So, if I'm figuring correctly, it would cost $80 ($79.75) to buy everything up on the Sims 3 Store right now. For the cost of 2 regular Sims 2 EP's you get 142 items, 16 outfits and 11 hairs and 0 new features. Fuck EA.

First we get bugs, and only half of the game. And now they expect us to pay ransom for the second half of the game? How stupid do they think we are? >:(
... I'd say about as stupid as your average BBSer.

I'll volunteer to share! I preordered the collector's edition and it should be arriving on the 2cd. What they're doing with the Sims Store is just not right; it was bad before but now it's just unbelievable. How greedy can one company be? Granted, all I can promise is to hand it over. I have no modding knowledge and would have no clue how to make unsharable content sharable.
Now to back up a bit . . .

Dunno if anyone has mentioned it, but seeing how some of you think that is sexist for EA to make the game force maternity leave and all..
I have a sim who Dislikes Children, she gets a negative moodlet every time she is around a kid. She got pregnant, and when she started showing and got the pregnancy moodlet, its positive and she has the wish to read a pregnancy book and to have a girl. Why? Do ALL female sims like being pregnant? I thought having the Dislikes children trait would make it a negative thing, but its not. I don't get it.
Yeah, I agree. I find this fact really sexist and presumptive. I'm glad you let me know the "Dislikes Children" trait didn't make a difference . . . *sigh.* This is totally not the way I play. My Sims are mostly gay/lesbian and adopt rarely and the straight couples don't have kids. The only time I play with babies, toddlers & kids is if they're already at Maxis created characters lots or on the rare occasion it makes sense for the story I'm creating. You can imagine my horror when I left my SelfSim for one Simday while I played a bit with another family and returned to find her preggers. Ugh! Do not want! What was EAxis thinking??? Can't wait for some sort of birth control hack or something if the final cut is anywhere near this one regarding pregnancy.
I am slightly warming up to the game, but the Sims are more or less still fugly though I managed to create a half-way decent Draco Sim. I like the moodlets and the expanded traits as well as the variety of food and books. I don't like the overuse of the rabbit hole buildings and how long it takes for Sims to be at work or sleep. It's pretty boring to watch nothing basically when both of your Sims are at work for 7 or 8 Simhours. :^\ I definitely don't like the aforementioned magical happy pregnancy shit. No thank you! Also don't like the forced Legacy style play. That's totally NOT how I play my game. I usually play each family in a neighborhood for a SimWeek at a time before I switch.
I haven't had any of the weird glitches yet . . . worst thing that happened was my game 'sploded spontaneously to nothing. It just blinked out, not even typical crash style. Only happened once, though. I believe like a lot of you here now that this definitely can't be the final cut, more like a leaked preview. Dear god, I hope so!

I'm getting really tired of the "feature" which causes my Sims to leave town. It irks me that after spending time creating them, and fostering a career and relationships they can just pack up and go. I have been losing my Sims left and right only to have them replaced by townies, and my Sims spawning. They need some sort of "lock household" feature. The only thing I am liking about the new game is that I can move Sims into a lot and not have to actually enter the lots.
The hair styles all look like they were developed as a collaboration between Peggy and XM Sims. Really the whole games reeks of having been cooked up by a team of pay site artists. The hair styles for sale in the store do not look any better.
Another thing this game is in serious want of is an eyedropper tool for the paint workshop. Is there one and I am too blind to see it? It would be fair easier to grab color off an object to match it than have to save the pattern.

Pick the object that you want to copy the color (or color scheme) or texture from. The horizontal palette above the color wheel should display the color channels used. Simply drag the color you want from the palette onto the object you want to update. If the object has multiple channels, it will let you pick which one to replace.
If you want to copy the whole scheme, kit and caboodle, the vertical palette has a "grippy" corner that you can click then drag to the object you're updating. Somewhere around here someone explained this in pictures, but it's fairly straightforward. The only real hassle is that it tends to be a bit sluggish, at least for me.
