Indeed; the 'ask to move in' option drops down in the friendly tab- however, if you are in a deep unromantic moment with another sim- despite it being in a different tab- the option to 'ask to move in' should appear in the friendly tab. Though, much as you mentioned Seana, options do not always pop up- as with you not being able to WooHoo. If you find you can not get the 'ask to move in', try queuing a bunch of friendly actions until it appears.

Seana, if you manually have both your gals 'relax' in bed, do you get the option to WooHoo?

How long should I try with one partner before deciding it's not going anywhere?  So far my sim has not had option to Confess Attraction or Ask to move in (on romance menu) for any sim, even ones she's been woohooing the socks off night after night.

It would be kinda nice to see her settle down with someone - any tips?

wat is the diffrence between macs and pcs? and wat about dells?

sorry i dont have the y chromosome.

I think we're waiting for some word of mouth here before we pull the trigger on buying it.

Disreptutable sources aside, there is a toggle called "story progression" in the full game that turns on/off Sims families ability to do major life changing stuff while you are not controlling them. It was put in there based on player feedback like yours that you wanted total control of multiple families.

All families are controllable so its global. There is a seperate toggle for aging as well , that turned out to be a popular request during testing.

If this stuff needs to be added to we will. After launch we will get a pulse on the communtiy requests.

I am not trying to sell you here but FWIW I would note that for a lot of Sims 2 beta players there were major concerns about family control settings >before< playing Sims 3 and very little >after< playing. It was like a mental shift occured where ownership of the whole town kind of kicked into people meta mental model where individual familes were there in Sims 2.

But anyways post launch you will doubtless see a lot of threads on community sites talking about thier experiences one way or another. My hunch is they will trend the way the beta testers did, but if not we will adjust.

Wonder why your leaked Sims 3 game that you've downloaded is low on content and has many bugs?  If you've guessed it's not the final version, you are correct!  According to the various comments in some of my previous posts, the leaked version is 1.0.615.00107.  Well, a crafty Sims fan found information of the first Sims 3 patch from EA (http://na.llnet.eadownloads.ea.com/u/f/sims/sims3/patches/sims3_sku7_update_manifest.xml) which reads that it'll take the game (1.0.631.00107) and update to version 1.0.632.00107.  A lot can change in 17 builds!

BUG!

Music isn't working in my game. Nothing is muted, but build/buy are silent. For a while, if I went from Live to Buy or Build, the TV in live mode would remain on complete with video and sound. Now it's back to doing its regular pause but all is quiet.

The radio doesn't produce any sound either.

Yes, I meant actually making new ones--meshes and patterns--not just recoloring.  And, my husband says I'm a she.  But that's ok, it's hard to tell.  Especially as I eschew avatars.  (it's a religious thing.)

Going slower right now, but that's because I'm raising three toddler boys at once. I'm hating that maternity leave is enforced, and on the mother only. Way to be sexist, EAxis. My workaholic has to stay home with the babies, while the father goes to work.

Hm, I haven't been able to figure out if I can only play the one selfmade sim, or if I can add another one to the town.  Kind of sucks if I can only have one selfmade sim/family per saved town/game.  Yeesh.

Yeah, noticed that long hair sticks through hoodies, too, as has happened in the past with Sims 1 and 2. 

Wasn't that the point of the whole "make your own thing" thing they tried to promote, or did they reverse that out and decide that the only new content you'll get will have to be bought through the store?

I know the whole 'create a style" tool is up and running, but that is just recolors. Are they seriously limiting new custom made meshes/objects?
Or am I not understanding this correctly?

For the story to go totally as planned, the Caliente sisters and Don Lothario would have to show up eventually. And Dina's ugly enough in TS2 already.
