THE HORROR: The REAL TS3 Scoop As It Unfolds
jolrei:
My first impressions of the game are:
1) I like the look of it. Admittedly, with the graphics settings I am forced to use by my old video card to run anything at any speed, things look a bit like a very hazy day. Must continue tweaking the graphics settings and see if I can't improve that.
2) The interface is slightly different, (if it's a new game, why should it be exactly the same?) but not annoying so far.
3) The sims themselves don't look that bad - quite good actually.
4) I don't really know how to do anything yet in game. The Martinez family has given up on me and has decided to read their lives away.
5) I hate the Martinez family already, and I've only played them for 20 minutes. I will kill them very dead shortly.
I have not yet had a chance to become annoyed with the scavenger hunt aspect of the game. I plan to become remarkably annoyed with that later today.

-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
You have to "edit neighborhood" and go to the site ahead of time and set up the stuff you want to use. I don't know if you can put the birthday cake there in advance, but I don't know why not. My political gal had a want to through a campaign fundraiser, so she threw it at the art museum. I went there in edit neighborhood mode and put up balloons, a bar, and a buffet table. Didn't cost my gal anything. When she got there it cost her $250 to "serve" the buffet table. I couldn't determine that there are any bartenders, but people were able to make themselves drinks. When they finished eating, they set the plates on the floor and they disappeared, so no mess. It was highly successful. She raised something like $35,000 in campaign contributions.
I think I may just leave the buffet and bar there in case I have other parties there in future.
OH, so that's how you do it. I just found the edit neighborhood tool so maybe that's why I couldn't figure it out. Thanks a lot ;).

God, it's annoying when people do that. That's not the value of the lost retail sales, it's the total sale value of the pirated copies. They have no reason to assume each of those pirated copies is one that would otherwise be a sale.

Yeah, sure, because if you download a game, that automatically means you're not buying it... Great thinking. *sigh*
