I asked Pescado...If I could share The TS3 Prima Guide

[Cheencheela]

You know what? We should all get together and make an Awesoma Guide, with all useful, accurate and USEFUL knowledge... (Enough useful? I THINK NOT! Useful, useful, awesomeradsauce information!)

Just downloaded it, nothing dodgy, just the guide in .pdf when you unzip the files.

[McCrea]

The version in the rapidshare link in the first post is crap.  Which means, it's slightly blurry, which is evident when looking at the quality of the Pyro branding compared to the actual content.  I assumed I finally had glaucoma the first time I read it.

Just pointing the fact out so that we can track down a perfect one, like the torrent in the previous post to mine.  Not many seeders.

Judging by your previous posts and avatar, I'd say "we" doesn't include you. You should have just cut to the chase and said "those more awesome than me".

[Erry]

Why thank you. 

Now I can keep my MONIEZ from EA. :3

[OpiumGirl]

Thanks for posting this here! I would have missed it anywhere else.

LMFAO?......LAFFIN MY FAT ASS OFF.....HOGWATHA....HAWGGY HAWG

Heh. Nice to see you here x

[McCrea]

Thanks for shiny management Miss Malevolent.

EA.  Brilliant.

Thank you for the PDF version. I tried to download this with my discount coupon that I got with the OverPriced Collector's Edition. ($20 for a 2GB plumb bob, what was I thinking?) Of course, the discount code doesn't register or reflect in the price at checkout. And, there's no Mac OS version. I like this download version much better for the price.

To be honest, I'm a little surprised that the shared stuff (i.e. Sims Store material) is being displayed so openly, even here.  Generally that's restricted to the sister site, which is not usually directly named.

What's the sister site, if you don't mind my asking? If it's as amazing as this forum has been at helping me get through Sims 3 without killing myself, I want in.

[BastDawn]

What's the sister site, if you don't mind my asking?

It's PMBD.  The booty has been good for the community in my opinion, but the forums are far, far less Awesome -- although you'll still want to lurk for a bit to get the feel of things before posting.  Get your game help here, and go there if you want to rant about paysites.

[witch]

And don't take any shit from Pottymouth Paden. She thinks she's the Bees' Knees and the Ducks' Nuts of PMBD.

Why don't you just go to a store, pick up the book, read some of it, and put it back? From what I've heard about this book, and what I know about Prima guides in general, 5 minutes should be enough to get all the useful information.

Wah wah, the quality of something that someone on the internet took the time to upload for me, and provided to me for free, is slightly reduced!

* lowbart holsters his flamethrower.

I dunno. I'm just going to take a look at it to get a better idea of whether I want to pirate the game after JMP finishes his first TS3 Director's Cut.

We don't have any Sims Store material here. What users post and find on other sites is not something we can control. On PMBD, the discussion of such would simply be offtopic and wind up straight in Sharkbait as a result, as PMBD has a specific and narrow focus.

Wal-Mart has theirs in freaking cases.

Bullshit questions; bullshit answers:  I'm too lazee to get my ass off the computer to get the store.  Doubt I even remember how to open a book, let alone read 50 pages per minute as you recommend.  That's gotta be hazardous, surely approaching maximum paper-cutage.

READ AGANE "Just pointing the fact out so that we can track down a perfect one."  Poor version was linked.  I said so.  Good version is now linked.  Don't argue with success.

High crime rate at your Wal-mart? They are just laying around in a rack at mine.

They're in a case at my nearest one, too. XD They even insist on carrying it to the register for you. That's some important $15 there, apparently. >.>

Thanks for this I wasn't even gonna get it...Now I'm still not, but I still have it XD

Yeah, it's the same way at my Wal-mart. Target isn't quite as paranoid, but their version is shrink wrapped so as to prevent someone from actually (God forbid) perusing the book before reading it.

[Tsarina]

To peruse means to read thoroughly. One does not peruse a book while in the store.
But anyway, I thought books were usually shrink-wrapped because of sexually explicit content. What the the hell do they think there's in this guide? 

[McCrea]

To peruse means to read thoroughly.

I intended to say thank you very much for correcting this common misunderstanding.  But rather than trust you outright, I looked it up.

peruse
1 a: to examine or consider with attention and in detail : study
b: to look over or through in a casual or cursory manner
2: read ; especially : to read over in an attentive or leisurely manner
EDIT:  I can't get my head out of dictionaries.
dictionary.com suckz.  1.to read through with thoroughness or care.  2.to read.  3.to survey or examine in detail.
dictionary.cambridge.org    -- to read through something, especially in order to find the part you are interested in:
It seems to be about 50/50 on thoroughness.    What a stupid word.
I now figure I have to poke you for erroneously correcting someone.
So, get poked, tard.

The shrink wrap is also there to protect the book in some cases. Player's guides suffer a lot of damage in store by people who really just do not give a shit.
