I had difficulty hiring a nanny. Both of my adults had to go to work because NO MATERNITY LEAVE FUCK YOU AMERICA *cough* and I couldn't find Nanny anywhere on the phone ???
Apparently if you leave the house, the baby is magically whisked away to day care. Children can be home by themselves.

Stop replacing the broken items. Even my Sims with pretty low handiness levels seem to be able to fix the items. Send them out fishing also if you need more money. It's easy to rack up the cash that way.
Plus, as you build up mechanical points, you get the options to upgrade in ways that make them break less often. Since the beginning of my household, I've had one sim do all the repairs. He was a full adult when he joined in and now has reached the point where the game is telling me of his impending death. The cheap computer still breaks every week or so, but nothing else has broken for ages with me doing whatever upgrade I could as they came available. And this is a two-bathroom household for six sims.

And sometimes they don't come home when you get home. I had to wait until I went to work and then came home again one day with my first game spawn.

That's because there' not one.
I just made an elder and dressed her up like a nanny and moved her ass in. Gotta have my nannies!
I another of my houses I moved one of those 'public gardener' townies in because I got tired of fussing with all the plants.
The lack of almost any service npcs besides the really half assed maids that don't work worth a shit is annoying.

After a week of play.. here is my take.
The game is different than TS3. Good or bad is a matter of individual taste.
Here are some basic thoughts.
-The game focuses more on individual families rather than global community and community stories. You never really need to leave your home lot, and are not really encouraged to do so.
-There's no real community growth without your direct input.
-Some of the vistas look very beautiful if you scroll in tight on your sim and rotate the camera to view the horizon (this requires switching to TS3 style camera controls in options.. the default options do not let you do this.)
-Because there are not many interesting mods to contribute to actual gameplay yet... it still feels rather empty and meaningless. (this will probably change unless modding TS3 ends up just being more enjoyable for the more talented people)
-The game is very easy if you have good showers stoves etc.. and unplayable if you have poor quality appliances and furniture. (unless you mod)
-Relationships are easy and meaningless. Cheat on your spouse in front of their face.. call their mother a llama.. slap them around.. then woohoo all you want not 5 minutes later.
-Load time is good... drawback, basically every lot is on its own. Sure you see your neighbors house.. but it's just fluff.. you can't see in it and nothing comes out of it.
I could go on. I think it's better if I sum it up as this.
The game is not TS3... but it is not bad. It is a beta shell ready for the unpaid EA development staff (modders) to take over and make it fun.
Advice: Do not buy it now and do not buy it at this price. Wait until people mod in some depth to the game (and no i don't mean expansions.. they will just be additional shells) Wait for the modding community to do the job right.
The only reason to buy it now is if you want to get a jump on modding the thing yourself.. otherwise you are not missing out on a dang thing.

If you don't mind a digital download version of this game then you can go to CDKeys.com and get it for quite a bit cheaper. I bought mine for $45.25 and this week it's less expensive than what I paid.
