so, for those of you that have recieved it...

IMO, I like it, I think we get to see a few of the things we've wanted. For instance, there is a child in the pic, so at least we get a feel for what they will be looking like.

I enjoy the beautiful scenery of the mountains and beach, at least there's a big posibility they are going to be able to interact with it.

I can tell they've taken (so far, a lot of consideration with adding past EPs into the base game)
I also like the fact that they are putting more emphasis on making our sims interpersonal. The picnic screams family/friendly interaction.

Concerning EAs ability to shush us up with our first email before we went completely crazy?
Well, I wish there were more screenshots, and updates but at least we finally received it, and they have confirmed that our next one will be in the summer! So that was pretty curteous on their part to tell us when we should be getting one!

I'm looking forward to that.
