THE HORROR: The REAL TS3 Scoop As It Unfolds

VERY SLOW reaction time when you tell Sims what to do. I edited a LOT of "frozen in space" Sim action out, which was a pain, as I didn't want any unexpected jump cuts.
I have found that the first time you get sims to do anything, like use the terlet, shower, exercise machines, etc., they tend to "dead space" for about half a minute (YMMV). After that, they do things normally with only a brief pause to change clothes (where required). It's like installing the game only installs the basic bits, and other specific sequences are loaded as you do them on a piecemeal basis. I had this thing where a sim stood and stared at a chess table for a whole sim hour before sitting down to play. I was so annoyed that I killed him. Subsequent sims have had no problem sitting down to play. (Mind you, they now know the alternative. ;D )

Sims all move like turtles by default...and it takes SOOOOOO LOOOONG that I included it as a (weak) joke: http://zoopy.com/q/xdh
On my rig, slowness appears to be a product of the video card and screen resolution. If I reduce screen resolution, movement and control response is faster. Of course, if you reduce screen resolution too much you end up with a "stretched steaming pile of faeces" TM

No. I have rigorous experimental procedures that are to be followed without deviation. Thread on this posted seperately in this section. Since I don't have time to deal with random bullshit, I'm going to nuke and ban anyone who tries it. People will perform the test exactly as-is or they will stay out of my experiment. This is SCIENCE.
Lulz, ok no problems, I'm happy to help out. When the Almighty is ready. *bows head to my Lord*
EDIT: Just noticed the new Thread, will give this bad boy ago later today or tomorrow night <24hours. Thanks Pes... Will you want screenies too? eh?
Inge:
I wish you luck, Pescado. IME few people are able to follow instructions exactly or answer questions directly when it comes to testing or bug reporting. I look forward to being pleasantly surprised however.
J. M. Pescado:
I believe it's a motivation thing. Which is why participating and failing to do so will be punished by nuking and banning, to encourage that it be done properly. I mean, of course you can't expect people to behave properly. In my experience, people never do unless you MOTIVATE them with threats of dire and immediate punishment.

Random sim squats with existing Fambly. No explanation is given. Then the original sims may be killed off. You never get to see this. No explanation is given for that, either.
Axe murderer? This is why you should never allow a random person to move in with you. :P

It's just me, or Pes is more nervous and irritable since TS3? Grin *giggles*
Nah, he's just as cuddly as ever. ;)

could you elaborate on that? is there a way to actually make a homeless sim, or did you move them into an empty lot and have them sleep on the park bench Cheesy
Empty lot. But she spends most of her time in the park with her guitar trying to earn enough money to eat.
I'm actually thinking of starting a new story. I was gonna work on it today during breaks, but I forgot to give myself access to the folder where the snapshots are stored. D'oh. :P Oh well, at least I can write down plot ideas for later.
