DUDE! That's supposed to be a camera? Please don't tell me this is what the in-game camera looks like. Man, GTA San Andreas had a better looking camera than that!
Might just be horrible fucking graphics settings.

I had no idea about package files and the food spoiling thing, thanks for the info!
So, are there any special files I should consider deleting to get rid of the issue? This problem only showed up after patching and installing WA.
Just FYI I Googled the food spoilage thing and a lot of people are also complaining about this on the EA BBS. So far it looks to me like it's a WA bug and not something being caused by package files. I guess EA is supposed to be looking into it.
ETA: To answer the OP's question, yes, I think it's worth it. There ARE a lot of interesting things to try out and to do. And I was in the camp that thought the whole idea was whacky (puleeze, Indiana Jones in a Sims game?) mostly because it doesn't fit my gameplay. I'm more into story-telling so I don't particularly like the goal oriented challenges because they just tend to get in the way of my story; this is why I could never play this game without mods because they allow me to fully control whether or not I want to play the silly game the developers made or play MY game the way I want to. I agree with those who say that sims 3 has gotten a bit off track with this aspect - although sims 2 also made players solve puzzles or accomplish goals, it could usually be ignored or avoided and by the time I started playing it it was completely customizable with mods anyway. S3 has way too much goal oriented crap in it that cannot be avoided at all without hacks; if you don't want to go on adventures your sim will never be able to buy a vacation house or stay more than 3 days. There will be hacks to fix this, I'm sure. But with a few exceptions, there's not a lot else to do there.
That said, because the base game was getting boring I am actually enjoying playing the EP. I think it will eventually get boring also, though, and that's the problem with TS3. IMO a lot of player control has been taken away. But you will see lots of different opinions and of course this is just mine.

My alternate theory is that those people having the problems NEED MOAR RAMS. 300 MB is a figure that seems very consistent with a computer that has inadequate RAMs on top of the drain imposed by Windoze and the minimum requirements for the game itself. Consider the numbers: WA lists a "Requirement" of 2 GBs of RAMs. This means that, because Windoze takes up half your RAMs and the requirements assume Windoze, TS3 will take up an actual 1 GB. This is a figure entirely consistent with what Task Manager will tell you. Now throw in 300 MBs of CC. You're talking now about 1.3 GBs of RAMs used, meaning 2.6 GBs of RAM in your computer (Windoze eats half). Throw in some change for "crap users tend to have running in the background", like spyware, browsers, and other crap, and you're rapidly approaching the 3 GB line of a 32bit system.
How does your game run? Do you have .package files in use?

ScorpioMaurus, could you please tell me where you got the lipstick in first pic?
NP it's from TSR by a creator called Lorieen (Glossy Lipstick by Lorieen) and it's a free one so no having to look around PMBD or anything
As for the Egyptian sim her lipstick is by Katelys (Lipstick 05) and is also free just in case anyone was wondering.

No my graphic settings are all on high except shadows and Draw distance are on Medium, That's the way the camera looks in CAS that shows when you choose the Photographer's Eye Trait. The cameras they use in game don't look that bad.
Then again it could be my GPU drivers I've had some trouble since installing the ATI drivers after 9.8. Sometimes the graphics in the games got screwy and 3 times it went into VPU Recover so I rolled them back to 9.7 and haven't had any problems since.
