Remember the screenshot at Snootysims, the couple that were expecting and the hospital in the background? Oh man, the family is growing in leaps and bounds! My sim is trying to befriend her cause she is his boss, but visiting her house sucks. Everytime I go, she got a new baby. The weird thing, she is at work everyday and never looks pregnant. I think they have 5 kids now, an infant, a toddler and one kid and 2 teens. WTF!
I am glad I am playing the torrent and not the purchased game, this will piss me off. In need of awesome fix definitely.

They way some things have to be done is driving me nuts. My sim had a want to take a bubble bath. So I send her to the tub, and there is no option for bubble bath..wtf? I had to send her shopping to buy bubble bath, then place the bottle on the tub in order for the option to appear. That's too many steps just to take a damn bath. I actually think that's kind of cool! I always wanted that sort of thing in the Sims 2. I'm an odd player, my sims have to go out to get stuff, no changing their hair at home, only at a salon. No getting groceries delivered, most people don't do that and so on. I like that too. Why have all the community shops if the sim doesn't visit them? I like during pregnancy, the negative moodlet for 'aching back' can mostly be relieve by going to the Spa. Spousal backrubs are okay and appreciated by nothing is more refreshing than going to the spa and getting the works. Helps when the sim comes home, someone compliment her on the appearance. Makes a happy pregnancy, thus happy baby.

Your question just remind me of something. My sim wanted to eat a certain food while at the park, I can't figure that one out either. I did make a group meal, but couldn't figure how to eat it at the park. I see the townies make picnic spots but not happening for my sim. Does anyone know how to put already-made food in an inventory? It just won't go. The little hand does not appear when I tried to drag it to my Sims individual inventory, and there was a red x when I tried to put it in the household one. I lost a friggin challenge because of this. :/
I Had the same challenge or something similar, i was able to "serve" dinner and then stick it in her inventory and i brought it over to someones house, but when I clicked on the pie chart "Deliver Food" was grayed out. In the challenge info is says make a "group meal" if making a group meal is entirely different then how do you make it!?...

~ I do love the career advancement system. I like the categories for advancement and the fact that they involve more than skill building. For example my journalist Sim needed to advance in charisma, and writing obviously, but also in freelance writings from interviews and articles. It's cool.
~ I also really like how you can chose how they spend their time at work and that they can - ahem - build their skills at work.
That is the best part to me too. I love how my secret agent sim have a beeper and get called to go to work in the middle of the night, after working in the hood questioning sims and going house to house going thru their garbage. Finally have a life of turmoil going in that family. Also his wife is very depress, just lost her one best friend in a boat accident, preggers and in the yellow. I love drama!

@ jriggs, in windows theres a process of making the game run on one processor instead of both. Tried finding the thread at INsim, but having a hard time. Once I ran the optimizer and changed the processor to one, Sims 2 ran perfect.
Got my game from Reloaded and followed the instructions, was up and running in a little bit. No crashes, problems installing, applying the no-cd crack. I have a slim form tower and only have Nvidia G-force 8600. I am upgrading to the 9800GT because it's the most powerful I can afford for my slim form factor CPU.

Couple of early impressions---
--Creepy doll eyes are creepy
That is what put me off about the game. They move side to side at rapid speed sometimes. Reminds me of an old movie with Jane Fonda named Barbarella. The dolls in that movie gave me nightmares for a month and I quit playing with my "Walking" dolls. I was six.

Has anyone been able to get the groceries and harvested food in the refrigerator? I can't figure it out and my sims have suffered with negative moodlets for spoiled food in the bum pack. I have clicked on the appliances and stove to cook foods that they have in inventory, cause I shop by recipe, but they still get the items from the fridge and not the inventory.
Just drag it from the inventory to the fridge. Sounds stupid, but it works. I did that, it ended up on the floor. Then I had to get my sim to pick it up, to put it back in inventory.

When she got to the 3rd level for gardening, she wanted to fertilize the plants. I clicked lessons in the option panel to see what I needed to do and she had cheese in inventory that I didn't want to go bad. I can't figure out how to get it in the fridge, no matter what I read.
I clicked on cheese and eggs and she went to the garden and used it. She is at level 5 now. So I don't know if that makes a difference.

Mean is not showing as a trait, but in talking to someone, you can chat in a mean way. I made my sims friendly, but they are in law enforcement, sometimes they have to get mean in questioning townies and neighbors. Being nice gets them no intel, and their job performance suffers. If I had known that was a part of the job, nice would not be a trait. Will change it when I get the points for the change traits reward.
My poor sim now wants to befriend the ones he made snitch on others...
I don't remember that trait, but I like evil more than mean. I will try that out when my sims age up, birthday coming soon.

Wow, getting rid of the censor would be great. I hate the boxy, floaty thing.
I am lightening up on the game, cause I am enjoying the moodlets, the good and bad. I like when they play chess and do not win the game, or don't get it, they get upset and push the pieces off the table. I like how the room's a mess just screws up their faces in the UI thumbnails. I like their wants of cleaning and will do it on their own if they are neat. I have noticed the little things. I still want my CC, but I am getting use to the sims looks.
I like the rabbit holes cause I don't have to interact with the NPC's inside, there's enough interaction all through the town. The jobs requirements are fun, finally having to do some realistic things other than reading for skills and have friends. Friendships mean something too and can be beneficial.
Still not buying it. I am protesting the closed sources and encyption.

Last, my male sim is a neat-freak and being in law enforcement, he has to rummage in neighbor garbages to get intel. He didn't like it, and got a negative moodlet that was suppose to go away in 10 mins. It had been 4 days with the same time, so I guess that's another bug. That happened to my sim as well. Took me most of a sim day to discover that my sim had collected "evidence" from the trashcans, in the form of trash, and had stuffed it in his inventory. Thus he was always near the trash so the counter on the moodlet got reset every minute. The sollution is simple. Clean out te trash in the inventory and wait 10 minutes. Voila! Okay, will check that out when I play again. Kinda sick of it.

I am noticing a problem with an owned car. The family I am playing own a multi-share car and the parents each own a bike. When it's time to go to work, the carpool still comes and the adults will not use their owned transportation, they go to the carpool. The only time they will use the owned transportation is when the carpool has left or I have to click on the car to go to work. Then they come home in the carpool, with their car magically appearing in the driveway. Why would they make the babysitter called everyday instead of being on a schedule? I forgot to call and the parents went to work anyway. Had to call the father back home to call a babysitter and then go back to work. Hope that this will be fixed before release, or all my munchkins will be in child services care.

I have a question. How do you get a couple to leave the house together? My sim about to go to the hospital to have the baby, but I don't know how to get the husband to go with her. I would like for both of them to leave together to go shopping, eat out, or to the park. They don't have the funds for a car yet, is that the only way to get them out together?
Going to the hospital with the mother happens automatically unless you cancel it. As for shopping, I am not sure though I recall seeing "go with ..." on some of the buildings. Thanks, saw that after I let it play... wish they went together. Now to figure out how to get them to ride bikes to the park together... I have noticed books disappearing after learning a new recipe. I figured that it should go in the bookcase for others to learn. What is up with costing 1000 simoleons for a book learning that cake, I forgot the name. Too high.
