all of the futuristic gameplay functions right now), +you can have quests and a small storyline from Emit Relevart, and they essentially changed almost everything to fully fit the futuristic theme (like even the gravestones, if you commit to it, you'll have every single item in its futuristic version, nothing will take you out of this experience), it's really impressive. I just think that it's either 1) people are not keen on this concept and 2) they don't explore enough of the pack to learn how much content it has. It's definitely one of the best packs ever made for The Sims, and my personal favourite from TS3.
