THE HORROR: The REAL TS3 Scoop As It Unfolds

But this is the internets, this is how it works. It's hardly like people were all 'zomg n00b gtfo!!11!', a little light hearted ribbing isn't really worth the effor of climbing up on a soapbox, surely?
You forget that, as usual, I start on the moral high ground and that, therefore, it is merely a gravity-assisted step down onto my soapbox. Hardly any effort is required.
Anyway, I was merely amused to see people who have not, apparently, arred the game, or played it, poking at someone who has done both of those things and who has taken the trouble to contribute their impressions in a fairly well-written post.

sorry if it's been mentioned before, but anybody know how to kill some sims....
pools don't work to drown they can climb the edge... lol, three games+24EP/SPs to get that
fires are hard if you have multiple sims... they all run into the room and scream like panzies and interactions with anything other than fire and walking are locked out
haven't tried starving yet... but suspect they will go to a restaurant or any public place with a grill or other...
also, any idea who the seamingly unrelated goth ghost is... the one in the goth graveyard... i can't find her on the family tree!
EDIT:
my computer
2.2GHz Core 2 Duo
GeForce 9800GTX+
3GB RAM
runs the game great at max settings 1920x1200, haven't checked FPS yet but the game isn't laggy yet

So I decided to go ahead and bite the bullet so to speak,and download the game despite my original plan not to yesterday. I have to say, the similarities between TS3 and TS1 seem pretty striking, at least to me. Their faces have a somewhat creepy quality to them and are all extremely similar-- I played around in CAS for quite awhile, and had a very difficult time getting a distinct sim that I wanted to play.
The good:
-I like the "opportunities", particularly the ones for the career. My main sim biked over to the local Black Gnome Market at four a.m. and gathered intel for her job, which I thought was kind of cool.
-The customization options available-- sort of. The actual meshes available are very limited, but the fabric swatching tool is nice, at least at first. After the novelty wore off, I found myself wishing there were more pre-made options available.
The less-than-good:
-No memories. WHY? I realize they could be annoying and glitchy at times, but it bothers me that my sims will have no memories of getting married, giving birth, and so on.
-This is minor, but... no coffee maker? Much like my life, ALL of my sims drink coffee daily.
-Cooking now takes a REALLY long time, at least it did for my sim. She was two hours late to work and almost starved to death while trying to make waffles. I can see myself using the "quick meal" option a lot.
Those are just the things that jumped out at me. Honestly, it's not quite as bad as I thought it would be, but I can't see it replacing TS2 for a lot of players.
Skadi:
Wouldn't surprise me, or maybe that's in the collector's edition - they said there was content on that plumbbob drive.
vcpink:
anybody else think that the torrent might not be the final build... or might be a developer/executive copy to show the big wigs at ea, i say this because it does seem awfully light on content and whatnot... and it load in less than a minute two when you include actually going into the neighborhood to play, compared with the sims 2 i get like 10 minute loads on boot when you include loading the hood.
also, anybody else remember hearing about a tool that allows custom hood making to be released shortly after the game goes on sale?
edit:
sorry about all the posts so quickly didn't mean to spam the same thing worded differently... again sorry
