THE HORROR: The REAL TS3 Scoop As It Unfolds

coltraz:
Regarding Fat Genes...I've seen some people say it breeds.

If you create a fat Sim or one is born chunky, does working out not put the Sim back into shape/thin? Or once a Sim is fat, is he fat forever? If so that's really stupid.

I've got a bug, methinks. Someone already mentioned this problem before, but I couldn't find the respective post. (Yes, I did search.)

So perhaps someone already knows a workaround for this one: My children won't get the traits I selected for them on age-up (toddler to children).

When you click on the trait, are you then clicking on the "up" button to move it into the box with the traits?  At fiirst I thought all one had to do was highlight the trait, but that wasn't the case.


Yes, I made sure the third trait was on the list, using the arrows. ;) It bugs me A LOT that it isn't working.

rufio:
Someone said earlier that there was a bug with assigning traits caused by having the Simology panel open when giving kids traits.  I don't know personally, though, since I haven't gotten to the point of spawning yet.  Does going to a different panel fix it?

Fake Edit: There is a tutorial. I remember getting angry about fitting some random couch into a already stuffed house because the tutorial told me to, despite the fact that the family already owned a fuckin' couch!
People still DO tutorials? Every tutorial in every game I have seen post 1990 has simply insulted my intelligence at every turn. I never bother with them anymore if they can be avoided.

It's also a bit cheap that so many objects seem to be slightly higher res versions of TS2 models.  I suppose it could take a long time to make new objects for them (although I have built some myself for TS2, so I understand the length it can take) but it smells a bit of taking a cheap option by using meshes built by the designers of the last game and slapping them into this.
Thing is, they did the same thing from TS1 to TS2. Took the same objects and just made them 3-D. That the same objects are available in TS3 does not surprise me.

I hate that there are no half walls. Most of my buildings involve lots of half walls.

- This "enforced legacy play" kerfluffle is getting blown waaaaayyy out of proportion, IMO.  Wishes aren't wants.  Promising isn't locking. TS3 isn't TS2.  Don't promise something you don't have time to finish.  Granted I don't see much point to not saving them but that's a far cry from "amg they're forcing me to play legacy style".

Try playing prosperity style and see what happens. Your sims will be having mystery children and/or moving out of the neighborhood without your consent, as others have had issues with. That's the real problem with not being able to play anything but ultra-traditional legacy style. Not the wishes. Not even the opportunity loss. Control loss.

Possible bug: I have a teen, about 12 days to YA, who has rolled the wish to move in with his girlfriend. Not really possible as a teen.

I don't know if this is a bug, but my sims don't seem to age at the same rate!  I made two sims in CAST, in one "family."  They started out as housemates, then got married and lived together for a while.  The other day they had a kid, then a few minutes later it said "Male sim is about to have a birthday!" and when I looked at the sims' age bars, he was 2 days away from his birthday, while the female sim had 8 days.  I'm playing on the default speed, and they were both young adults.  It's pissing me off; I don't want to have him be that much older.  

It's not that they aren't aging at the same right. CAS sims start at a random point in their age group. I've had ones start at the very beginning, and some at 7 days to age-up.

You are aware that in some countries they actually drive on the right-hand side?


Difficult not to be aware really, the better question might be to ask whether people are aware that in many countries people drive on the left hand side of the road.

Yes, it freaks me out. Especially when you are being driven around by a Jamaican cabbie who appears to be a wee bit drunk and likes to speed. Game is made in the US. USians drive on the right side of the road.

Major annoyance- why is my female toddler dressed in only a pair of cut off pants? I'm not shipwrecked. If I have to put up with the darn thing
I at least want it her to look half decent.  Seriously she's going to be a toddler for 7 days?  DNW!
So, I was in a wedding yesterday and while we were waiting in the limo bus for the bride to get her butt moving so we could, you know, make it to the church on time, her neighbors were sitting on their porch. The mom of the family was holding her toddler girl, who was waving happily...pantsless. Mom kept pulling her shirt down, as if her waist-length top was going to do anything. Nothing could hide that vag. Talk about DNW. With sim toddlers, you can actually click on a wardrobe with the toddler active to plan wardrobe. Your simmy toddlers can go shirtless or shirt-on, but luckily their vag will keep covered.
