A question on Skills
Motoki:
For me with EAxis story, almost nothing happens but then sometimes something really bizarre happens like someone dies or just disappears forever. With Awesome story nothing happens. And with Twallan story a lot happens, unless you scale it back via configuration.
Personally I like things to happen. I don't want to control the whole town, I want them to just go off and do things on their own and live their own lives (or give me the appearance that they are living their own lives) without me having to interfere, except when my sims interact with other sims.
If all of that is too much for someone, Twallan story is completely configurable. Almost too much so. You can configure and turn on or off literally ever aspect of it so it's really just as active or non-active as you want it to be.
As far as being able to see the actions being done, I don't care. It's done off screen to me so it doesn't make a difference one way or another if I can observe it.
I can see though where Awesome story would appeal more to those who are playing the town as a whole, and not just one family, and really anal 'detail oriented' types like cwurts who simply must micromanage everything.
Personally, a like a story, I like things to happen without me having to initiate them. I like some randomness. Sometimes shit just happens.
A little bit of unpredictability, as long as it doesn't go overboard, keeps things fresh and interesting for me. It's especially important for me in this game because I find I often get to the point where it just feels like same old same old like a hamster running in place on a wheel so I get bored and stop playing.
I also like that Twallan story is completely configurable. Awesomestory is basically just on or off. If a certain option annoys you (like the damned cribs ugh!) you can turn it off with Twallan story but not with Awesome story.

Lack of repercussions for slutty sims? Call a meteor using debug commands. It's not as good as TS2's smiting, because often there are side casualties, but it reinforces that ROMANCE SIMS MUST DIE. At least, married ones who sleep with half the town should. Ambitions has given me back a little bit of my old Oversoul justice system, though unfortunately there is no way to safely and fully implement Free Love.

There is a Big book of skills on MTS that can also set the skill level of your Sims, including hidden skills. I find it useful for when I don't want to go searching through all of the supercomputer's sub-menus looking for one thing. :)
Interesting. Good to know.
Otherwise, I'm quite pleased to find out my question has garnered so many different opinions, I've gleaned a lot of info from this. Still experimenting with Twallan SP, so nothing to say about it and AM contrast yet.

Obviously, there are people who don't care for the "Hard" world, and for them, there's the fluffy Twallanian Story.
"You're vile! You're foul! You're FLAWED!"
"And also cute and FLUFFY!!!"

Almost a week into my testing, and I've come across a problem... All of the babies born in my hood deform into brown graphical sticks...
I've asked the people at Twallan about it and they referred me to the "stick baby" problem caused by bad cc (a discussion on ts3 official website) http://ts3.tscexchange.com/index.php?topic=3482.msg17220#new
But I'm not entirely sure that's the problem, as I haven't downloaded any new cc in a while, and I never had any problem like this before I installed Twallan's mod's... so, just putting this out there to see if any of the knowledgeable people here know about this.
