THE HORROR: The REAL TS3 Scoop As It Unfolds
SlickCee:
Phyllis- My toddler did the same too. I also find the new "read to" interaction cute as well.
-I already got my Sim to the top of the law enforcement career,International Super Spy. From that point on all you can get are raises. Somewhere down the middle of the career you have two different paths to take. I forgot what the other one was but I decided to have my Sim go the secret agent route. It was cool seeing her don a different disguise every time she went to work.
-I also fulfilled my Sim's wish of being an accomplished writer. Right now she is earning over $10000 in royalty checks and I already completed two of the challenges in the writing skills' journal, only one more to go. Have to write twenty novels. Apparently I have 9 to go.
- I had my Sim explore the catacombs in the graveyard. A message popped up telling me she got her ass kicked by bears and this is how she emerged:
-My Sim went on a tour in the theater after getting a negative moodlet for staying in the the house for too long (Stir Crazy it was called). Only to emerge from the theater with another negative moodlet saying she was bored stiff and wishing they would shut up already. Story of my life.
-One thing I have not figured out yet is how to set up public places for parties. The method I'm using now is putting the things I need in the Sims' inventory and taking it from there. But even that don't work because I had a dilemma at the pool where the birthday cake would not place on the picnic table :P
-Now that my Sim is an elder she is seeing all her friends die off from age. For some reason she doesn't care. She spent a whole day consoling a friend at her house when her husband died. The game tells me to visit a friend whenever they are close to death.
- Something annoying that just began to happen. When I go out into the neighborhood and come back to the house, first the house remains blurry for a bit after I am close to it, and second, all the objects inside gradually retain their textures. As said, this is very annoying.
-A few pictures of my Sim, I don't think she looks *that* bad. Although for the life of me I cannot figure out how to get rid of the double chin.

Edit- Since someone mentioned it. I also hate it how you have to bring up the inventory to call a Sim. I find myself constantly clicking the Sim and looking for the call options. Why would they make it the way they did?

re: phone calling
You can also click on the headshot in the relationship panel and call them from there. Doesn't help for services, but I find that a lot faster / more intuitive.
BlueSoup:
Or you could click on a phone in the house. :P
All my Sims seem to want to write and paint, and learn logic, despite my changing around their traits. My male adult Sim is working on his 21st novel, and is making well over §7000 per week on royalties. Plus, he makes nearly §3K per day at work. I think since he's still just an adult I'm going to try and put him in a new career path, but I noticed that an opportunity came up that could have potentially got him sacked if he was caught (it was to write an article for a rival magazine). I wonder if he can get demoted for poor work performance? Anyone know if Sims can get demoted once they've reached the top of their career path?
I love that lifetime wants come up randomly for teens and you can either choose or not choose them, or wait for something better to come along.
My other Sim (his wife) just bought out the Little Corsican Bistro. The only options she gets, other than picking up the weekly dividends, is to rename the place or fire a Sim. But it's perfectly placed for an OFB-type EP. She can transfer and sell the deed too, obviously.

That's strange. When you use the house telephone, there should be an option "Throw party at..." that lets you throw public parties. You can only choose between 'destination' or 'wedding' though, so you're stuck at home with those birthday parties.
Wedding parties at the beach are quite pretty though (even with my crappy graphics card).
TashaYarrr:
Are there really no complete male outfits except the same nine that show up in Formal? Or is it me?
