The Maxis chat ... was it worthless?

(1/2) > >>

DJsimmy:
Aside from the contents of "Mrs. Crumplebottom's purse", did anyone actually learn anything from what was discussed?  It's disappointing that the Maxoids never answered any important questions -- just the silly ones   :(

Oooohhh, Mrs Crumplebottom - I miss her for sure...:). I remember that when my sims were at the community lot, and she was around, I never gave them to hug/kiss, scared that she will "smack" them with it. Only when she went away, I dared slowly to allow them hugging and kissing...and I never understood what does it mean "make out", because always when my sim tried to do that, he was slapped...:). So I never used it...:).

Usually, you can learn things from the discussion, depends what was the question, or the experience described. You don't have to depend on the Maxoids to answer your question, they are players like you, and have one main role: to watch that the EA forum rules are kept. Some of them are TTT, quite new  players.

Don't go to the "General Discussion" section - there are all the nonsense threads; keep visiting Technical Help, Game Help, and University; I found there quite a lot good suggestions...:).

As usual, there was a lot of garbage in the chat with a LOT of rehashing of things that have been known for a long time.  But there was some usefull information sprinkled in.

1. the skyscrapers shown are props, but you will be able to make your own skyscrapers.
2. You can click on a neighbors house and load the lot without going to the neighborhood screen, was confirmed.
3. Fire hydrants added?  Will the current firefighters use them?
4. several different driveway designs.
5. You can have a dj table and karoke machines on a residential lot.
6. Cars will have car alarms.
7. you can have alien/zombie/vampires confirmed
8. pleasure sim aspirational failure involves a lampshade on their head
9. Nightlife will try to fix as many of the bugs to university as they can.  The rest will be handled with the standalone patch.
10. largest lot size will now be 5x6 and cost 18,500.
11. you can put any object into your inventory.
12. teens can drive siblings to school
13. you can fight rivals or pay them off to get rid of them

Zythe:
I'm sad. The alien-vampire-zombie thing sounds good to me lol :D as does the ability to put anything in an inventory, and so, make proper cemetaries.

MutantBunny:
New cheat that will allow us to change pitch of roofs. Yay.
