THE HORROR: The REAL TS3 Scoop As It Unfolds

I don't think the trees and shrubs will look nice in sims 2. Basically, they are a set of polygons, that always turn their face towards you as you move the camera. By this they actually make up the lack of detalisation. In sims 2 they can't do this, and so will look strange and poor.
OK, I sort of suspected it might be a "trick".

After 9 long years (since Sims 1) Sims can FINALLY watch tv from any angle. :o This has always been one thing that irritated me .

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?
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.
Actually Pes, Shift-Click the mail box... More options.
Shift-Click the ground you can teleport.

A few random thoughts:
Hats separated from hairstyles in CAS - FINALLY. But since when do simple braids or a ponytail constitute a hat? Also, I thought the advent of create-a-style would mean the end of having to scroll through thirty-seven screens of the same damn hairstyle, the only difference being the color of the barrette. Ditto for outfits; I want ONE of each model displayed, and I can take care of my own colors and patterns, 'kay thanks. Of course if they did that it would be even more obvious that we only got fifteen actual outfits with the game.
Add some more hate for the round faces. I like to make sharp-faced, pixielike Sims; the best I could do here was vaguely heart-shaped. So not impressed.
Some of the buildings on the map don't seem to have flags. My test Sim had rolled a few wishes to take Handiness classes and gain skill. It took me forever to discover the unmarked army base in the lower left corner of the map that housed the classes.
One thing that initially amused me but is getting old: the test Sim has the Evil trait, and whenever I click on an object, I get "Take Evil Shower", "Fiendishly Eat Quick Meal", "Evil Dance", etc. As far as I can tell, the actions aren't done any differently than the regular kind, so why the distinction? It just seems silly.
Overall, I'm enjoying myself, though I'm not sure how entertaining it will be once the shiny rubs off, especially if mods are out of the question. I guess we'll see.
Oh -- one thing that made me laugh. I had a burglar show up on the lot and just as he was getting ready to walk in, my neighbor raced over from her house, beat the piss out of him, and drove him off. Awesome.
ETA: That was metaphorical piss. No actual pee was involved. It occurred to me that, being a Sims game, I should clarify.
