I spent 2 days downloading this bloody thing and now I can't install it. I'm getting an error message like so:
>SetupNew\setup.cpp(140)
PAPP:
PVENDOR:
PGUID:
$15.0.0.498
I am decidedly unawesome, so could anyone shed any light on what may be going wrong here?
This is caused by trying to run the installer with winRAR, stop that! Extract it.
Actually, no. Read my next post. But I appreciate your "can-do" attitude.

Most of the action in the game takes place only in the sim's head, aka the control panel with the wants and the moodlets. For instance, my sim got in a bad mood because she had a cold shower. The indication that this happened was that it popped up in her moodlets. Looking at her sim with the GIANT BLUR in the shower, I had no idea this happened.
This is something I've been worrying about during the whole pre-release propaganda stage. All the talk of rabbit holes and texty "missions" at work made it sound like they're moving further away from visible "watch it unfold" gameplay.
They've been going in this direction for a while now - the lamecore tours you don't get to watch in BV, etc. If something happens in my game I want to see it. Or imagine it. I don't want to be notified by a pop-up or read a description. Otherwise I might as well be playing a text-based RPG.
Also, I doubt TS3 will hold my attention for more than a few months if modding is severely restricted. Hacks are the only thing that made TS2 playable. Curse you, EA!

Quoting for posterity, my opinions in bold:

Ladies and gentlemen, hope lives... we may see an even BETTER final version of this game, hopefully void of the problems and bugs, and a vibrant modder community to BOOST!
So...anyone who actually knows shit here have an opinion? The dev code stuff has me stumped.
Developers leave turds in game files all the time. TS2 itself is full of such turds dating back to TS1. At least half of the crap in TS2 is either vestigial or nonfunctional redundant crap. This is mostly related to the fact that they simply decide it is not worth budgeting time and money to removing detritus from files, because it's not their hard drive space that's limited, anyway.

No. Demon child is definitely the genetic daughter of Ms. Schmoe. She has the same hair color, down to the subtle blue streaks. She also is extremely ugly.
Holy shit! Ms. Schmoe appears to have been raped by Diesel 10 from Thomas the Tank Engine!
That's gotta be the most disgusting looking sim I've ever seen. I'll take the ugly baby syndrome from TS2 then these silly putty lookin' mawfuckaz anyday. The more I see screen shots of this game the more I wanna gouge my eyes out with a rusty screwdriver. I've played Nintendo 64 games that had better looking game models then this.

To be fair...the female doesn't look too bad.
And most of the models in game I've seen haven't been too fugly.
It's the damn kids that are just eye bleachingly horrid.
