Can we still drop custom paintings into a Paintings folder and have sims paint them at higher skill levels?


Doesn't look like it so far. Hopefully there is a way that I couldn't find.

It'll probably be in a future EP. I'm sure EAxis left features like that out so they can make future EPs look good. Knowing them, they will probably take all the features we took for granted in TS2, and spread them out through several expansion packs.

StormKloud:
I find it funny that when EA tried to make the game more easily customizable (especially in CAS) they actually made it harder to have custom content in the game. So every idiot can make their simes have blue hair, godforbid anybody import actual CC skintones like with nipples or body hair

I'm already getting bored with TS3. This is a far cry from TS2 - when that first came out I was riveted, and my real life fell apart for a few weeks due to massive playage. Unlike this.
Well, TS2 is a toy in which you make your own game. TS3 is a game that you beat. The "toy" aspect is less than well-developed.

Collecting shit holds no interest for me. Nor does completing unrealistic, tasky opportunities. Skilling seems like more of a grind in TS3, which is strange, as I thought it was grindy in TS2, but it has somehow been made WORSE. Maybe it's because the game puts so much emphasis on A!CHIEVE!MENT! - I'm guessing Rod Humble is a fan of personal development tapes and motivational speakers (also that he loves to collect random useless shit).

I just want TS2 with an open neighborhood and traits, pretty much ... not this goal-orientated, gotta catch 'em all frankengame.
We are working on it.


I'll be first in line for that version.

I'm amazed at the time invested in this game, it's so god-awfully boring.  Kudos to all the test players who've actually made it through several families.  Family actually doesn't have much purpose in this game--there are no memories, no real "drama",  and is more like Marioland for the sims...instead of coins you run around collecting seeds, insects, & money.   With TS2 cheats and hacks were nice but I didn't feel like I didn't want to play at all without them.   It's pitiful really.  I keep waiting for at least one thrill in this game that makes it all worthwhile but I haven't found it yet.  

Definitely waiting for the real TS2 follow-up Pescado mentioned above.

At the comments about Blizzard doing a Sims spin-off..just..no. There is a reason they are a successful company, because they don't do things like that.

Their "next WoW" is already in production anyway, they would not divert resources from it at this point.
