THE HORROR: The REAL TS3 Scoop As It Unfolds
J. M. Pescado:
Yes. I've been hacking into the system to discover that the Story Progression Off option does not appear to do anything, as the StoryProgression controller remains "Enabled" no matter what.

been following the goings on for a couple days now, so I thought I'd finally post some of my experiences, likes/dislikes.
First is a big issue that we had in TS2 seems to be back, and now since they've made the testingcheats alot less useful and non helpful, aside from raising motives and relationships, I could not fix the issue, and chose to just stop playing that family/neighborhood. My sims had a baby boy, and since it seems strangers, and visitors can just do as they please with your children (quite disturbing), that baby boy was KIDNAPPED! lol, they were throwing a party for their daughter's birthday, somewhere between the standing around waiting for people to move away from the cake so mom could take the kid to the cake, and the ending of the party, one of the guests had wondered upstairs and picked up the baby to do God knows what with him.
Right after the cake, the party ended, and the guy had a popup that said "Thanks for the great time! I have to be going now" then proceeded to leave, with the baby in his arms! After a few minutes, the baby's picture disappeared from the family panel and was never seen again.. He was still in the relationships, and family tree and even the loading screen picture, but in reality he didn't exist anymore. I invited the kidnapper over several times, visited his house, made him selectable, and the baby was nowhere to be found. It was strange though, that when the dad was out patrolling for his job, the baby's picture would move up to the front of the relationship tab, as if he were near him, but I never found him.
I kept thinking I would stumble across the poor thing on the road or sidewalk somewhere eventually lol. Since thats what the parents did with him when they were in town.. But I never found him, so I gave up.
Also, the testingcheats thing is annoying, it helps with motives and relationships, but its nowhere near as helpful as the TS2 version. I had a kid come home with my daughter, and she asked her to sleep over. Well they had been playing tag for like hours, and the friend stopped in her tracks and started panting and I thought she was about to pass out from exhaustion lol, so I made her selectable, in order to fix her needs. After that, there is no option anywhere to remove her from the family! So my sims, had now become kidnappers themselves, lol. Silly me, had not saved in quite some time, so in order to get rid of this kidnapped child I had to exit without saving. Another reason I gave up on that family.
So those are the bugs/annoyances I have found so far, aside from the gittery-ness my sims get sometimes, like out of nowhere they will start moving at super speeds, for no reason, lol. I have to restart my computer in order to fix the issue, since simply exiting and reloading the game does not help. But that is probably a computer problem I guess.

Ah, that makes sense.
Well actually it doesn't, because I can't understand how something of such Importance can be broken in this game, but that's EA so it makes sense again.
That may also explain why the heck Inventories get lost when you switch Households, who knows what kind of stuff those Sims do with Guitarrs, Books etc. when you turn your back on them ...
kislio:
I seem to be experiencing a bug - when a sim transitions to teen, they don't get their fourth trait. It says on the pop-up that they do, but it doesn't display the trait on their simology panel and they don't seem to show any signs of it. ???
coltraz:
MORE BUGS...
This is some fucked up shit, right here...
First look who he's talking to on the phone: (Upper left corner)
Now let's look at their relationship status...
I had them "go steady" and "Sam" was a teen. Now he's appearing to be a toddler, and before in Sam's house there was a young adult (or an adult), Sam, and a toddler. Now there's just the adult and a toddler. Very interested to know where Sam went or if he's for some reason now a baby again. Time warp.
In other news, I realized my Sims stereo only works when playing CUSTOM music! All other stations and Sims 3 music is not working.
sigh.
