THE HORROR: The REAL TS3 Scoop As It Unfolds
Inge:
You can use any mesh in any Sims game, it just has to exported and imported the right way.

and why the hell can't you make their eyebrows thicker or thinner?
You can... Look in CAS.
Where?!? There's a bunch of eyebrow options (under the Eyes I think), but no thickness.
If you go under Hair and choose Eyelashes and Eybrows, they have a bunch of different thicknesses of eyebrows. Then you can go under Eyes, choose the Advanced option, and click on the eyebrow to adjust the height, curve, and ... something else, I forget. Not thickness. So you should start with an eyebrow of the thickness you desire, then modify it for shape and placement.
Ah, yes. Good thing there is a roundabout way, but it would be nice if they included that simple, little option. Thanks!
So, what about getting sims a new set of clothing, is it possible?
And the launcher? We shouldn't run it, right?
(I could further investigate the clothing thing myself, but I'm in a lazy/busy mode to actually start the game. If someone already knows a simple answer it would be nice to hear it.)

It's not so elegant, though. The eyebrows themselves define the SHAPE of the eyebrow. The male and female analogues have entirely different versions that do not appear similar. As a result, you get some WEIRD, FUCKED UP SURPRISES when you breed them or flip them. The effect is much like Buttolino nose syndrome, only it happens for ALL bodyparts. Before you commit a sim, particularly a male sim, I suggest you flip it over to female just to check what the "analogue" face is. This is where the fug comes from.

Long time lurker here, I haven't arr'g the game, don't intend to for personal career reasons, but have a few questions for those of you who have;
1. does it look possible to replace all ea made sims with ones I make myself?
2. is the merge option in this version? I had read earlier reports that we should be able to merge the saved games into one another. I thought this would give us the ability to make our game more like ts2's saving lots.
3. advertising? any signs that the game we buy will be overwhelming with billborads etc.?
4. testingcheatsenabled - is the option for "set to birthday" there? if so, if aging is off, can you age up the sims you are playing?
thanks

No. EAxis will make more.

There's no such thing as a "merge saved games", but it appears the game MAY be more tolerant of attempting to export sims between neighborhoods. All friends will be lost, but without memories, there may be less detritus following you around.

I have not seen any attempts to phone home on my firewall, so if there's any advertising, I'm not seeing it.

Yes. In fact, that's the ONLY OTHER OPTION THERE. Testingcheats is really a misnomer now, it doesn't enable anything testy, it's purely woolprop.
