THE HORROR: The REAL TS3 Scoop As It Unfolds
Lorelei:
Supposedly you can assign hair / makeup to each outfit category, but I will be buggered if I could figure out how. Also, as noted earlier, the hairstyles mostly suck and clip into the Sims. If accessories can go on either hand / side, it is also not obvious how it is done.
Male hairstyles are particularly pathetic, with nothing in between teen / 20-something scruffy and Balding Mid-life Crisis Guy or Buttrocker. Men in their late 20s-late 40s have nothing, really; and, as Pescado already ROARED about, there are no Long Beards or Chrome Dome Bald Heads.
I do like the colour wheels. They get a bene for those.
Keeping in mind that wacky haircolour and skin colour and eyebrows, etc., seem to be thrown in a Cuisinart and doled out at random to any sproggens, I tried to make more androgynous Sims, and soon gave up. There are few combinations of Sim builder traits and preferences that still look decent if you swop the genders around.
Struggling to avoid a pudding-y Sim means that the CAS stage takes 5x as long, and even not-so-fat-faced Sims can wind up with mysterious double chins. DNW.
My audio is stuttering, which may be a personal issue since I multitask and am running TS3 in windowed mode. It is also SLOW to respond to CAS turn arrows, and all too quick to respond to mouseover movement directives.
In windowed mode (800x...), when you create your Sims (plural) in CAS and get asked to drag and drop them to determine their relationship, the window, which is not drag and droppable, is directly on top of your Sims. However, random flailing about with your mouse will pop the Sims into the relationship "family tree" portrait boxxen.
Other than the novelty factor of a new game on hand, it isn't impressing me yet, save the aforementioned colour wheel idea.
I was relieved to see that there was no counterpart to "dislikes children"...if there was a "broody" or "clown car" trait, imagine how much worse the rampant ensproggening going on would be! Egads.
If cntl+shift+C still opens the cheatiness, do we have confirmation on what works yet? I see "help", but I could have sworn I heard someone claim "motherlode" and "testing cheats enabled" still work. O RLY? Do share, plz.

Well they said CC would only be available on the exchange (or through their dealers). I'd like to know too...can they ban modding/sharing content if it's not for profit?
Holy shit, did they really say that? I haven't been paying much attention since the delay was announced. They've specifically taken a stand against the free sharing of custom content unless it's within their control? That is...amazingly retarded, even for them.

In the hair category, there's a little lock icon on the top right that controls outfit usage. Locked is all outfits, unlocked is different outfits. I can't figure out how to get the oppsite side for accessories either. I want to see confirmation that someone has done it, until then I don't believe it can be done.

There is a clown-car trait, it's called Family Oriented. Both my Sims are insane for kids, but I gave them three and I can't raise any more.

Yep, that's still the command to bring up the console. testingcheatsenabled true works, they've dropped the boolprop. motherlode and kaching and moveobjects on still work too.

Lorelai (btw love your ferret video), for the first part go to the dressing room / create a sim / plan outfit type screen. Go to clothes, select for example Formal (so your dressing-room Sim is now wearing formal). Now go back to hairstyles. Make sure the padlock icon is unlocked, and select what you want for their formal hairstyle. Now repeat with other clothings. i.e., you have to go BACK to clothes, pick PJs, then BACK to hair. Near as I can tell, anyway. Retarded. I can't figure out how to move accessories to the other side though.

This may not be the place for this and I'm not sure that anyone has been talking about it, but are there plans to share stuff from the TS3 store if it proves to be possible? Especially if they're giving points out to people who buy the game, maybe those who buy it can all brainstorm/play around and figure out how to share and who is planning on buying what so that no-one wastes their money?
If I understand the great paysite debate correctly so far, EA add-on content will *not* be shared (at least not via PMBD?) because they are the only one with the legal right to sell it.
Someone correct me if I've got it wrong.
No, PMBD will be out of this one. Although I would think that they will be sharing TSR TS3 pay content.
