Ambitions: What's Fixed
Northstar:
I REALLY like this expansion! Because of tragic consequences following WA installation, I've been playing a game-provided couple rather than my own Sims, so maybe the were just created with a really good combination of traits, but they seem 'smarter' than in previous games. They actually clean, skill, etc. without any mods tweaking them. Even the laundry thing is one fairly well. The graphics are cool. I think I'll probably tackle a new career this evening.

Heh, just try planting a detonator in the laundromat. Chained explosions and screaming, panicking sims FTW!

Weather did change in Sunset valley, but Sunset Valley has a very...sunny climate. So there will be light clouds and that's pretty much it.
Twinbrook has an awesome weather system, because half the time it's 10am and I dont realize it because it's still dark out from the clouds. The water ranges from grey to green to blue to orange depending on the weather and time of day, and the foggy days are really impressive. It feels a lot more alive.
uknortherner:
Now that I've played for longer, I would agree. A lot of it is down to the lighting being far more dynamic than before, and you do notice subtle changes in white balance even in the space of an hour (a long hour admittedly, as I'm using Twallan's Relativity mod). Less impressive, however is the way the fog cuts through walls and into houses - good for derelict properties, bad for homes that actually has residents.
On the subject of lighting though, there's room for improvement. One of the new lamp-posts has a borked diffuser texture rendering it black (it should be white - see the ones outside the school), and most lights still do not radiate up multiple floors (though some do?).
Also, although blowing up the laundromat was fun for shits and giggles, the game does NOT respawn anything that has been completely destroyed, so now I have a machine-less laundromat as a result.
Claeric:
Just did my first ghost hunting mission. The spirits are cute, and the music, while repetitive, is charming. I like how the lights all turn red and the people are freaking out. It's fun.
