They will only use the pool if appropriate dressed for it,
as opposed to magically pulling their swimsuits from their butts the moment

Well, now I've seen everything!  It's certainly never happened to any of my teens!  Maybe it happens if you use the Inteenimator?

I'm slightly skeptical of the viability of businesses like the salon....who, exactly, is your customer base? Not your sims, I hope! They probably look exactly like you want them to look!

I also notice that this newest promotional shot features a lack of sims being mean and nasty, unlike the first one. I do not approve.

Perhaps it has something to do with the graphics settings of the person who made the custom things? I guess if it was me I'd just go with whichever setting shows the majority of the skins the best way. I played for a long while on really low settings before upgrading my video card so I'm just glad to be able to see cinematics now and see the Sims with fingers and not paws, so I'm not quite sure if that's what the problem is, but it seems like it to me...

That's what I do!  I have loads of kids with combination names in my original Pleasantview, such as Donina (Don & Nina), Robson (Roberta & Grayson), Justella (Justus & Eleanor), Rima (Ricky & Marion) ... the list goes on.  Most of the names are invented, but some are real, such as Robson.  In fact, the majority of my born-in games have combo-names.  Sometimes I combine the names of grandparents instead, such as Mordon, who is the grandson of Mortimer & Don.  Sometimes I use strange combinations, which is why Castor & Allegra have Altaga (plus another I can't remember the name of) and Castor & Brittany have Barony.  The letters are all there, but not combined in an obvious way.  Occasionally I combine whole names, which is why the grandson of Skip & Daniel is called Spankideli.  I have great fun with this.

the stuff dosen't go anywhere, it stays in the house. normally when you move everything get removed from the house so if you move a family out and then back in you must redecorate



I wasn't to sure about getting NL, Uni was ok but it didn't really add much to the everyday life of my sims. NL is totally different (IMHO anyway) I love it! Before NL my sims rarely went to Community Lots, now they go all the time and it's faster to get there because you can chose the exact community lot you wish to go to before you go anywhere so theres less loading time. I like that my sims homes no longer appear to be surrounded by nothing and although I didn't care about them having cars before...it is wonderful to not have to wait for the damn taxi or car pool.

I play with free will on and I like the fact that now I don't have to always pick who my sims will fall in love with. I like the fact that they will now flirt more often on their own even though I do have to pay more attention specially in the case of my romance sims, which brings me to the Furious state, I know some don't care for it but I love it, a sim should be pissed off if they catch their "love" cheatin    The "not fair" part about the Furious state is when a sim catchs their "love" rejecting a flirt from another sim, they still get pissed off as if their love did cheat, sadly I know some real people who were so jealous that they would react the same way so although it's "not fair" it is true to life *sigh*

Anyway, If I had to chose between Uni and NL then NL would certainly win without a seconds thought.

JM doesn't like numbers in people's names, so that's why they are banned from the forum.
