BUG!

Music isn't working in my game. Nothing is muted, but build/buy are silent. For a while, if I went from Live to Buy or Build, the TV in live mode would remain on complete with video and sound. Now it's back to doing its regular pause but all is quiet.

The radio doesn't produce any sound either.


Do you know what brand your sound card is?  I found out that mine had certain problems with Flash videos and video games, so I had to update drivers (which is ALWAYS important) and find a certain registry fix for the problem.

One thing I have not figured out yet is how to set up public places for parties.

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).

I'm sure I'm not the only one who finds the beach romance ruined by the waves clipping through the hair.

However the hell that works out. Transparency issue in those specific spots I suppose.

I finally decided to join all the fun and download this game to see what it was like.  

I have to say, it looks nice but I just spent about five hours of RL time playing the same sim and she hasn't made too much progress.  She is in a relationship with some guy named Xavier who has commitment issues.  I am not sure if this is a bug but everytime he rejects one of her romantic actions, they all fail afterwards (even very basic ones) and I just have to say goodbye to him.  They have woohooed three times, she is currently preggers by him, but I have a feeling she is going to be a single parent the way things are going.

The seamless town is cool, I haven't really explored it enough yet for it to be any different then hanging out at a single lot in TS2.

I am probably alone on this but the whole designing my own things is really overwhelming.  I think I am the type of person that likes what is available to be right in front of my eyes.  I got a bit tired of designing every little thing because the defaults suck.  Themed wallpapers are terrible!  I felt like I was in the seventies while looking through the majority of them.

I think I will enjoy it once I get into it more, but it made me miss TS2!

Oh no, I know how to throw parties at public places(I already threw 2). I just don't know how to decorate that public place for the party, you know, like balloons, a table to put the cake on, etc... A warning always comes up a hour before the party saying I should set up. That's what I don't get. Or maybe I am just reading too much into it.
  Also, the parties in Sim 3 seem to be easier to make great compared to the Sims 2.

I just carried a guitar and then played for tips throughout the party. :P
