I've about had it with Build mode. I moved my heir (hello enforced Legacy play) to that horrible lot with all the trash in the front yard and the broken fence bits, because I figured that with nearly $300k, I could make a great remodel. Everything went perfectly until I tried to place windows and doors.
Placing windows on the first floor in TS3 feels like placing windows on the 12th floor in TS2. The camera jerks and it takes forever to get it to snap in place. Then, if you happen to cross the path of a placed window with another window or a door, the wall fills in the glass and you have to snap the damned thing again.
This:
Has taken me a good hour and a half, and it's just a facade.

Anyone know if it's possible to export sims/clothing/houses from the Reloaded version and import them into the official version? I like the ones I made and I don't want to have to try to recreate them. Has anyone tried it?
You should be able to. I did it from Reloaded version to Razor version. I just snagged my Sims files from My Documents. Uninstalled, reinstalled, ran game to regenerate files and then just dropped them back in place. Anyway, all of the Lots and Sims have a Share button if you are concerned with mixing files. I haven't bothered exploring the clothes options.

Does anyone know if the in-game Music for TS3 is in .package files that can be extracted to get the individual music files for them as how it was in TS2? I can't seem to find any .package files that could have those, and the only music files that I've found so far are those select tracks in the Custom Music folder.

Looks like the RLD --> RZR upgrade is just two folders of game files (Game and GameData). Is it just a matter of swapping those out (after backing up the working ones elewhere)?

So I got fed up and sold the high chair. The kid vanished with it. I have been unable to recover him, despite him still showing in the family picture and the relationships being intact.
Resetsim is not the solution for a deleted Sim, it is the alternative to deleting a Sim. If a Sim gets stuck in an action or refuses to respond, you use resetSim to essentially recreate the Sim near his home.

That's brilliant. "Viewing" decorative items placed on fireplaces result in complaining that the FIREPLACE is in the way. That's gotta be the finest example of programming I will ever see.

Well, I found a new bug - if a babysitter is holding a baby when the adult comes home, then after collecting the $75, the babysitter jumps and disappears, leaving the baby on the floor. At least the baby doesn't disappear with them.
Also, resetting NPCs causes them to disappear. I had some stuck babysitters that I lost this way, though thankfully my sim wasn't at work and was able to come home.

Resetsim puts the Sim back at their home lot, so I guess NPCs get zapped back to whatever invisilot it is they inhabit.

I've gotten that several times, and in the old house the baby would always end up outside. So weird.

I can deal with the Camera for now, after all they are just ini files. Someone who knows what they are looking at will modify them. Aikea_Guinea already modified the Free Camera one for picture taking. It removes that drift you get. She's apparently going to look into the normal game play camera as well. The way it moves makes her sick ...same for me really.

I just played with a magnet toy and I realized: this is exactly how build mode fills. Everything sticks to each other so fast, and you have to apply some force to unstick it and make it stick the right way. Aghh!

When your sim visits someone else's house, can they not use everything in the house like they're at home? Example: I sent my pregnant sim across the street to meet the neighbors, and she had to pee real bad while she was there. She chatted with a couple of them for a minute, then went to use their bathroom. Instead of using the toilet, she proceeded to pee all over herself while standing in front of the toilet. Multiple times. She continuously peed herself for a good five RL minutes before I finally managed to get her to run back to her own house, leaving the neighbor's bathroom flooded with piss.
I would have been annoyed, but I rather enjoyed watching her distress.
I'm thinking maybe it's because she didn't know the neighbors well enough? I mean, I wasn't trying to have her eat out of their fridge, she just had to pee.

Oh, thank goodness. It's just on the line of my nausea factor. I can tell that a little more jerk would do me in. Will definitely try this one for the time being.
I love that house; it was supposed to be a country cabin to match the surroundings, but somehow veered off into Spanish Revival. But after all that time spent building a house that really had no complicated features, I could barely get myself to do anything more than cut the rooms. Almost all the houses in the game are one or two bedroom models, some with gargantuan waste-o-space living rooms. They're better than TS2, but still not what I need. I need to start building my own.

I have been enjoying the game for the most part, but I do think there is a large margin for improvement. There are so many little things that seem left out of Sims 3. I'm not nitpicking, but I like little realistic touches here and there. For example, the "brush teeth" interaction looks much more realistic in Sims 2. It just looks like they gave up on it in Sims 3. There is that weird looking mouth foam one minute and the next it's just gone. Again, not a big thing, but I miss the detail.
My only major issue so far is with the wedding parties. I had no problems setting one up, and I really love that parties can be held on community lots. My problem is there are no wedding items that I have been able to locate. Where is the cake and champagne for toasting? I love the interaction with the Sims cutting the cake and feeding each other. I can't believe no one thought that wedding items were worth including. If they are going to include them in an expansion, I can't help but feel gipped since they were available in the Sims 2 base game.

I did save as so I could go back to some point, but I'd rather not go that far back. I just want to interject the kid back into the family. Sigh.

Try this: Go into Edit Town mode and see if the kid is still a part of the household. If he is, grab someone random from the sim bin and move them in and then out again. This should reset the household and the kid should be standing by the mail box, with all opportunities/wishes gone and an empty inventory. It's a pain in ass but it's the only way I've found to retrieve missing sims.

If you want to believe the Prima Guide, yes, you are correct. According to the guide, you have to build up the relationship in order to use the bathroom at another Sim's home. I have not tested this myself.
