Hi, I'm a long time lurker, here to annoy you ...
I noticed at least one person mention that they were playing Sims 3 on a laptop - so, for those of you who've been using one, I'm curious - is it a super spectacular gaming laptop, or just a really good regular laptop?
Also, thanks to everyone who's taken the time to post pictures. They rock.
I'm using a regular laptop. I initially installed it on my desktop, but even though I installed all the Sims 2 games, the graphics were crappy and it ran slow. I have all EPs and Sps of Sims 2 still installed on my laptop and The Sims 3 still runs very smooth with all settings on high.

Something I haven't seen mentioned yet... maids are recurring for me, no matter which household it is. I can call them once and they'll come, but after that they don't come again until I call them. Newspapers pile up for a week.
They worked at first, but over the course of the hours I've put into the neighborhood they've become borked.
It is interesting that you mention that- there was a in game pop up that said not all maids work as hard as they should… maybe this is how EA decided to deal with a bad code?
I don't know about you but in my game, the maids aren't regular, I seem to be getting 3 different maids, 2 female and 1 male, and whoever comes each day seems random. As for their work performance, one of the female ones decided to take out and eat a can of beans or soup or whatever on my kitchen island counter, and as soon as she finished she ended her shift, not bothering to clean up after herself. I wonder, if I fire that particular one will only herself stop coming, or all 3 of them?
I have the reverse problem with the maids. I constantly find my sims chatting with them. Bloody shut up already and let them do their job. You have 6 other family members to chat with 'tard. >.<

Well when one of them starts doing nothing and because I usually keep testingCheatsEnabled on I just add them to the family and age them to death or teleport them onto someone else's lot where they can't move then starve them to death. Going to try drowning them

I thought that maybe this was a coincidence but I've decided that it's definitely not so I have to share. My sim who has been 'Neat' since birth grew up always having wishes to befriend the maid. I thought this was cute but likely a coincidence since maids seemed to be the only people outside of his family that I let him spend time with. As a teen, he became best friends with two of the maids (they were both teens at the time... maids seem to be able to be teens or adults). Now that he is a young adult, he is constantly rolling wishes to flirt/massage/kiss the two maids that are serving his house. Clearly I will have him marry the prettier one since it's just so easy. He doesn't have any romantic traits at all either, he is brave/loves the outdoors/neat (he only has three traits because of the bug, i'm just about to give him more with the mid-life crisis reward). Anyways, I think this is an extremely adorable trait of the 'Neat' sims. Anyone else seen this?

I just opened up one of my saved games--sad that there's kind of no point in calling it a 'hood anymore--where I had "Lolita Goth" break up the Goth marriage. So Lolita's been living in the Goth mansion for quite some time now. Today I load up and see an unusual looking ghost on the lot. I hover over her, and her name is Lolith Goth. I quickly check, the original Lolita is still alive. WTF? Why did the game decide that my living sim needed a ghost dupe? Granted it doesn't look exactly like her. I'm guessing, like many things, the explanation here will turn out to be 'just because'.
