Sometime ago, I read there will be on-line verification when any downloads are added to the game. Haven't heard anything about this being dropped. My thought is about sharing what is bought on the store will be difficult if we have the EADM and the launcher installed. We definitely need a no-cd crack and not installing the EADM to bypass this, I guess. Will not know til the official copy comes out.
Yeah we will defo need to have a look at this kind of thing.. Cause.. yes im buying my copy.. and yes ill be using my 17$US to spend at the store no doubt... but if stuff on there is going to be upwards of 20$US each month, im not going to be happy, thats one reason I'm not a fan of WoW, or anything else that you have to pay for the game... and then more money for gametime, and whatnot. I'm not a fan of Eve (or whatever it is) but I like the way they are doing it... Free Download, and then monthly fee type thing. Like Magazines. Ok I stop now.

My Sim had triplet girls. No fertility treatments. Just bada-bing, bada-boom, triplets.
My initial reaction was to want to shoot myself.
My second reaction was to want to take a hammer and pummel about the head and shoulders each 12 who ever screamed for a triplets hack.
I'm adjusting to the notion that it will be challenging and (ever hopeful) fun. I used to enjoy the surprise of the occasional natural twins in TS2, but so far out of 5 pregnancies with 3 couples there's been a set of twins and a set of triplets. Multiple births cease to be fun for me when it's not a novelty.
I also do wish they'd alert you that you have twins or triplets, and the genders, before the naming starts. I like to do dorky things like coordinating names.
I wondered how they'd get the three girls home from the hospital, especially since they were riding bikes. (Yes, my pregnant Sim jumped on her bike and peddled to the hospital. What a trooper!). She brought them home in a basket the size of a picnic basket (but it was white), then unloaded them one at a time.
In other news, I think maybe Sims do carry the physical traits of the parent they do not favor. One of my Sim's sisters had a baby boy awhile back. He got his grandmother's red hair, even though mom had her dad's brown hair and dad had black hair. Of course, I'm not playing this family, so it could just be random. I'm hoping not, though.

Thanks. I think its most useful purpose it to highlight the HORRIBLE un-modded camera/navigation controls and the un-modded VERY SLOW reaction time when you tell Sims what to do. I edited a LOT of "frozen in space" Sim action out, which was a pain, as I didn't want any unexpected jump cuts. The original "kitchen scene" footage was at least five times longer, with lots of "talk...LONG FUCKING PAUSE...talk...LONG FUCKING PAUSE..." nonsense. Sims all move like turtles by default. You can see a typical cam/nav problem and a typical delayed reaction at the end of the video, where I tell the Hansen Sim to talk "meanly" to the Pedro Neckbeard character, and it takes SOOOOOO LOOOONG that I included it as a (weak) joke:
http://zoopy.com/q/xdh
(On the other hand, leaving "headline" artifacts in was just laziness, and limited free time to throw the project together. The thought and speech bubbles can be left out. I'd hoped for some amusing game-generated icons in those bubbles to add to the theme of the video and was sorely disappointed not to really get anything useful.)

The whole genetics is a pile of steaming poo. My CAS made sims (so no parents, OK?) a blonde and a redhead had one child with fathers red hair (including highlights etc.) and then went and popped out a brown haired boy. WTF?
Edit: It was live witnessed birth. I played only this family and never once switched away. The only difference: second child was born after I loaded the saved game (the ONLY saved game) after a normal shutdown.

I had this same thought, and thought we might need Pes' Batmanbox (forget that name) to fix this, but I had a kid and notice that it picked up the hair from the grandmother too.. and then later on down the track.. same parents had 2 more kids... and it was the color of the fathers, it could be possibly its working a bit better, I made mention of this earlier on, and Pes said something about it. So it might still need some work.

And yes... like this post... it might need some more work... hopefully EAxis patches this... instead of making Pes or some one else more awesome do it!

