The new pre-made houses in the lots bin and in the downtown area are kinda nice. Especially that big $88k house, think it was called "House of Fallen Trees" or something. Three stories and an insanely deep basement with two coffins at the bottom.
Unfortuantly that lot is just too huge for my meager amout of RAM to keep up with.
Yes, I love that house as well and all of the new houses. I really like that idea that you can live downtown also.

2) When a Sim serves a group meal, you can click on the serving platter to call the whole family to eat.
Have you actually gotten that to work? When I tried, the guests just went about their business sitting in the hot tub or playing kicky bag etc.
Doesn't work for me at all. Tried it with Nina Caliente. Everyone just kept doing what they were doing. No one came to the table. :(
An aside... be careful of the initial invites downtown. You never know who's going to show up in the group. Nina received my first call to go downtown from Don Lothario. I had her accept because it was the first time I had a sim go downtown. Well, 7 sims in total were in the cab when it arrived at the restaurant - Don, Nina, Dina, Cassandra, Angela and Lilith Pleasant, and Alexander Goth. All Maxis created Sims that I've played. It was a disaster! Nina kissed Don immediately upon exiting the cab, which made Dina furious. Also, Cassandra and Dina have the Don in common. Cassandra followed Dina around the lot all evening slapping her. Nothing stopped it! And unfortunately, it's all saved. Now Dina keeps stopping by Nina's house and kicking over the trash or stealing her newspaper! I have so much relationship clean up to do...

Yes, but supposedly you can't put hacks in subdirectories anymore, or so I've heard. I haven't tried because I ended up yanking of mine. :(

Don't worry Motoki. Hacks still work in subfolders. It seems everything works in them now (hallelujah!), at least everything I've got in my game.

4) This may be my imagination, but I think the colors seem brighter than before. Anybody else notice this? (I have a Radeon 9600XT video card.)
Oh, and here I thought I was going senile. There seems to be more detail and somewhat better color handling. Maybe you're not imagining things :P

I think the lighting is better, too, and colors more vibrant. Could be related to the new "dynamic lighting." The only glitch I have as far as lighting goes is that some lamps with separate shades don't use the "lit" texture when they're turned on. It's hit and miss...some shades light up, others don't, even within the same style lamp, and they all worked fine before NL. But they cast light properly, so I'm not going to sweat it.
My favorite new feature is Slow Dance. The way the dancers look at each other is soooo sweet...and their movements are damn near erotic. BUT TASTEFUL. ::)
