We were talking UK spelling, it's STOREY, and when you have more than one storey it's storeys. Story is a tale, a book.

You people in America are just weird

Haha, not funny /sarcasm (try working that double negative)

Edited to add sarcasm.

I understand better now, storey being levels in a building. Duh. I think I deserve a nomination for that. In which case I have spelt storey that way.

Although now, I've looked at both words too much and they both look like they're spelt wrong.

Ta much!

Storeys? Eh? I've never spelt it like that in my life...

Were you born with the brown eyes though?

I guess I really am strange then.

Heh, well I guess I'm an anomoly on two counts.

Compleyely English - completely dark brown eyes, pale skin and naturally mousey brown hair.

Plus I was born with these big dark brown bug eyes of mine - which I am told is an anomoly.

Ah well, I'm talking crap then.

And you're right about "neighborhoods", I never noticed that before.

Nope, it's not that one. It really was a coffee table, but perhaps it was custom made. I'll have to see if I can hunt out the screenshot though it was some time ago.

Oh right, the juice bar - got it. Got confused the the "punch bowl" idea, I was thinking like in TS1

The only thing that springs to mind, witch, was this coffee table in a star shape (I'm guessing it was a 4x4 table) with a glass middle. I know there is a smaller one (1x1) which I suppose one could arange in a star, but I was led to believe this was a unique item and not custom made.

I just assumed there was more,  I remember things like TS1s Livin' Large/Livin' it Up the gazebo thing and the bridges etc weren't included in the UK version.

Call me stupid... what punchbowl? I don't recall there actually being one in the game, in fact I'm almost certain. Unless like some other things I've noticed, that was missed out of the UK version?

I like the sound of the rivalry thing, there's just not enough for enemies to do. In fact I've had enemies want to flirt with the person they're enemies with (throbacks to previous relationships me thinks, but still odd).

I'd say restart and see what happens.

DUDE! LIKE WHAT IS WITH THE ALL CAPS?! Shhh!

*pat pat* go snort some more caffeine. You'll feel better.

I have one science fanatic friend (she's going into phorensic science) adores the game. Just thought I'd throw that in there.

Nope.

They may just be some new form of light and not actual fire you know...

But who am I kidding, they look very cool.

That's what I first thought (mass spamming=mucho effort) Someone obviously had too much time on his hands...

Take it away from the book and it was just a piece of mediocre entertainment (though Stuart Townsend was hot), compare it to the book and it's absoulte crap.

In all fairness they had to squish rather a lot of information in to that short time (two 800page+ books) and had a lower budget than the make they did of Interview with the Vampire.

What I'm more concerned about is the musical of 'The Vampire Lestat' which Elton John and Bernie Taupin have written, and is to be released on Broadway... then there's Rice's latest - writing the biography of Jesus in first person...

I'm an art and IT student, going into interactive design.

Perhaps only people who were also members of VS got the PMs...? I wasn't online and I got one. What a jerk.

I'm with JM on this one. It'll blow over. Until the final verdict or whatever is reached, what's the point of kicking up a fuss? I see no point.

Well ZZ we are talking simland here, not the real world - a masterpiece can be anything, and as the game isn't focussed around art selling, they aren't going to put much more thought into it than that. I would expect sims in the art career track to rack up more with painting sales (not that they do, but it would be an assumption one would make) simply because that is part of their job. Sims who paint as a hobby are hardly going to create something Mona-Lisa-esque and thus a $500 masterpiece is a feasible occurance.

I can't tell you how happy I'd be if I sold a piece of mine for £500 but it aint going to happen - I would consider that an acheivement as would many artists I know.
