Hi, I'm a long time lurker, here to annoy you ...
I noticed at least one person mention that they were playing Sims 3 on a laptop - so, for those of you who've been using one, I'm curious - is it a super spectacular gaming laptop, or just a really good regular laptop?
Also, thanks to everyone who's taken the time to post pictures. They rock.

I'm getting a bit annoyed at the jumps into cars, out of cars, out of driveways, onto bikes, etc. Not anything new, but the lack of real animations bothers me a bit. In TS2 at least they could open car doors. For TS4, sims will walk to the bottom of stairs and suddenly appear at the top without walking or running up. This will, of course, save time.
All the time they save in this way will be used later for all the pauses they do whenever they start doing something. No, really.
Command: go to bed.
Action: sim approaches bedroom ---> pause: there's another sim in the way. ---> pause ---> pause ---> pause ---> action canceled by user; the other sim moves away ---> redo command: go to bed ---> sim approaches bed ---> pause ---> sim changes clothes ---> sim enters the bed.
Command: serve meal
Action: sim enters the kitchen ---> pause ---> sim approaches fridge ---> pause ---> sim gets ingredients from fridge and approaches counter ---> pause ---> sim puts down ingredients on counter ---> pause ---> sim starts preparation (slow).
AAARRRRGH!

Mid line Laptop here
Dell Compaq Presario CQ60
Amd Athlon X2 64 2GHZ
8200M G 256 onboard 500 or so shared memory
2 gig memory
Windows Vista
Runs fine has a few hiccups, if I increased the base memory to 4 gig (3.5 usuable) it would probably run better. I have all graphics set to medium a few to high.
I am waiting for the release to get the offical Sim 3 to see if it runs better. I have always been one if I like a game I try, I buy it to support the people who made it. Playing the Sims 3 has just confirmed what I was going to do anyway, purchase it.
