THE HORROR: The REAL TS3 Scoop As It Unfolds
Gelina:
I think I found a bug. I was playing one household that had 3 children in it, then I switched to playing a different household. When I switched back to the first household, it was time for all 3 of the children to grow up (1 to adult, 2 to teens). Apparently when you don't babysit your family, the children's grades tank which means that you don't get to pick their traits on their birthday. So I aged up all three children and their new trait was randomly picked. All three of them ended up with the "artistic" trait, which is alphabetically the first trait.

I only played for a few minutes last night, before my daughter took it over, she played for a while. (will find out how she liked it when she wakes up).
I did notice a few differences though. When I played I just wanted to check it out so I just grabbed the Martinez family from the bin and plopped them in a house. I played the female, I think her name was Jennifer, and when I clicked on her it gave options to go to the park, public pool, etc.
When my daughter started she created a female in CAS, moved her in, and the only option she got when clicking on the sim was to change clothes.
She came from CAS with 2 books in her inventory and all she wanted to do was read.
I thought this was strange, for hers not to have the same options.
I wonder if the other hood will be easier to play, without all the forced control over the game. They have time to sneak some fixes into that download...I hope.

Well I'm just wondering, maybe all these bugs, like the speed problem, the graphic glitches, etc. are caused by the crack you're all using. I don't mean the stuff you buy on the street. :) The crack that comes with the torrent download is probably suspect and that's why you're all experiencing these bugs in the game.
That's a little bit far fetched. A crack changing animations would be a wondrous being.

I tried to figure out, how available funds are calculated and here’s what I found out:
Variables:
A = House unfurnished – see in buy mode. This is NOT a price of a bare house. It includes kitchen and bathroom furniture, similar to AL, includes also trees, bushes, flowers, driveway, ceiling, wall and outdoor lights.
B = House furnished - see in buy mode, includes everything.
C = Free cash.
D = House value - from moving out menu. There is a slight difference from B sometimes, but I can’t figure out why.
E = House value unfurnished - can’t see from moving out menu, but it is the price of a bare house, with NO furniture, includes trees, bushes and flowers.
Calculation:
Available funds to buy a new home with furniture packed and selling only a house: E+C
Available funds to buy a new home with selling furnished: D+C
So if you want to change a house, you should not base your decision on buy/build mode number, but instead try to move out with the computer and check numbers there. And when choosing a house keep in mind that unfirnished house still includes appliances and lights.

Thank you everyone for giving such good details. I have a question, though, that one of you might be able to help me with. Did anyone get a box saying that you have to connect to the internet while on the loading screen? And if so, how did you get past this? I would greatly appreciate the help.
Thank You.
