*How do you take screenshots? I gotta look around more and figure this out.
Camera icon on the interface. It's at the bottom of the all the buttons. And unlike TS2, you get nice, large screenshots.

*Can we PLEASE get rid of the mosaic?!
What, you mean you don't like that giant floating eyesore?
Seems it'll be more complicated than a console cheat this time, though.

*I also miss my sim wardrobe auto bill payer. I had the repo guy show up because I was too busy to pay bills
When the pop up notifications bug you that you only have one day left to pay your bills, there is a "pay bills now" button there--if you click it, your bill will automatically be paid and you don't have to send someone to do it.

I don't get why people are saying you can only play one family per hood? ...The reason for this is the family now has to live it's own life while your away so any wishes promised must be handled by them not you.
There is the answer to your question. We object to things happening outside our control (where sims are concerned). They do things when we're not playing them, the bastards. In TS2, they would stay reasonably static until you went back to them. We liked that (for the most part, I mean, and not meaning to speak for all MATY at all, nope). If I create a sim, I don't want him dying on me without my intervention while I'm off playing another house (or getting married, or having babies, or buying a car, or burning down the kitchen yet again, or getting some hopeless job, etc.).
I guess, considering everything, if I play TS3 for any extended period, I will have to get used to it though, or play the enforced legacy style.

That Snooty thread is funny. Now they're saying "This glitch PROVES it's a beta!".
Heh, I have three words for them: original jump bug.
When does betting open on how soon a patch is released?

This is the bit that the control-freaks amongst us (myself included) DO NOT WANT. We DO NOT WANT them to live their own lives while we're away playing other households. We want them to mark time (a la Sims 1 and Sims 2) until we get back to that household's turn to be played again. We WANT to lock in some wishes and come back later to fulfil them next time we play their household, not have them go off and take their lives in totally different directions to those we've planned for them.
We want to play them, not watch from a distance as they live their own lives - I already have a TV I could watch if that was what I wanted.

I don't have the game. I have two questions:
1. Townies. I know they come back. Does anyone see a way to eliminate them or at the very least prevent them from breeding? (Aging them prematurely,Getting rid of males)? They have homes right? Can their homes be deleted? There must be some way to destroy the townies. Can we kill their offspring at child ages?
2. The awful one family per neighborhood thing. What happens if you set your family/neighborhood on a long life span/slow time? Would it be easier to play more than one family this way without having your unplayed family get all fishbowled?
I am hating the one family bit, but I feel strongly that there might be a cheat that allows families to be paused that we don't know about yet.
Please oh please let this be a beta.
