I thought it was a person's (or in this case, a Sim's) job to prioritize their life in order to fit in time for such nightlife. Careers don't normally work around you: You work your way around the career.

What a strange feature. I'll be sure to remember not to mark "downtown" when I start creating custom worlds again. Thanks, JMP.

The problem: Certain careers (Business, Journalism, Music, and more that I have not had the chance to check yet) are mirroring the hours hosted by the Film career. The cemetery career is also warped, but I do not have the precise hours' data on hand right now.
Games Installed: Base (duh), World Adventures, Ambitions, and Late Night.
Patched: Yes.
Specifically Patched:
Base: 1.22.9.011001
World Adventures: 2.14.4.010001
Ambitions: 4.7.4.010001
Late Night: 6.2.4.010001

Solutions Tried: Removed all mods (except AwesomeMod), cleared caches, started fresh games.

Example: Look at the Coffee Courier position in the Business career: The hours are supposed to be 8 AM to 2 PM. In Bridgeport they are 1 PM to 6 PM.
I took the business/restaurant combo building and placed it in Sunset Valley. The hours there were 8 AM to 2 PM, the same as the normal Sunset Valley business complex.
Back in a custom world, I found the hours to be 8 AM to 2 PM as well. It was then that I checked out a site that listed the Film career hours to be 1 PM to 6 PM.
So I went back to Bridgeport and deleted the film studio. No change, the hours in the business complex are still 1 PM to 6 PM.
I'm scheduled to install Generations later today, so I have no idea what the situation is going to be like.

Does anyone else have this problem?
Thank you for reading.

EAxis should have made chamber pots for the tombs in World Adventures.

I said "supposedly" for a reason.

Temporary fix, supposedly: http://www.simprograms.com/28988/problems-with-reflections-and-security-level-7-the-sims-medieval/

It certainly sounds like a system glitch from the way the official guide puts it, doesn't it?
Anyway, some bear-devouring would be absolutely splendid! Unfortunately, I just found out that the Forest is a rabbithole. I believe you click on a signpost to explore it. See the new review here (around 9:02): http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_embedded&v=0F50xuorpn8
Naturally, there are just pop-ups to tell you what is happening. No good gory action or anything.

Of course being devoured by bears is a feature! A Medieval feature, not a TS3 feature, which is what saddens me.
When Catherine "Brownie Bites" Brown is the one writes the guides, I distrust and suspect every bloody detail. She is too vague and cheerful for her own good. In my book, "…just sorta…disappears" is as reliable and meaningful as something you would find in the complaint posts on the official TS3 forums. I need details, dammit.

Besides bemoaning the fact that TS3 children cannot be devoured by bears, I am currently looking at the guide (Page 54), and I cannot help but think that this sounds much more like a glitch than intentional gameplay:
"You may only have two children at a time. However, if a marriage produces more than two children, the "oldest" of the children will just sorta…disappear."

Medieval is just the start of another money-milking trend. If it sells well, they will make them.

EAxis will remedy that with their planned expansion packs—if they do not bork their own system first. I still cannot get over that patch list. Is the discrepancy due mostly to the lack of aging?

Concurrence with Invisigoth aside, I feel deeply sorry for the cat in your avatar. You are not its caretaker, I hope.

Sounds good. Thank you for clarifying, Pescado.

Maybe they'll pop it into another expan$ion pack.

But didn't they steal pretty much all of the animations from TS2? Why did they have to leave that out?

Let me make sure I have this straight…
So there is no EAxis-induced automatic sensing feature that pops on whenever you visit the internet? When the game is off the reporting is also off? Completely?

I just want to check something…
If the game is not being played, but the firewall is off …it does not phone home, is that correct? Also, some time ago I switched most of the EAxis reports/web-page-creating-thingamajigs—to open with Notepad. Now, does that actually stop the reporting, or the webpage-creating process?
Note: I know that the reports still update, but I want to know if they still get shipped off somehow.

That's the first thing I thought when I read your post!

Given my current expectations, I suppose they didn't think to update it in the patch…

I concur.
If there was ever a time when I truly longed to fall through my computer screen, it had to be when I was playing Makin' Magic.
WA had such potential. But what does EA create? Three huge, redundant, memory-sucking neighborhoods that have no cultural appeal or lasting satisfaction. Yet a little town in Makin' Magic practically oozed sensation and character.
Quality, where are you now?

I think that they only used two or three from Makin' Magic, though.  They did include three new tracks...which I confess to finding not as additive or moving.

That's what is wrong with TS3: Lack of Effort.

Nearly everything in TS3 is cheerful to the point of causing nausea, cowardly, insulting, tedious—except for the jogging—starting (with the aid of World Adventures) in Al Simhara at the mountain landing just above the Temple of Queen Hatshepsut, all the way down to the gorgeous water past the Ruins of Karnak…just delete the Fatigue Moodlet until your Sims become more accomplished and you're all set.
Yep. That's about the only thing that TS3 and WA are good for…jogging in a desert. Hmm…

Although I was rather disgusted with TS2's glitches a while back; I am a much more tolerant person now, so yes, I still play it.
I am also still playing TS1, which I have never been able to uninstall. There's just something about it. Probably the music that came with Makin' Magic, along with the mist-filled village and the glorious, moon-swept fields…and the strange noises that can be heard at night…the butter churn…the autumn foliage… I better quit there.

Well, I suppose that all you can really do is to put your firewall in lockdown-mode and hope for the best.

I remember seeing a screenshot from a fan-event pre-Base Game release. I saved it—I think. I'll take a look.

Edit:  It's a shot of the bench that sits against the wall of the grocery store. Behind the wall is a poster advertising Ford. Beyond the Ford logo and the image of a truck, the only other things I can make out are the words "Drive One", a website address, and the word "FLEX". Make of that what you will.

And Menaceman is quite right. The billboards and the theater are excellent victims for the evil ads.
So is the stadium…which is not a happy thought, as those ads would be humongous.

The Sims2 Pets was utter crap. At least with The Sims Unleashed we got a host of other things besides the path-blocking, game-play-slowing pixels that TS2 Pets spouted.
What did we get in Unleashed? An expanded Neighborhood (a really big deal back then, trust me); the ability to plant (admittedly, we had annoying garden pests in the shape of gophers and bunnies, but hell, at least the dogs and cats could be trained to kill them); there were new careers, and probably quite a few other things that I cannot recall right now.

TS1 had it together. TS2 had it together to a point. TS3's open neighborhood and the style-chooser-thingy earn it points in my book, but altogether it's nothing that we haven't seen before.
I really feel that Pets are the last thing that TS3 needs right now.

Yes, if you scroll down to the bottom of the page you can see it.
