THE HORROR: The REAL TS3 Scoop As It Unfolds
nanacake:
Was the piracy link on the main Sims 3 site always there? The pdf also?

Sounds like it would be easy to do a "Chucky" Sim then.

Hmmm... maybe this varies by traits or something else. When playing with the Bachelor family they all did the firedance, even Mortimer who was visiting at the time. It was just as hard to distract them as in TS2. Only one of the adults got the "Extinguish fire" option, which kept dropping from the queue. When playing with my CAS-made sim, she calmly tried to put it out. but was trumped by a fireman.
If it's by traits, Bella shouldn't have been firedancing- she's Brave. Then again, she's also a 6, maybe that has something to do with it?

Brief thoughts on the game:
EA must have a string of EPs planned. I don't need to dive into every rabbit hole but restaurants (since I have to wait anyway) would have make sense. Doesn't look like they EAxis couldn't do it--more like decided this will be great for an add on. Seems like opening the movie theater would have made for interesting options, like taking the sims to see movies you created or "cuddle/kiss/woohoo in theater"--they do it everywhere else.
Ditto for the gorgeous neverending ocean that you can't swim in, the EP$ count continues. I forsee a heavily overpriced boating/fishing/swimming "fun" pack. On that same note (& yes I know it's a game but) who would stand on the shore hoping to catch a big fish? I don't think a pier is such a far-fetched idea to include. Then again if you dont have swimmers I guess it's no biggie.
Weird that you can talk to a newly met sim's unborn baby but if they're holding a child you can't interact with it.

Someone mentioned earlier that there's no camera mode? There is. You have to enable video capture in options; you decide how long you want it to film, & no I didn't check the maximum record time.
Overall Rating: Mildly fair but very disappointing after TS2. Looks like they had the opportunity to really do something great and decided to go for a quick buck. I guess if you're about 8-12 & have TS2 without any hacks or mods then this would blow you away. I see enjoyment after awesome fixes and mods.
I guess EA hit their target audience perfectly--gradeschoolers (fresh off of playing my Sims kingdom) think the game is great.

I just found another bug when in game. My sim is artistic and so I have her playing the guitar ALL the time. I noticed after a while that I couldn't find her guitar anywhere, I literally searched the whole house [she hadn't been out of the house] and even double/tripled checked her inventory. Nothing. So I thought "oh well" *shrug* and bought her a new one.
Then later on while visiting the graveyard she went to explore and when she came out I saw this:
Horrified! I cannot get the guitar off her! I've tried clicking and dragging it into the inventory but nothing. WTF is that about!
Someone was talking about this before -- I think it was earlier in the thread. I'm too lazy to go look for it, but I think they used moveobjects to fix it.
