THE HORROR: The REAL TS3 Scoop As It Unfolds
X-Phile:
To be honest I find that some hairstyles from sims 3 look like the hair Peggy makes in
Sims 2. As if a rat ate some hair.

*unlurk* please don't eat me :P
Good grief, this game has my graphics card (HD 3850) instantly jumping to 99% load and 70c before the opening intro has finished, nevermind actually playing the thing. I know ATI haven't got the best reputation for good cooling, but I've not got a single app or game that manages that, and it's not an old card.
If I may have a moment of tin-foil hat-ness, is this to be expected of a game of Sims 3 calibur and EA's notoriously inefficient coding, or is something more suspicious going on here, with the arr'ed files? (edit: suspicious .exe aside, since it's been found out and replaced) I'd expect high load for say, the neighborhood view, rendering shadows and reflections and whathaveyou. Not when the game is still loading up, during the menu, or a full system crash when my game is paused.
Back to actual gameplay, I second the major DNW of not being able to switch households. I like to build up my entire household and micromanage every relationship between them. Not having them breeding with random other sims when my back is turned, and losing progress when I want to switch. That just kills it for me, and for most of the Simmers I know.
I do like the moodlets, and the sims seem less moody overall to allow for skilling. The opportunities seem interesting to add to the mix, and while I like having more control over the facial proportions, they still all look far too chubby. I'm all for eliminating size 0s from modelling and the like, but some people that size do actually exist.

I have to say that the game's graphics remind me very much of the "Desperate Housewives" game or Kudo's. As a matter of fact when my nieces got in from school they thought I was playing "DH". It's pretty interesting though. I just can't wait for mods/cheats/cc.
I do have a screenie I wasn't sure if I could post it here.

Next time Im posting on this forum while using a computer, I shall type what I want to say into a word doc and check for errors.
This is actually not a bad idea. Typing like a moron makes people think you are a moron. Do not do it if you expect help around here.

So has anyone tried to disable story progression, aging, and set the free-will to low? I was under the impression if we did those things basically families would be like they were in the Sims2, except they they would go to work and you would see them around town... they wouldn't make any big decisions on their own.
I tried this and as far as I could tell, nothing major happened to my main family. However, the aging is an all-or-nothing deal, meaning that nobody was aging at all.
Actually, when I tried to play another family, I noticed something strange. One of my sims, Hank Goddard, is woohooing his female partner in law enforcement but didn't have her in his relationship panel at all when I played his family, and in fact had a completely different woman listed as being his partner. However, when I went back to play his partner's family, all the relationships were still intact. :-\ Not sure what it means, but it doesn't seem to bode well.
ETA: Because I wasn't clear, I thought I should add that I played her family for about 10 sim days with aging and story progression on before I tried this, so she should definitely be in his relationship panel.
