THE HORROR: The REAL TS3 Scoop As It Unfolds
I.Am.She:
I had an amusing time last night laughing at the logic around Sim pregnancies.
I sent my heavily pregnant sim out to do a spot of seed hunting and got the little popup saying "THE BABY IS COMING!! Make sure you get to a hospital or home" or whatever it says. So i hastily clicked the little icon next to her to send her home... But no! She was squatting and moaning, presumably in labor. Which meant I couldn't click anything.
So I left her to do her business, and worried about how I would get the baby/babies home once she'd popped them out... But I needn't have worried! After two hours, she stopped making constipated noises and RAN... yes RAN all the way home, went round to the back of the house (why when there was no back door?!) and produced two girls, then left them on the floor and went to sleep in bed.

Parties! Don't talk to me about TS3 parties, of which there have been exactly two so far. Gah. Total disasters more like.
The first party was a wedding in the central park. I didn't know about setting up beforehand, so I sent the couple down and tried to find a way to put some food and entertainment down. Nothing. So finally I just made them get married, figuring I could make one of them grill some hotdogs after. The guests just stood there, throwing rice for what seemed an eternity until I tumbled to the fact they were stuck. It took me about five real minutes. TS3 sims move so slowly I couldn't be sure. ::)
Then, shamefacedly, most of the guests slunk off, mumbling something about a 'nice' party - a damning condemnation if I ever heard one. There were about four or five sims still standing near the fountain throwing rice and when they refused to talk to the bride and groom, I left them there.
I happened to take a sim to the park several days later and wondered for a moment why the sims in the park were throwing rice. This time my sim was able to talk/interact with the rice throwers and they stopped and went home. Bizarre.
The second was a birthday party to age a baby to a toddler. Just as a side note, I now understand why most of the EAxis porches are 3x3. While I was trying to stop the father from doing something stupid so he could go and get the baby; the guests managed to achieve total gridlock on my 2x3 porch. I couldn't extend the damn porch, the sims had already sold their stereo to buy the birthday cake and had no money for building.
I managed to get the mother outside - where I had wisely (I thought) put the birthday cake. Then I called all these damn guests back down the one flight of stairs. It took two fucking sim hours to get 8 sims out of gridlock. Argh!
So then I have to line the father up with baby again.
I think there were three guests left by the time I got the father to the cake with babby in hand.
NEVER AGAIN!

I've been playing the Reloaded version for the past few days with very few problems, except for the extremely long time it takes to save a game sometimes.
Tonight I thought I'd try the Fresh Mountain hood, because the fugly's in Sunset Valley were hurting my eyes. I made a sim in Cas and after a couple of days he got lonely, (aaww), sent him down to the park and to the store for cookie ingredients, (aaww), when he came across this interesting gent...
(If I could figure out how to post a screenshot without it being huge, i would) anyways... The partly invisible gents name is "Harrison Ford" he was reading a paper on the bench. My sim was overcome with curiousity and just had to meet him.
The interesting thing is, I couldn't click on the invisible parts of Mr. Ford... I could only interact with him by clicking on the visible parts. He eventually got bored with my sim and grabbed a taxi and left.... but it's the only borked sim I've seen so far.... unless this was done intentionally by Crazetex when he made the hood.
Other than this, i'm actually enjoying Sims3, but there are some definitely annoying behaviors i've noticed already. That "hand on hip" has got to go, and also the extremely loud burglar/fire alarms.
I.Am.She:
LOL. Witch, I had the rice throwing 'bug' too. It's put me off throwing parties now!

There most certainly is jealousy in Sims 3, in this scene the fiance has just done a runner and left the sim on the bed to deal with the jealous girlfriend who's just walked in on them.
Sims still can't attack the burglars! This was really irritating to have her standing watching as she was burgled.
At least the cop has won these fights so far.
Gyms make you flexible. Very.
Telly? What telly?
I love the mausoleum.
