New survey on official BBS
simmiecal:
It the area where it asks how they could improve it, I wrote that they need people to actually play the game and not just test it in debug mode. Having a furious sim kick over a garbage can or a tired sim falling asleep in their food or having the whole family socialize while eating is fun the first one or two times it happens. If you actually play the game (and not just test that the animations are working correctly) you will see how annoying it is to pick up a trash can 5-6 times in a sim day, how frustrating it is to get a pregnant sim near hunger desperation to eat when she keeps falling asleep in her food, and how pointless it is to have a family meal when it takes 3-4 sim hours for them to finish while all their other needs keep dropping.
I also said that they really need to improve their commincations between the company and their customers. I personally wouldn't be as bothered by bugs if there was some honest communication (other than - "you must have a hack" or "reinstall") and more timely release of patches. As long as you feel that the company is LISTENING and responding, you are much more tolerant of bugs. Yes - it is a business, so there will be limited time in testing and not every conceivable configuration and playing style will be tested: that's why it's so important to listen to your customers. Yes, they must receive a ton of "bug" reports from people that don't know where their on/off button is on their computer, but when there are several respected modders out there that have addressed the problem, it is really ANNOYING for them to keep repeating "we haven't heard of that problem". Just looking at the mod code should give them an idea of where they should look in order to correct the problems.

It said it was full for me as well, Motoki. Anyone have a list of what it asked? I am curious (and disappointed that I can't fill it out). :-\
edited: because "fill" actually has two l's
Ancient Sim:
HEALTH & SICKNESS? They actually listened to me!!! I've been asking for this on every board I can for a while now. I've also asked them to include a middle-age life span with it. Oh, I do hope this comes out. As for the survey, I presume I've missed it, which is a pain in the proverbials because I wanted to report on the Uni bugs they haven't fixed.

I swear that damned thing was telling me it was full. >:( I'm going back to check again. Maybe it just doesn't like me.
*edit: It's still saying it's full for me. The BBS must not like me and the feeling is quite mutual. :P
Anyway, I think the next episode could be fun. There's a lot of ways they could go about it, like maybe growing fruits and vegetables to run a produce shop or flowers for a flower shop. I bet they'll be stuff they can do at home too. At least I hope so.
If it was not already suggested, try deleting your cookies in your internet browser it might let you fill the survey after that.
Motoki:
Just tried that now. Doesn't work. For you guys getting the survey do you have Firefox or Netscape? Because I am using IE.
