if you check the .exe date, you'll notice that it's about april !
that's means the version around the net of ts3 isn't the final release, but probably and RC. (Release Candidate)
Woah, interesting! Can anyone else confirm this?

Anyways, figured I would register to give people good news...
MATY is not exactly a place where you can bounce in and say "No, it's great!". If you really want to convey your positive impression of the game you're going to have to do better than that. Why are the things that bother everyone else not bothering you? What are the things that make it worthwhile? People are posting these sorts of impressions, and they're interesting to read in a way that "This game is good, losers" is never going to be.

but I see that y'all are all just EA haters at heart and stuck on the thought that this game is trash
Most of us hate EA because 1) They install nastyware on our computers in a futile attempt at copy protection and 2) We see the potential in the Sims games, and hate to see how badly EA screws them over with lack of bug-testing, listening to the community, etc.
I agree. If ttech had read the entire forum, he would have noticed that the important thing when posting about the game is to include facts with your opinions. The Sims 2 has attracted so many different sorts of players throughout the years that it's impossible to simply say "it's great" and expect everyone to share your opinion. Instead, a good poster (Pes, Za, etc.) will say why he/she does or does not like the game -- and will give information beyond what we can find on the official site. Do I think I'll end up liking TS3 more than 90% of the people here at MATY? Yes. Do I think that gives me the right to disparage the forum and its regular patrons/founders? Hell to the no.

So what you're saying is that EA has managed to discover a process where they can make modifications to the game up to the very minute it's put on shelves? Or perhaps you're just an idiot.

Smells like EA-based cover-up.

Uh, so if we play another household our other playable households will start reproducing with townies without our control? ???
BAD NEWBIE! NO DOUBLE-POSTING!

Some tech sites are alleging that the leaked copy was, in fact, from the digital download version of the game--an edition we have been told *would* include securom and phoning home. It's not clear as yet whether or not EAxis has violated its promise about the retail edition, so perhaps we oughtn't jump the gun on it.
If it was a digital download, then why do we have to use a no-CD crack with it or whatever? I think it's the CD/DVD version. :)
Well, I'm just repeating the story I'd read. But were I to wager a guess, I'd say that the digital activation exists precisely for that reason; after it phones home, it would not require a crack (like Mass Effect or something).
Thankfully, using the crack and pointing out shortcuts at the exe instead of the launcher solves that. But I'm still optimistic that the retail DVD version won't have it. But I'm a sucker for positive thinking, so...
Sammy:
Has anyone with the game determined whether there are any supernatural creatures beside the ghosts? Even in the base game for TS2 sims could get abducted by aliens. Of course, I don't expect the range of creatures we have for TS2 + exps, gotta milk the fanbase as much as they possibly can, but I'm curious as I do have more fun with the vampires or witches. I'd check myself, but it's been 24 hours and I'm only at 56.7%. Hurr.
