The guests arrive in the normal TS3 manner, notably by jogging, or materializing mysteriously out of cars, which then mysteriously dematerialize. The guests entertain themselves by running up and down in an aimless, but silly manner. Here we see Spookymuffin (white dress), Tigerlilley (black dress, running toward camera), Kiki (running away from camera), and one of the Langerak (sp.) boys (rich, badly dressed playboy type, I fancy). As you can see, they have no real idea about where or why they are running, dressed in formalwear. That's me in the white running at the camera, I recognize my face and formalwear I dunno why I'd be running in heels though

Not always just asigned. I had a teen age up to YA and he got the option to pick his LTW from a selection just like you do in CAS once you've set your traits.
I got a LTW come up as a want for a child at random, and had the option that if I "promised" the wish it would become the LTW so I've had children in my game with an already established LTW before aging up any further, through natural gameplay.

Potty training is definitely harder in TS3 because toddlers' bladders also seem to decay MUCH faster. I had a toddler with about 1/3 of a bladder bar, I clicked the toddler and went to potty train them, they'd soiled themselves before I'd had a chance to have my sim pick the toddler up.

I love the names of the books that come up My sim wrote a Masterpiece last night (after having written nothing but non-fiction novels) she got $7406 for called "101 Reasons Why Frosting Is a Food Group". I almost wish that was a real book, I'd LOVE to read that.

I can confirm that ALL upgrades to the PC ("sturdiness" or "improved graphics") are possible from Handiness level 0 if you are a Computer Whiz and choose the "overclock" option, you just don't get a choice in what upgrade it is that you get - you either fail to improve it, make it unbreakable or improve the graphics.

From what I have seen, kids that are taken get put into other households. I had twins taken by the social worker and found one living with a neighbor just down the street, I found the other one living in a house near the beach.
Does this happen with Story Progression off as well? Not sure. I had it "off" but that was before I had the awesomemod, so it was technically still "on". I'll try again tonight, now that we can really turn it off. edit: OK just tried it with story progression off. I made 2 toddlers and had them taken away, I was not able to find them. I had another family adopt and they got a new toddler. I tried with kids next and had them taken away. I called one of them and invited him over then followed him home, he apparently lives in an empty lot, the other kid lives on another empty lot. I guess the toddlers live on an empty lot too. They don't seem to age, I have had it on speed 3 and fast aging and none of the kids that have been taken have grown older yet. They are all still in the relationships panel. I watched the school for a bit and did not see either kid go to school. If you weren't talking about the Sims, all this stalking of children to schools and following them home could really be taken out of context horribly LOL.

Seriously children, meshing is hard to get right. There are plenty of things that can go wrong with it and cause exploded meshes, borked files and the whole nine yards.
I hate TSR as much as the next pirate and think their management could quite cheerfully DIAF for all I care, but I'm all for things that will provide me the means to attempt to mesh for TS3 the way I was able to in TS2. I was predominantly a clothing mesher for TS2 so admittedly I am watching Wes_H's progress like a hawk with anticipation to see if TS3 will be in the "too hard basket" for me as far as the effort of meshing will go (seeing as though I ended up meshing and creating more than I played and I started resenting it), but like mootilda said it shouldn't matter who makes the tools if it benefits everyone.
With that said, I don't make a habit of sticking my hands down a lion's throat so I'll wait until a few sacrificial lambs have downloaded said TSR tool first and come out of it unscathed before I make use of anything from their site.

Kiki, that forced a full on laugh from the gut... priceless.
Do I know you? Do I LIKE you? No? I'm one of the horrid evil Buttists that agree with Rohina. I think you're a self-important douche-nozzle with a chip on your shoulder the size of lake michigan when it comes to female university professors. Go back to your ice-cream and eat your feelings again, tubby. I also found it amusing to see an "I have no ego" comment from someone that lists their email as "bigego69".

I applaud your efforts. From this and prior posts you seem to be an educated and articulate human being and very likely an excellent teacher. Can you deny that some professors do use their positions as bully pulpits? As to the first sentence of the above quote, to some extent that is true, but there is a limit. I've experienced first hand a tenured professor using her position to further her own sociopolitical agenda. I found it incredibly disturbing to watch her attempt to manipulate her students while the younger ones never batted an eye. Again, I realize professors like her are the exception and not the rule, and though I may not have articulated this fact, I have a tremendous amount of respect for anyone who dedicates themselves to teaching. I knew this was a case of individual butthurt. I bet she was an evil feminist, too, right? @prof buttsecks: I once had a student write a paper about how, since people thought Shakespeare's sonnets were written to a male, it must have been his son, and so it was platonic, filial love. Oh God, don't even get me started on this kind of thing. I had someone in my tutorials first year of university that just freaked out completely and could NOT comprehend the idea of Mercrutio having a homoerotic man-crush on Romeo and actually stood up in the tute and shouted "NO! THEY WERE HOMIES! HE WAS INTO CHICKS!".

It really IS just as bad for gifted children though; I started school at 4 years old as a 6, and was already reading at a significantly advanced level compared to my peers. I was breezing through books in Kindergarten that 2nd and 3rd graders were struggling with - my mothership told the school this, but due to my age and the belief in wanting to keep the status quo my school fought my family for a good 6 months attempting to hold me back a grade.
I'm still thankful to my parents that they fought so hard to keep my place and refused to let my school hold me back for my age - I ended up graduating approximately 18 months younger than everyone else in my class, but was equal dux of my grade senior year despite it. I spent most of my school years attempting to not appear to be that much smarter than everyone else and blending in, because in the modern schooling system you do NOT want to draw attention to yourself if you're too far advanced of the system you're in.

I never played the legacy challenge really in TS2, simply because no one aged around my family and it was a PITA to beam people in and then age them up all the time to keep them progressing along with my family (for example, we had the same maid for 6 generations in my longest attempt...WTH?). Now that story progression means sims around you age along with you, I'm keen to try and do a legacy again.

HP's skins are crap. Asides from the lighting issues and messed-up muscle tone, in certain skin colours, there is a very noticable joint where the head is connected to the torso.
That's how ANY skin HP has ever made has been. I saw she'd made skins and it was a big ol' DNW from me given they tend to look orange and pixelated.

Am I the only one that feels that any teacher that needs to outsource their grading is DOING IT WRONG?
*edit: I am not talking out of my ass here. I have several years of being a TA and am working on my credential concurrently with my degree.
When I was high-school teaching I never had a problem with doing my own marking and getting my work done - did it take a large chunk of my social life that I wished it hadn't? Sure...but I still managed to do my OWN work and what was required of me without having to pass it off on others. The salary I was on was the only reason I left teaching for a higher paid job, I never had a problem with doing the work because I knew what I was in for...too many people think that teaching is what they see on TV, that it ends once you leave the classroom, which is why they get butthurt when they realise the work involved.
