THIS IS SO EXCITING

Watching other people perpetrate a bit of mischief brings a grin to my face :)

First Impressions:
1. LACK OF SECUROM IS TOTAL LIECAKE: Game attempted to phone home and whined about activation when DENIED. YOU CAN HAZ SECUROM!
Is anyone here at MATY surprised? Nope, didn't think so.

2. Selection of available CAS things VERY limited compared to TS2. For instance, you CANNOT EVEN BE PROPERLY BALD ANYMORE. See if you can guess how I noticed THAT so fast.
Probably so they can sell us these things in EPs or via the online store. Either that or to support some crappy deal EA made with T$R.

3. Enforced Legacy-playstyle: Switching to a different household forfeits current status. At minimum, all wants and progress towards wants will be lost.
This has been the big DO NOT WANT from the community for months, years even, ever since news of this first leaked/was released in early interviews and articles. Every sims site I've visited has raised this point as a major DO NOT WANT. Why did EA not listen?

4. Shiftclick very limited compared to TS2.
Yeah, we might start breaking out of the limited parameters they've set for us. This is EA's game dammit, not a sandbox / doll house / story teller / movie maker for the players. EA shall maintain complete control of what players can and cannot do in the game. Even if that means sales suck. EA will just blame the sales suckage on the early release of the pirated copy. Time to put on your tinfoil hats, because I'm wondering if someone in EA's corporate structure didn't authorise the leak to pirates, just to cover their asses if/when the sales suck.

5. Navigation is an extremely ARGH-inducing experience, reverts back to pre-Manual Navigation annoyance where you have to babysit a sim to its destination before you can tell it what to do there.
Well, obviously it's gonna suck with pre-awesome suckage. You haven't had time to begin to awesomize it yet. It sounds like it may not be worth the effort.
J. M. Pescado:
I have updated my continuing impressions in first post.
Emma:
I am really enjoying the fact that Pescado is playing an unmodded game. LULZ!
Seriously though, I am because by the time I get it, hopefully there will be some 'fixes' available.
Yeah, I know...'Death To EMMA'.
