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 read something, somewhere by an EA bod that they will always natural tend to revert to their created 'default' size. So if you create them fat, they will always tend to slowly revert back to being fat.
Kind of like real life. Or mine and Oprah's and Kirstie Alley's, anyway.
One of the lifetime reward thingies is a fast metabolism that'll help keep that from happening.
Re: assigning traits, I haven't had any problems with my 3 spawn. Don't know if I'm just lucky, or doing something differently than some other folks.

What effect does the class have? Gain one skillpoint automatically? I imagine this is more useful when you are already high in the skill and skillpoints are harder to come by.
The classes can't be taken when you're already up there in the skill level. I figured it'd be a faster way to learn it that way too, but nope.

Does anyone know if the favorites are supposed to do something? I had a sim eat his favorite food and listen to his favorite
station, but I didn't see any moodlets pop up or anything special.

- 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.
Yup, I've since taken that comment back. I made it while I was playing only one sim and not really noticing what the rest of the hood was doing. I've been playing prosperity style in TS2 recently, but only because it's the only way to get my hood to evolve fairly realistically. I like the idea that sims you're not playing will age. I love the idea of my sim kids knowing their cousins or growing up and still being friends with someone they've known since childhood and so on. But after a few generations in TS2 that gets reaaaallllllly cumbersome to do.
I am opposed to the mystery children though. My first generation 2 adult sim is now trying to get married and one of her love interests has 2 children whose only relations are their father and each other. No mother. I just really hope it works as intended in the official release.

This makes sense! I was wondering why I suddenly couldn't go to City Hall to up my charisma level to become President/Leader of the Free World! Sarah Palin kept getting antsy standing in front of the mirror all the time...
