hey does anyone know when the gender is determined for a baby?..is it at birth?..or when the mother starts showing?
cause i had twins girls, but the game crashed before i can save, so had to play it again, and saved it before she had the babies, but now i keep getting twin boys instead. =(
Did you have to get her pregnant again, or had you saved afterward? I know that in TS2, gender was determined at birth.
no it was the same pregnancy, it's saved in the morning, and that same night she goes in to labor. i've loaded it 3 times and all times they have been boys, so idk if am getting really bad odds or the gender has already been determined. ???
Bad odds, methinks, if it's the same pregnancy and you've gotten two different genders.
thanks for your reply, i hope you're right and it's just odds.
but idk, i have a sneaky suspicion that gender is determined when the mother first starts showing and it plays that music lol. i hope i'm wrong.
I saved on the morning the baby was due, reloaded 5 or 6 times, and got a boy every time so it's either determined at conception or the odds are really terrible

I find TS3 quite enjoyable. Aside from the obvious lack of content (comes with time) mods (again, they come with time.. assuming people are willing) and a few bugs, the game itself is quite interesting.. though most of what I've noticed has been said...
A big want/dislike, as it was mentioned before (once I thinl, but I did skip a few pages) that I would like to reiterate is the set-in-stone style neighborhood. While you can change lots from residential to commercial, and move lots around (assuming the new lot is the same size.. which assumes a lot) you are unable to create new lots. I hope that someone who is far more skilled than I with hacky-type-stuff is thinking of ways to make a new neighborhood with that option turned on. The freedom to move around the zone is awesome, and to be able to make the zone itself would be amazing- even if it was a painstaking process. (IE: AI to use sidewalks/crosswalks etc.)
I have also noticed a bug when interacting with items like a bed or a swing set: if you are using it and cancel the 'main' action, while still having a 'do on/with object' queued up, you can get stuck being unable to complete or cancel the task at hand. You'll just stand there till you safe reset your sim. Watch out. :)
Edit: Awesome! As I was typing this a thread popped up regarding new, custom neighborhoods. You guys rock. <3
jolrei:
The way I am looking at it, the "open neighbourhood" is more like real life - you have no control over what the "townies" do. You have control only in your family. This increases the amount of random stuff your sims will have to deal with (neighbours having spawn, dying, marrying your sim's boyfriend, etc.). This either adds challenge or total annoyance. For now, I am choosing to see TS3 as a different game, not a progression from TS2.
Zazazu:
I honestly don't care what the townies do. I care what my made sims do. Without the ability to either toggle it off for the whole 'hood, or toggle it off for certain families (which, at one point, is what it was rumored we would have), this feature completely restricts us from playing more than one household effectively.

The group razor released a more current version of Sims 3. This one I believe is the final version that was sent to stores and was the same version that went gold. Maybe.
If anyone has the Razor one, please give game version. The final apparently is 1.0.631.00107. It appears to be gone from NewTorrent.

I'm glad I am not the only one who thought we were going to be able to turn aging off for the entire neighborhood. Or at least for the families we want to spend more time with. Perhaps the reason why it can't be done is that this is a beta release you are playing? IDK If the leaked version is really 17 builds away from the finished version, could some of what we are missing be in the final version? Oh, well, it's a moot point until we see the released game, anyway. Hate to say it, but that is the one thing that has me thinking IDNW this game. What's the point in using all the cool new stuff on Sims we have spent days and days playing, go to another lot to visit another family we've created and have family no. 1 suddenly move? Or go back to family no.1 and find them knee deep in toddlers and babies and we have no idea where, or whom, they came from? EA silliness runs rampant, I guess.
