Couple of early impressions---
--Creepy doll eyes are creepy
That is what put me off about the game. They move side to side at rapid speed sometimes. Reminds me of an old movie with Jane Fonda named Barbarella. The dolls in that movie gave me nightmares for a month and I quit playing with my "Walking" dolls. I was six.
Watch your sims when you pause. Their heads keep moving. And if you have moveobjects on and move them while paused, their heads and eyes move.

Corner counters: no longer a complete waste of space!
I know, it's great. I have a seven sim household going (cap seems to be eight again) and sometimes the kitchen can get a little hectic with kids grabbing stuff from the fridge, washing dishes, and someone preparing.

Yeah I guess they really listened to the complaints where money was too easy to come by. Now I'm sure there's plenty of ways to get rich quick, but if you just go the normal jobbing route, you don't start making a lot of money until very high in the career. It's a lot different. But also most of my playtime has been with single sims; I'm sure with more than that money is a little less scarce.
Collect ores. There's a mine that is always a good place for ores and metals. Also, Stonehenge is good for ores and rare bugs. Harvest wild fruit from parks and fishing areas. A day-long collecting spree will pay around $2k, much more than if you spent the entire day working a low-level career. Which you don't, since jobs are only about six hours.

I am happy to report that the money tree and elixir are back. Actually, elixir is a plant now, but works the same, and the tree lives a lot longer than other plants. It gives me 4 bags of money on each harvest, the most I got from one bag was 323 simoleons. But I think the amount decreases over time, like the BV trasure chest. Oh, and I love the rock collecting. My sims's house now looks like Ali Baba's cave! Wish I could open up a jewellery store. If you cut enough stones you get the option to cut them into plumbob shape. :)

Yeah, the problems I'm having with money aren't helped by me avoiding the collecting if the character wouldn't do such things. Something tells me a neurotic neat workaholic might not want to touch dirty rocks and bugs! :D
Thanks for the tips though, I'll have to check out those places with a collector type person at some point. Some of those things are worth a truckload.
Edit: Personally I've been pretty happy with how my sims have been looking, but I do agree on one thing: the sims' heads still moving after you pause CREEPS me the heck out.

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.
"SoundMAX Integrated Digital HD Audio".
I was playing before and all sounds were working fine. I updated my graphics card and then this happened... I can't imagine the two would be related. I think it might just be a glitch.
I had the stereo suddenly producing sounds a moment ago. When I have the Sim dance to the stereo it POOF! works.
And why would buy mode suddenly have the TV my Sim was watching functioning throughout it?
As for updating the SoundMAX driver, I'd love to. But I've never been able to. Ever! It always comes up with an error when I try to update it and going to device manager and doing "Update Driver" doesn't work.
Mr. Snooley:
I've bought the Business Towers and started to fire People because I simply didn't want those Jerks to work in my Business.
That's all nice and cool, but when I switch Households and then Switch back to my Main Sim, other Random Sims are now working in my Business, wich basically means that firing Sims does nothing but replaces the fired Sims.
Can anyone confirm this?
Could it be, that it has something to do with the stupid Story Progression not being truly deactivated?
