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.
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.
She did not have the Brave trait, but she was also a CAS sim. Maybe it's a bug with sims created in CAS? If anything, I would have expected her to overreact, since she's neurotic.
In other news, this neurotic artistic sim finished her first novel - she gets $142 or so every week on Sunday for 6 weeks. So, in order to get to $500 a week, she'll have to write a few more of those sometime during the next six weeks. Fortunately, this is all tracked for you in the skills diary (or whatever it's called) which you can get to by clicking the little icons next to where it shows how many skill points you have.
Unfortunately, my sim's novel broke the Library's computer. Will some NPC/townie come around to fix it, or do I have to risk my sim's life repairing it? She doesn't have enough money for her own computer, and there's no option for her to call a repairman to fix the library's computer.
In still other news:
Corner counters: no longer a complete waste of space!
Interestingly, even with all the blocking problems evidenced so far, the man making the food was able to easily navigate between and around the two women talking in the middle of his kitchen, both to prepare the food and to take the plate out of the kitchen and into the dining room. I confess I do not understand.

Ok a few questions......
Sims CHILD: What musical instrument can they play? I can only find the gruitar and it doesn't have options for the children to use it, only teen and above. I swear I had seen screenies that children were playing the guitar.
Clothes: I haven't found what store you are supose to be able to BUY additional clothing? Can you buy clothes in this game??
Cheats: Can we set up a cheat starting thinger like we did in TS2? Or do we have to type testingcheatsenabled every time. Are there any other cheats than that is listed in the help menu?

Clothes are no longer bought. You simply go to a dresser/wardrobe/whatever, go to plan outfit, and you can choose whatever clothing you want. You can also make 3 separate outfits for each clothes category.

That's a stupid backtrack to TS1.

Well, the only difference from TS2 really is that you don't have to pay $200 a piece anymore, and money has really been tight, at least for me. $200 never made much sense for a piece of clothing anyway, except in the context of TS2, where money grows on trees.
