I like that you can sit on the edge of the bathtub. I had created a John Connor Sim out of boredom (Terminator was on at the time) and I put him in a house and didn't supply any new furniture, to keep it as desolate as I could, and when he made himself a sad little PB&J sandwich he went and sat on the edge of his tub and I thought it really fit with a sad image of someone who can't even afford a table.

The town will populate itself, but it doesn't appear to be an event that takes place rapidly.
If we fill the town with our own families, will this cease altogether? If so, how "full" do we need to make the town? Isn't the problem that the game makes a habit of deleting random families (both stock and created by you) as a part of the botched 'Story Progression'? Which means even if you fill the entire neighborhood, every single lot, with your own characters, some will disappear, making room for randoms created by the game. Right? |

It might be you need to wait a day or so first. But the toddler still have 70 days or something to aging up, when I used the cake. PErsonally, if I do have families, I'll do everything skill-wise before aging a toddler. And make the baby happy before aging to toddler too.
This is probably true, but it's kind of a moot point in my case, as 'testingcheatsenabled' allows me to just age up with shift+mailbox. |

TS3/TSM: The Pudding / Pudding Factory / No censor hack for TS3

I'm in Bin right now and I replaced "Shaders_Win32.precomp" with "Shaders_Win32.7z". I booted up, didn't work, undid it, works fine. Am I needing to change the file name or am I not even supposed to be replacing the former, only putting the latter in?
.7z is an archive, the .precomp file is in it. Get a 7zip extractor. Oh, duh.  I may need to be slapped. Edit: tried it again and it works for me. There's a small lag where it looked like he was getting into the shower WITH his clothes on, but then it caught up and he was naked. Yay for no censor! |

Neat tip - apparently, you can age a sim at -any- time. Just put down a cake and have them blow out the candles. I'm playing at epic, but I don't normally even like toddlers and babies - got the toddler all his toy skills maxed, taught him his toddler skills, and then I tried to age him - worked great. Now if only someone could explain the blond head on the kid [unfortunately, a game crash lost him and his progress. Wish I knew why it crashes so damn much. Can you? I though the same but immediately after aging up my baby to a toddler, I tried to do the same from toddler to kid, but when I chose the age up/have birthday option (whatever it's called) on the cake, the toddler wasn't included in the list. |

Couple things:
--Seems like the 'stay the night' romantic option is as retarded as it was in TS2--I could never get the guest to actually *sleep* and the same thing happened when my Sim had her boyfriend stay over. He just wandered around and kept throwing up the bed thought bubble because he was so tired.
--If, like me, you have ADD and try to alt-tab as soon as the game starts loading, it seems like sometimes it will hang at the final progress bar and never finish (fullscreen mode).
--Why did they make babies into some kind of larvae? I don't even like kids and I miss the babies from TS2, which were way cuter and more interesting. Larval babies in swaddling clothes suck. Wow, I read that first part as him throwing up on the bed and thought, "Wow, I kind of what to get in on that." |

Hmm, it's not cooperating for me. I open up the game, it crashes and says this: Unable to start game
Service initialization failed (0x024e424f) I clicked okay, then got: EXCEPTION RAISED
Unhandled exception 0x80000003 at address 0x00575bb6.
Do you wish to debug it ? I clicked no, for now, but should I debug? |

(snip)
- I'm playing with story progression enabled and free will on high (on purpose). I tend to only like one sim at a time, so TS3 actually fits my playing style very well. Mom and Dad have 3 kids, two are satanically ugly and one is less so. I kick out the two and continue to play the one I like. Later, I zoom out to the neighborhood and see that Ugly #1 has gotten married and had a kid, I switch to his house and to see what's up, while I provide a little god-like advice to his life. I like this and appreciate the variety and surpise; what I don't like is that I don't know what the hell happened between the time I kicked him out and the time I started playing him again. Did he have a different girlfriend? Does he have other children? I don't need a full memory of every single person he met and everyone he knows that got an A+, but I would like a short summary of major events tracked in his life.
The thing that scares me about this is that even though I'm like you and I'm okay with focusing just on one household, even switching over to another household (to check in on new developments) for just a few Sim hours, even less, could result in me returning to my main household to see that they've moved out, died, adopted 60 ugly babies, etc. I do not want this. |

I see now! And I completely agree, nannies were just a big annoyance for me. The maid in this version left for the day while a dirty plate sat next to the door. The babysitter has yet to do something to piss me off, but is it wrong that I'm disappointed they're all teenagers and therefore off-limits for flirting with the dad while the mom's at work? Ahem.  |

One of the tips on the loading screens mentions being careful about hired help, because some of them don't do their jobs properly. Maids as the new nannies is apparently a feature.
On that note, I like that grumpy Sims have the option to troll forums, and the robofish is pretty cool. Note to self: Have Jocasta fish for a bit after she harvests the Omniplant.
I'm not understanding how the Maid-as-Nanny feature works. I've just been calling a babysitter every time my Sim heads off and leaves her kid. If I were to leave the baby and the Maid alone, would the Maid play the part of Nanny? Is that how this works? |

What effect does the class have? Gain one skillpoint automatically? I imagine this is more useful when you are already high in the skill and skillpoints are harder to come by. The classes can't be taken when you're already up there in the skill level. I figured it'd be a faster way to learn it that way too, but nope. This makes sense! I was wondering why I suddenly couldn't go to City Hall to up my charisma level to become President/Leader of the Free World! Sarah Palin kept getting antsy standing in front of the mirror all the time... |

Oh, no, whoops, looks like I'm at 10.5.6. but still require an update to whatever it is at now (I think I'm just one behind). The pop-up seems to be more of just a "Hey there, maybe you could do this?" kind of suggestion instead of an actual requirement. Edit: I'm no expert on the whole port thing or whatnot, but it runs perfectly fine on my MBP, so I think you've hit the mark on it being a good thing. Means we can hopefully get ourselves some mods, while not sacrificing the quality of the mechanics of it, or whatever.  |

4. See the TS3.exe file in there? Yes, from now on the procedure is the same like in Windows. Rename it in TS3.exe.securom or whatever - you need to disable it. Don't delete the origianl exe, though: you could need it when you'll have to apply patches etc.
You won't be patching this particular executable, because it is not the release version. Build 1.0.631.00107 is the release that is coming next week. I didn't think that was officially confirmed yet. |
