TS3 L&P

Uh, what? I haven't posted in this thread.

[GayJohnScarritt]

That's interesting to know Kutto (mildlydisguised), because I found SimSocial interesting.

I found SimSocial a waste of my time.  Played for a week and got bored.  The only thing I found at all interesting, was the sliders to adjust my sims clothes.

[Inge]

Ok how come people are managing to post in this new Sims 3 forum http://forum.thesims3.com/jforum/forums/show/14.page when it won't let me post unless I register with a valid game serial number?

[Zazazu]

Did you register for VIP? I did, but didn't get anything further than my welcome note.

ETA: Did you see this, though? Looks like EA staff have already been caught making fun of their customer base. That's assuming that Lionseatsnakes is a mod, which I'm not sure that I buy.

Oh, and you can register without serial code. Read more.

[mildlydisguised]

I can post in it.  There was an option to reserve your screen name for the TS3 site a while back, I'm pretty sure all those people aren't EAxis employees, just fans though.

Uh, what? I haven't posted in this thread.

Yes but kutto and mildlydisguised are such similar words.  Is it any wonder that she got confused?

[Inge]

Yes I did that thing about reserving my name.  But the new site prompts me for my email address when I log in, not my screen name.

[mildlydisguised]

I just used the email address that is linked to my EA account.

[Inge]

So did I.  I can see all the Reply buttons etc and it lets me create the post, but when I hit submit it pops up one of those grown-up looking login boxes, you know the sort you get when you are an admin of a windows server?

[mildlydisguised]

Hmm.. no idea then.  I just went and created a test post in general discussion to see if I actually could and it let me.  I do get the 'grownup' login box if I try to access any of the rest of the site though.

Perhaps they've marked you out as a troublemaker already Inge and banned you from posting

[wes_h]

Posts at the site indicate if you change the initial letter of each field in the URL, i.e. /exchange to /Exchage, you can view pages without having an authorization (copy shortcut, open new tab, paste in address bar and edit).

I was unable to actually download any files, although there appear to be 18 Sims already uploaded.

You have to use thwe "quick Reply" to reply. The other method doesn't work.

I was trying to quote and reply to a post, maybe that is why it wasn't working?  What's the point of having lots of shiny buttons that don't work?

I did.  But now Quick Reply isn't even appearing for me.

[witch]

You broke it Inge!

[LFox]

Anyone come across this?  I saved it in case they decided to make it go poof.



Anyone check out the clothing section?  There is some REALLY ugly crap in there already.

[Zazazu]

The page ends in /materials, not /patterns. The clothes are awful, but I'm sure everything was just slapped together to test the upload/download mechanism. What disturbs me more is the fuzziness of the previews.

[FourCats]

yes.
This 404 page was what I wanted to post about on that distinguished forum. Then I noticed that the so called moderators, were posting stickies of gibberish.  I tried to flag them inappropriate, but when you do that you have to tell why, and spam/nonsense was not an option. 

[Chloe]

Hm, I can't see any of the topics in the Forum.  I can see the member lists and it SAYS there's topics there, but they aren't showing up for me.

[MissQ]

That's interesting to know mildlydisguised, because I found SimSocial interesting. Might go look up Kudos.

[Edit to correct reply - totally brain dead.]

PCGamer must have got an advanced copy of the Sims 3.  To my surprise the July 2009 issue which came already had a review of The Sims 3.  So I scanned it.  You can get the article in PDF or a RAR of JPGs.  Pick your flavor.  I hope I didn't waste my time scanning and editing this article.  Tell me your reactions.

If mirrors are needed tell me where to upload it.

[Inge]

Those "fake tech support questions", why are people saying they have been made up by moderators?  Looked like normal users who just happened to stumble upon the forums like us.

Nice little read, it had some good info.  I'm definitely curious to see what the other careers will require you to do to get promoted.

[Marhis]

Looks like the new TS3 forum is based on phpBB. I don't know if it's a good or a bad thing.

[mildlydisguised]

Thanks for scanning the article.  The careers do sound much better than TS2.  And gaining a new interaction as a career reward is an interesting spin on the TS2 skill objects.

I had a feeling the path finding would still be an issue.  I wonder if that is why they chose to have most of the community lots as rabbit holes.


Also there is news on the first EP from the brazillian hands on event

O Sim BR is currently attending the Sims 3 Brazilian Fanday event, and they've just received word of a tidbit on the first Sims 3 expansion!  They spoke to the manager of Marketing for EA and were told that it will have something to do with job occupations and work!

Quote from Sim Programs

I really hope it includes OFB type features.
