THE HORROR: The REAL TS3 Scoop As It Unfolds
kattenijin:
Is there somplace in game I'm missing to discover what some of the books do, besides the obvious ones for skilling and new foods/music? I'm assuming that "Commitment issues" helps sims with that trait to deal better with them, but WTF does "Where's Bella" do?

What I do not like though is that in order to woo someone that has a spouse (even those with commitment issues, like Thornton Wolff), you have to use friendly interactions until "Ask to break up with X" comes up before the sim will take your romantic interactions, that really makes no sense.
Hmm, see that is the opposite of what I'm going through. Through stubbornness mostly, I managed to get Gunther Goth to hook up with and impregnate my other-woman sim. At one point I had the 'ask to break up' option, but I did not take it, and now I cannot get it back even though she's borne his bastard child. I just checked on him (grr argh stupid family switching annoyance argh) and he does indeed still consider himself married to Cornelia. Although you give me an idea, I've been focusing on the romantic tree because I assumed that was where the 'break up' request was, I'll try friendly instead.
(Another annoyance, that they'll get in bed, cuddle, make out, but even though Woohoo appears they'll just...not...with no indication of the problem.)
ETA: Success! After repeating many of the Friendly interactions for many in-game hours, I finally clicked on one I hadn't used that much "Applaud Hard Work" (he's a workaholic), and the "Ask to break up with Cornelia" option finally appeared. Now I can continue with my evil scheme. But that's beside the point. Those interaction trees suck and make no sense. When something is relationshipally available, it should be available.
Also, while they were friendly-interacting, the game popped up a box saying that since they got along so well, should I have Gunther move in? Hells no, I'm going to move my homewrecker into the Goth mansion.

I got this once and accepted it and there were about 7 or 8 rocks that were worth something and about a dozen and a half little piles of stuff that needed to be tidied up. Didnt take long but was worth it for the money it gave me from the space rocks
Drat, a missed oppurtunity. Good to know!

Some traits seem to be able to be 'triggered' for an immediate find-out, too, due to certain social actions. Ask about work, and you might get 'Workaholic', a flirt can reveal if someone's Unflirty, chating about family will get if someone Hates Children (and I assume the opposite, though I haven't ever gotten that), speaking of Art gets if someone Hates Art, telling a joke can get you the Good Sense of Humor / No Sense of Humor thing... I'm sure there's more, but those are the only one's I've seen. Still, yeah, besides the super easy Questioning way, it does seem a bit difficult to get traits after 'Get to know' is gone; chat takes forever.
I'm really hating the enforced maternity leave. At this point, if I have a female Sim who I plan to have children with, I'm just avoiding 'top job' ltw's. I had a Sim who was at midlevel in the military when she started having kids: her kid was like, two days from child by the time she was working again- and I didn't grow him up early in baby stage. I need to be better about timing pregnancies.

Every time I've ever looked, Break Up is in the Mean tree, even when their relationship is good. So I'd try there in the future. ;)
