Because even pregnant people would eat just about anything smushed together?   EAxis' logic is beyond me.

Hum, my baby is due in two days, I WANT TO EAT ATRAGIC CLOWNFISH SUNDAE!

   They could've been a little less ignorant. I thought TS3 was supposedly a step in a more realistic direction?

I don't understand why some wishes are worth different values.  I don't remember that ever being the case for TS2.  Anyone know why this may be?

So, I noticed someone mentioned a pink diamond and a missing ore - has anyone actually gotten these?  I'm beginning to suspect that they don't really exist.

Yes, I think as someone else mentioned, my sims always have to resort to stalking attractive teenagers until they turn into YAs. It is really creepy, but I've never been succesful at the "ask X to break up with Y" option.

My Sim's car which she'd saved a lot for disappeared. I didn't notice it being stolen, so I wondered if it had happened as a result of story progression being enabled. Anyway she went to visit another Sim who was the child of another Sim I made myself, and I noticed her car on the drive! I forgot I gave her the klepto trait. When I had her click on it she was able to drive back home in it and it went back on her drive. So if a kletpo nicks your car, if you find it you can claim it back again!

I find that, after building everything from starter huts to small mansions, that create-a-style plus the objects included are more than enough to create what I want. Seriously, CAST is one of the best aspects of the game. You just click... and drag... and you have a matching bedroom set!

The only objects I miss are the money-making OfB/FreeTime ones (but I didn't expect them and don't really care since you can search the galaxy for $5,800, potentially--way more than TS2!) and the eggchair/lipcouch. I am sure that the first expansion will add them since both Livin' Large and University added the requisite redonk items.

...did I just type "redonk?"

A tiny thing, but the spelling mistake jumps out at me immediately like it was lit up with Christmas lights:

LOL at that. The hairs for "meant" for the us Black people are hilarious especially the braids for men, they made my whole family P&L and the short hair cuts ugghhh can we say hair club for men circa the mid 80's.

Thanks for clearing that up. still greedy and made to phail to but a little more digestible. I also found more screenshots, this time of the hairstyles, 'cause I simply hate the lack of decent hair styles across the board. These are a little better.

Why use a key + a click, when you can just use a click, noob?  Fail.

I don't know if anyone else has seen the IGN article but they have several screenshots of the TS3 store and I had to come and make sure I have my equation correct.

OK for anyone who knows: the $10 worth of points given to those that pre-order or some other shit is how many points? Some places are saying 100 points and some saying 1000.

Some of the sets are ridiculous and could have just been put in the base game. I mean c'mon we're going to arrrrr the shit out of the stuff any way but make it where some people would feel bad enough and pay for it.

Far as I can tell, there's fewer. No clothing store means no changing booths, so that one's gone. Basically the only things left that Sims were able to woohoo in in TS2 are beds and cars, and I haven't tried the cars yet.

And I have no idea which baby it is, since at current count they have six boys. Six. Christopher has never gotten the girl he wants, poor guy. Since his wife is five days to elder and the eldest is 3 days to young adult, he never will. Gotta love 1.5% odds.

I was just reading above my post about custom textures. I was wondering if, once we are able to, will there be a restriction on how many files we will be able to store?  I am not playing an arrred game because I phailed at being a pirate, the shame will haunt me for at least another two weeks.    Or until the brownies are out of the oven and I have appeased my inner child.    Soo, I am assuming the OP was speaking of the custom textures that were created within the game, not ones that have been imported for use. The fact that once a few have been saved is causing a lag in loading times makes me wonder if we will be restricted on how many we can have at any given point.

Can you recolor everything with the color wheel? Not just in CAS but in actual playing? (I'm sure thats stupid, but I'm wondering about the logistics of how it works) Any chance of a screen shot or something?

The town will populate itself, but it doesn't appear to be an event that takes place rapidly.

From #grah this afternoon:

[15:16]   <jfade>   Also, this shoots those people saying this is a beta in the foot:
[15:16]   <jfade>   <packagedate>05/14/2008 13:20:18</packagedate>
[15:16]   <jfade>   that's saved in a resource within the package.

If that is indeed it's function, what would happen if you killed Mortimer?

I was actually wishing for this earlier!! Most people don't have evenly distributed fat.

There's no constant source of wants either, sometimes you have more than enough, sometimes none.

I was thinking in the sims in ads not being in the game. Why do EA create all this characters (Magnus, kim, marcela, the render girl) and doesnt put them in the game? Maybe it is a beta after all... 

In general im enjoying the game. i also use to play just one house, so no problem with that. One thing i find strange: all the watches, rings, etc, are just for one hand??

Do we know if its the Beta or Final yet?

Anyone installed on the mac yet, or I am I going to be #1 guinea pig this evening?
