Is anyone else finding the game characterized by constant violence?
Mostly. I have no idea how you could possibly do tribal stage nonviolently, as rival tribes are out to get you from moment one, and I haven't seen any way to turn a prehostile tribe to a neutral stance. I fail at this level. I really, really fail, and kept getting my entire tribe wiped out. Tips would be appreciated. Oh, that's easy. You give them gifts. In social mode, right-click on their food... area... blanket thing... and a group of your guys with flowers and such will bring a wrapped gift basket. Do this as fast as you can. Really. If they attack your tribe beforehand and get truly pissed off, they might well attack anyway. Then you can do the music thing. This is randomly harder for some creatures, mainly carnivores. I had a group of carnivores attack to the point where I (and some of my allies who happened to be wandering by while gathering) had to wipe them out, wait for their chief to respawn, and THEN bring them a gift. But that does actually work. You can also domesticate animals, who will lay eggs that you can harvest. ...I domesticated a Darwin. Lulz ensued. Always leave at least one person at home, though. Bastard wild animals keep trying to steal food. Also, someone has to be there to accept any gifts that allies might bring. While we're at the tips, bring as many musicians as you can, divided up evenly between every instrument you have access to. Larger tribes seem harder to impress, and having more people playing music helps.

Really? I finished this morning, just shy of three hours ago.
So far so good, though I didn't have much time to play before I had to get to work. I'm at early creature stage. I got the Pacifist label after the cellular stage as I didn't attack anything. This is mostly because I didn't know how to. My doo-hickey had a solid "Run Awaaaay!" Movies are absolute cuteness.
That's... terribly cute. My torrent -should- finish sometime this evening. I checked before I left for work and it was still going on strong, around 100KB transfer rate. I... well, I ordered it, but I'm terribly impatient, so I'm going to get in some offline play before it gets here next Tuesday. (Who releases a game on Sunday? That's one more day that people who ordered it online can't have it. Jerks.)

I plan to populate a cemetery with any townies who show up in that face/body paint.
I plan to make them into pet zombies, dress them properly, and use them as butlers/maids/bodyguards/nannies/etc. You KNOW their ghosts will probably show up in that...

Wow. So, who's brave enough to index all the current fixes and what's contained or not contained in the Mega-Archive? I'm quite lost. *boggles*

Baa here. EA's fail fixed once again. They've been failing hard lately, too.
(On that note: Has anyone arred the IKEA preorder thingummies yet? With SFV down, I'm not sure where to check for them. Googling it's a nightmare.)

Usually I really like warlokk's stuff. I have quite a lot of it in my game, but this one just horrorfies me! Look at the tiny feet! The gigant breasts! looks like baloons!/ baboons
I once heard a very good rule for drawing women. "If her breasts or buttcheeks resemble any type of fruit, you are doing it wrong." This was dubbed the Sexy Fruits rule. That woman appears to be smuggling some of those rounder watermelons in her shirt and pants. FAIL!

Incest also tends to do some screwing up in the head. (Or at least be a sign of some screwing up in the head that's already there.) But that's on more of a psychological level, and we know Sims are screwed in the head anyway.

I find the one on the left particularly horrifying. I am convinced it is a pre-op transvestite with a love of plastic surgery.
I know someone who looks just like that. Two someones, really, but they're sisters. ...their mother smoked considerably when she was pregnant with them. They were born... um, special. So call it a Special Ed model.
