THE HORROR: The REAL TS3 Scoop As It Unfolds
jello:
Well, a launcher would be a decent start at least.

Couple of early impressions---
--I can see why some people were initially thinking CAS was somewhat limited--it's not as intuitive as TS2 for figuring out how to find all the sliders. I'm reasonably pleased with it, but:
--Creepy doll eyes are creepy
--I've already had some ugly graphical things happen, first when trying to get the game into 1900:1200 (widescreen monitor), and now when alt-tabbing back and forth from full screen (graphical horror happens for a second, then the game seems to get things under control). But I've done a lot of overrides in my NVIDIA control panel, I may set those to default later.
--On a positive note: base game makeup actually has vibrant/visible colors, unlike TS2 where it was pretty much pointless. And the ability to pick main, highlight, lowlight colors for stuff like lipstick is teh hotness, sorry.

Well, my sim achieved that age-old Sims rite of passage by setting her kitchen on fire with Mac N Cheese.
New learnings:
- TS3 sims are much smarter about fires than TS2 sims. There was no firedance, and no motive hit either, which probably means that it'll be hard to kill them with fire too. She managed to extinguish it long before the fireman actually got there.
- When you burn down the stove, you get a clickable option to "Replace for $400," so you don't actually have to go into buy mode and figure out where it came from originally.

Is anyone else finding the graphics less than great?
All setting are on high, I have a NVIDIA GeForce 6800 GT.
I've tried so many things, changing the graphic card setting, playing around with in game settings,
yet everything is so SHARP. And the faces are terribly undetailed in game, they look nothing like the screen shots others have provided.
Maybe my computers just bad...
Getting a ASUS G17G next week so hopefully that will make a difference!
My computer's a two-year-old ASUS G1 and it's running the game well. :)

Everyone, regardless of video card, should also make sure their drivers are up-to-date.
It matters.