I require far more rigorous test data than what you have here. Anything produced while you are not playing the sim is an invalid test result and means nothing. I need ONLY results produced by live, WITNESSED births, not auto-handout babies from nowhere.

So has anyone else tested out to replace / add Music to the Game?
(Not Radio Stations, I mean Building, Buy, CAS Music etc.)
I can't find any Folders for that, there's only " Custom Music " and that is for the one custom Radio Station.
BTW, that's what is also freakin Stupid, in TS2 you could make your own Radio Stations.
I know it has been added via an Addon, but comeon they could have atleast let that in TS3!

No. I have rigorous experimental procedures that are to be followed without deviation. Thread on this posted seperately in this section. Since I don't have time to deal with random bullshit, I'm going to nuke and ban anyone who tries it. People will perform the test exactly as-is or they will stay out of my experiment. This is SCIENCE.

VERY SLOW reaction time when you tell Sims what to do. I edited a LOT of "frozen in space" Sim action out, which was a pain, as I didn't want any unexpected jump cuts.
I have found that the first time you get sims to do anything, like use the terlet, shower, exercise machines, etc., they tend to "dead space" for about half a minute (YMMV). After that, they do things normally with only a brief pause to change clothes (where required). It's like installing the game only installs the basic bits, and other specific sequences are loaded as you do them on a piecemeal basis. I had this thing where a sim stood and stared at a chess table for a whole sim hour before sitting down to play. I was so annoyed that I killed him. Subsequent sims have had no problem sitting down to play. (Mind you, they now know the alternative.
)

On my rig, slowness appears to be a product of the video card and screen resolution. If I reduce screen resolution, movement and control response is faster. Of course, if you reduce screen resolution too much you end up with a "stretched steaming pile of faeces"

I believe it's a motivation thing. Which is why participating and failing to do so will be punished by nuking and banning, to encourage that it be done properly. I mean, of course you can't expect people to behave properly. In my experience, people never do unless you MOTIVATE them with threats of dire and immediate punishment.

could you elaborate on that? is there a way to actually make a homeless sim, or did you move them into an empty lot and have them sleep on the park bench Cheesy
Empty lot. But she spends most of her time in the park with her guitar trying to earn enough money to eat.
I'm actually thinking of starting a new story. I was gonna work on it today during breaks, but I forgot to give myself access to the folder where the snapshots are stored. D'oh.
Oh well, at least I can write down plot ideas for later.

I do too. I wish there was a way to rename people for this reason. (and, of course if they have idiotic names like cylon sword)
Why can't you see the Custom Music folder in the settings control panel? I hope they "fixed" this in the "final" release.

Does anyone here know how to obtain a Limo as your own Car?
To put it on your lot etc.
Because in the intro there is a pink Limo, and the Limo's my Sims get ( because of high rank in Job ) can't be modified.
In other news, I had a evil Sim running around, kicking Garbage Cans and pissing off other people. This resulted in other evil Sims leaving their house in the middle of the night and cheering for my evil Sim.
Gotta love comradeship.

There does not seem to be any inherent compatibility system, though, so if you decide a Sim is The One for your Sim, all you have to do is start climbing.
I dunno, I found it a little bit harder to get Holly Alto (a "good" sim) to agree to have my evil sim's bastard child. Maybe she was just disturbed about the fact that we had to kick her Dad out of his bed before we could use it.

My sim had no problems convincing her Child-hating boss to impregnate her. Then he formed a friendship witih said child... Traits so far seem to be no more than glorified 'perks' to make each playable sim different from the next.

I did definitely see a crossed out 'evil' thought bubble above Holly's head when he started hitting on her. Queue up enough romance actions, though, and you can overcome anything (having the charisma trait, the attractive reward, and 10 in charisma probably helped). The only sims I couldn't impregnate were the maids, who had the "this sim has too many sims in her household to become pregnant" excuse. The maids didn't appear to be townies, though. I guess they commuted from somewhere where everyone has 10 roommates.
