I read somewhere that the Sims can move from the house they're in directly into another house. Is that true and how do you do it?
Check my posts on page 30.

- Gardening is cool but...is randomly picking up a seed off the ground the only way to get them? If so it strikes me as a little goofy. I'd rather be able to buy a pack of seeds at the store. You can always keep the uncommon and rare seeds lying around for sims to find. Otherwise I'm having a good time with it.
Actually you can buy all the common types of veggies at the food shop, and then just plant those. The seeds that you find can be common, uncommon, rare or special. The latter ones tend to not show up till you have a higher gardening skill. But you can get started with the common ones with no need to go scavenging.

Lol durr...I should have realized that because I noticed that I had a plant option on harvested veggies in her inventory.

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.
Could very well be a bug, but it's interesting that you said that yours is an HD audio sound card. Regardless of brand, they all seem to be a little wonky. Mine would work on and off on various things (internet, Winamp, Sims 2, etc.) until I found the registry fix. Might be worth some investigation on Google.
Still could be a bug though. I've noticed that music sounds a little strange, and sometimes it takes a few minutes (real time) for you to hear anything. Unless it's this damn HD card acting up again.

A few random thoughts and comments:
~ My Sim had a boyfriend when she asked another guy (George, her boyfriend's roommate) who was classified as her "love interest" to move in with her. He agreed, and then suddenly he asked her to breakup with her boyfriend. A popup came up and asked if she would like to end her relationship with her boyfriend, and I clicked yes, and it said something like "Sheila has ended her relationship with Bob. However, Bob is not happy with George, perhaps they can regain their friendship over time" or something like that. I thought this was interesting and kind of funny.
~ I do love the career advancement system. I like the categories for advancement and the fact that they involve more than skill building. For example my journalist Sim needed to advance in charisma, and writing obviously, but also in freelance writings from interviews and articles. It's cool.
~ I also really like how you can chose how they spend their time at work and that they can - ahem - build their skills at work.
~ My game has frozen twice during saving. Pissed me off.
~ testingcheatsenabled might just be as buggy as it used to be. I had it on, and when I clicked on buy mode, everything was completely blacked out. Not grayed out as though I couldn't buy anything - a complete black hole.
~ The clothing is exceptionally limited on the male side. I searched for the life of me and couldn't find a simple suit and tie.
~ I do love the new options in CAS but with regards to facial structure, it can't hold a candle to TS2's Bodyshop. So much for high cheekbones and strong-jawed hunks. I am really going to have to spend some time trying to mess with the sliders to get the type of Sims I like.
~ We need more skintones.
~ The eyes are creepy. They have no depth, just pools of color.
Also a question:
Does anyone know how to put already-made food in an inventory? It just won't go. The little hand does not appear when I tried to drag it to my Sims individual inventory, and there was a red x when I tried to put it in the household one. I lost a friggin challenge because of this. :/
