THE HORROR: The REAL TS3 Scoop As It Unfolds
Marhis:
I bit the bullet and I've played for a few hours so far.
I want to look at the bright side, remembering when I played TS2 the first time, and I felt uneasy, because of the novelty. I still feel better playing TS2, just like I felt about TS1, back in those days, until I was a little more experienced in TS2.
Still, I'm not intrigued enough, now, about TS3. It's weird, because up to a certain point, I could be an ideal TS3 player: I don't mind realism at all, I like cartoonish sims and maxis-match stuff; I don't care about skilling and game goals; I also love to watch the sims doing their stuff on their own. In short, I'm totally the opposite of those who like to micromanage and tell their sims what to do.
Fine; for players like me, this game - AFAICK - is crap. So far, it's extremely disappointing. I love to watch sims doing stuff autonomously, even important ones; I'm not their overlord, but a sort of helper: you want to marry that guy? I hate him, but ok, I will marry you; you want to spawn babies? Fine, you'll have them, and so on.
That's the point: I like to WATCH them do stuff, not learn it by newspaper titles or something like that.
I played the Goths and then the Bachelors for 2 days, and Mortimer and Bella were both at 4 days before aging up when I left. I then sent my CAS sim to chat with a neighbor for a while and the next day both Mortimer and Bella were teens. WTF??
The only way to play I can spot is playing compulsively every household for max 1 day and then switch to another, to keep up with their frenzy. Or having many games, each one with only 2 household played, but it would result in a confusing mess.
I passed the most of the playing time taking notes of the most important mods it will require for me enjoing this game. First will be the new interaction "Punch in da face the moron who makes silly faces all the time". Really, I already hate this with a passion. Apparently in my game everyone thinks this is the best interaction ever, and keeps doing it all the time, wherever they are. And no, it CAN'T BE tight pants :(.

I was able to make a 2nd household. I just went into edit town, created a new sim, moved him in and changed active household. The other Sim lost his wishes and whatnot, but I was able to switch between them. I really have no idea what the hell they were thinking with that little feature. I can also play any of the premade Sims in the NHood when I select change active household. Took me awhile to figure all that out though. Stupid annoying feature.
TashaYarrr:
Is it wrong that I have major schadenfreude over "Render Girl" not being in the game? I was hanging around snooty sims a few months back watching people try to convince themselves the game wasn't being delayed, and the obsession with render girl was really disturbing.
seanachai:
The Snooty Sims forums are just disturbing in general, anyway. :-\

Has anyone been able to move the screen from side to side, etc? I mean using the cursor at the sides or top/bottom to just move the screen. I can tilt and rotate, but I can't just use the cursor to move view. Kind of frustrating having to rotate and zoom to see what the hell they are doing.
