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.
It's trait-dependent. I have a bookworm, and he automatically has the choice to go to the library or the book store. I also have an artist, and she has the automatic choice of going to the art museum.

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?
Yes.
When using the installer-spawned game exe, it wants to phone home. Denying it access to the Net makes it have a tanty and stop loading the game. This happens even when you say DNW to the EA Download Manager during install. Selecting either normal or custom install makes no appreciable difference.
When using TSE.exe from the crack folder, it doesn't phone home, but neither will it stay in the Processes list in taskmgr; IOW, it fails to load. Tried this both before and after uninstall/reinstall of installer-spawned exe.

I didn't even think of that. She did have the trait loves the outdoors. I wonder what traits my daughters sim had, to have no options

Saw another example of shoddy/lazy animation last night. My sim invited her best friend over, and best friend shows up carrying a toddler -- I'm not sure if it was her child or her grandchild, as she is an elder and I don't know when she transitioned. Anyway, when it came time to go and my sim asked everyone to leave, instead of picking up the toddler and carrying him out, the friend walked outside to leave as usual, and the toddler just *blink* disappeared.

Not sure if anyone here cares, but Microcenter has a special this weekend on the game. Pay $5 USian down and get the game for $19.99 instead of $49.99 when it comes out on the 2nd.
Could this be a response to the leak? I kind of doubt is as ads and offers are usually done way in advance, but who knows?
