THE HORROR: The REAL TS3 Scoop As It Unfolds
fiberglassdolphin:
I got my retail game, now. My experiences:
Bugs:
If you make a Sim a second outfit in the same category, the second overrides the first.
Annoyances:
What numbskull designed genetics? I was making a kid for two Sims in CAS, and most of the time the child seems to be a clone of either the mother or father (and it's really obvious because the dad was black and the mother was Asian). When I finally got one that seemed to have traits from both, he had hazel eyes even though they both have brown.
Why do families you aren't controlling age so quickly? I have "long" lifespan selected (for the very purpose of keeping families from aging too much while I'm not playing them), but when I got Dorie Hart pregnant, she had a baby ready to age up the next time I played the family, after being away for probably less than a sim day. Babies in long lifespan mode have 15 days, right? It's both fast and erratic, because the baby was ready to age up at the same time as the teenager Bebe, who had 8 days to go until young adult, but had not grown up. I hope this is a bug and not a feature.
This probably happened before I had turned off Story Progression mode in the beginning, but just as described throughout this thread, a single male Sim cloned a baby without my permission. Were some of the programmers retarded monkeys? Story Progression could be neat, but only for townies and other families I don't care about, and only when there are two Sims of the opposite sex present to create the babies.
Also:
It looks like same-sex marriage is still in the game. I got the option to propose marriage after making the Single Moms fall in love (which was ridiculously easy; there must have been some sexual tension there before I came along). There's also Gobias Koffi, a single male whose family description obviously suggests that he's gay. The description is a bit nebulous, but not enough to keep away the complaints of parents who want to preserve their delicate snowflakes' ignorance of the homos. I'll repeat what's probably being said a lot around the webs: The Sims 3 is much gayer than its predecessors.

Which is one thing we can say is a step in the right direction, atleast. Although the MalePreg in game already is a little odd.

Oh yeah, another slight annoyance: you can't copy/paste from The Sims 3 to another program and vice versa. I was going to save some hex color values in a text document to match the top and bottom of a bikini, but no luck. That might have been a temporary glitch, though, because I remember that happened on and off in The Sims 2.

Ctrl + C, Ctrl + V doesn't work?

Nope, that's what I tried. Does it work for everyone else? It could just be an intermittent glitch like it was in TS2.
