As long as this expansion comes with or after apartments and taking over territory are finished I am happy, and if you finally fix that stupid light in the Rompa Bar and use that extra whompa in omni-ent I will be overjoyed.
But please do not do the same thing that Maxis is doing with The Sims, there are tons of upgrades(the sims: Livin' Large, House Party, Hot Date, Vacation or whatever, and I think a The Sims Online is coming within a few years). then they are creating Simville, but no one has any idea what it will have, or when it will be released.
