I don't want to download the arr'ed version [especially not since the real deal is coming out in a week], but I'm really curious to know from those who have been playing what the word on autonomous homosexuality is.. One person mentioned autonomously lesbian sims, but I haven't heard anyone else say anything like this. Can anyone else confirm this is possible in the game? I don't want my households to be little islands of gayness in a sea of-- well, you get the idea... I don't make all my sims gay [it's about 50/50], but if the whole town in sims 3 is gonna be straight, I gotta do my part to even out the odds... Variety is a good thing.
I've seen around 3 autonomous gay relationships, 2 male and one female.
I was actually pretty saddened by one male... he was one of my playable sim's next victims, he wasnt fat and looked ok... whenmy sim tried to flirt with him, she was accused of being rude by another male, and on further inspection, they were "boyfriend and boyfriend"... gutted.
Crazetex:
One of my incentives to create my own 'hood was that Sunset Valley had about 9,000 women in it and most of them were lesbians. That's all well and good, except that I could not find a single unattached man for the girl I was playing.

My only complaints so far / questions(sorry if they've already been mentioned):
Ultra Speed: It's so slow! I have to take out a book when everyone is asleep or at work. This isn't just my computer, right?
Body Parts: I thought you were supposed to be able to make arms skinnier or fatter individually. My game only has one bar to adjust and by the looks of the pre-made sims you should be able to do that-- might be there with final version.
Going places: If the sim doesn't have a bike or car, they take off in this mad dash to wherever they are going. And sometimes even with a bike my sim would just run there. One time my sim ran through peoples yards to get somewhere at around midnight. It's just creepy.
Relationships: Can sims even fall in love? I've had a sim get pregnant by another sim. They are still just best friends. There is no marriage option yet, propose option.. or even crush. ??? Relationships seem to be difficult anyway... one "bad" trait such as non-humourous and you can't use jokes or be told jokes which seems to be the only good way to build relationships. =|
Things I like:
Needs/Wants: I love the new system for them and how they aren't the focus. Everything effects your mood and it shows you how many hours it will effect your mood. Even things like back aches from pregnancy to someone complimenting you to being able to complain to a friend.
Navigation: Although the navigation was a bit hard at first it's actually well done. You can track their progress on the map view and you just click anywhere to zoom in. There is a button to send your sim home without having to try to find home, and you can click to zoom into one of your sims from anymore. Sims in a house hold can all be in different places at once.
Traits: Endless possibilities with these, much better than personalities like in TS2.
I don't understand "the horror".. it's still an okay game and the seamless neighborhood is worth it. :3
rufio:
My Supervillain was arrested by the police. Lame. If a Supervillain is going to get busted, there should at least be an honest-to-god Superhero involved. If no one in the town has their act together enough to get to be a Superhero, then sucks to be them.
More experiments with romance - my sim is now wooing her friendly neighbor's husband, because she is totally a home-wrecking shit-stirrer. She also now has the Attractive perk, whatever effect that actually has. They got to friend status, she invited him over and got to "Love Interest" status in a few hours (it was slightly harder than the first time though, so maybe the fact that they're both involved with other people actually matters). Try For Baby was, however, rejected twice, after which the social interaction message became "Sean thinks that Corrine is being a bit creepy." Heh.

Yes you can be in love, and you actually get a perk for being in the same room as the person you love. It take a bunch of work though to get the relations high enough to have it and the way relation degenerate it's hard to keep. However, if you have the charism skill and get the perk where relation degenerate slower its easier to keep. As I have said many times, skills play a larger part in Sims3 now, Athletics high enough will make your Sims fatigue drop slower to the point of almost being able to run 24 hours before need to sleep. I think it also allows them to recoup faster. I have found out that the lower fatigue is (red or orange) the longer it takes to recover. I always make sure my Sims sleep before they hit red/orange, usually in the start of yellow.
