THE HORROR: The REAL TS3 Scoop As It Unfolds
Rockermonkey:
wooow crashes or worse...Whats the worst that can happen? The sims uninstall them selves and take over the computer? Really. Haha they make it sound like doomsday. You'll crash...or worse. *Dun, dun, dunnn*

Edit: Either this is a full version and like said many times before, they are covering their asses, because the game is crap... or it is infact, a pre-release of the final game, which would hopefully make sence as to why there are alot of issues with it.. and barely any content.
Build 1.0.631.00107 is the release that is coming next week. The pirate version is 1.0.615.00107.
EA has the first patch ready for the release game (x.x.631.x to x.x.632.x).
Ok I have no idea what a build is, so here are some stupid questions:
1. Does this mean we won't be able to patch the leaked game once the patch comes out?
2. What will happen to our saved games and exports? Could they be just copied over to final game's directories? Or will they be incompatible? I'm mostly interested in this, don't want to get involved if I won't be able to access my saves with final build.

Most likely you'll have to uninstall the leak, install the retail, then patch it. Of course we're going to have to wait for a cracked patched exe which may take awhile.
And I hope they work, I've built several houses and made a couple sims that I spent hours on and have played to great detail. I will strangle someone if they don't work. I believe they will because I doubt much is going to change in those newer builds.
In other news, man those ghosts sure do get around...
Rockermonkey:
I would think they would work, since builds are pretty much just patches if I'm correct. Oh, and by the way. By installing this is it still possible to install the purchased retail version and not worry about cracking it or anything. I know dumb question as it's most likely a yes, but just making sure. You can never be too safe ;]. I plan to buy it on June 2nd. So EA put a block on klepto's and they can only steal 3 times a day, that kinda sucks. I hope that's taken out in the final build because I like being able to do exactly what I want when I want, including stealing things for my little sim-klepto's. :)

TS3 is a goal-oriented game that forces you to play The One Fambly. ...Once you meet the goals a few times in the game, it gets boring. While the collecting is entertaining, briefly, now, it isn't going to stay that way.
I would generally agree with this statement. I am trying to resist the "scavenger hunt" playstyle, as well as the purely goal-oriented play. I will succumb only under duress. Do bad things happen if you don't run around finding seeds, gems, etc.? My new sim (Mr. Jesus H. Christ - story may be coming soon) has had severaly wishes fulfilled (skillinating, meeting new person), but I have been playing him more or less as a TS2 style sim. I see no particular reason to enslave myself to fulfilling his goals, especially if he's the only sim/family I get to play. So far, I am not noticing that I HAVE to play significantly differently. I am willing to entertain the notion that I will become annoyed with this yet. Am I missing something?

The ability to customize almost all objects / outfits / hairs is very good. No more mismatched Maxis fug.
I quite enjoy this feature as well. You should see Mr. Christ's lovely formalwear. The company that made the drapes for the Sound of Music kids could not have done better.
Is there any "attraction marker" thing going? So far, Jesus has met a couple of other sims, and "thinks X is okay". Doesn't sound like a rousing romantic endorsement to me, but they were rather fugly. He has also lost a fight to a neighbour - making enemies for fight can be done a lot quicker in TS3 than in TS2. Far fewer negative interactions are required to build that red enemy bar. This has to be seen as a positive development. Fights also seem to be resolved more quickly (Jesus' first ever fight lasted less than a 1/2 sim hour) - perhaps more testing is needed.
The Grim Reaper was more nicely cobwebby in TS2. The TS3 one is slim, black, sleek, and more cartoony. I like the ability to write an epitaph for the gravestone or urn/box. Also, when I killed off Pablo Martinez (or whatever his name was) by starving him suddenly in his bathroom, he waved frantically and yelled "Banoobie" as he expired. I find this disquieting.
