I would like to refer everyone of the original post. The following quote in particular:


I would have posted this earlier yet was afk, so I think all of you should be feeling bad about yourselves in the handling of the new can. It was meant to be handled via PM not sporks in thread, shame on you all.

I'm finding that money isn't much of an issue. You can use other houses for washing/food etc. You can even sleep in them, but you risk the chance of being woken. This means you don't bother with a house with walls, save money that way (also walls cause loads of pathing issues) so you should have a large pool of money to work from initially allowing you to get several good items to ensure they get high powered moodlets this makes premotion easier to obtain and earn money.

Also when you aren't busy in that respect go find collectables, some are stupidly valuable. Like butterflies worth well over $1000. Or if you have the space get the klepto trait and steal valuable items from all houses you visit. All in all, money is harder to come by but the basic needs are so limited for your sims you don't need any money.

YO NOOBS! This is MATY read the fucking manual, and stop posting completely pointless THANKS THIS IS GREAT! replies. You are not adding anything you are making it harder for others to get to the information they want.

@ Gelina
I don't think there is a way. But you don't need to buy any, if you don't have the correct food stuffs for a meal you just pay the cost of them when you make the meal instead of buying them in bulk then using at a later date. The cost is the same unless you have supermarket offers.

Xuriel in fact that would be a really good thing to happen, TSR is easier to infiltrate than EA studios. Meaning the codes could be given to the people who need them most.

Solowren that looks like a corrupt iso, re-extact the iso from the rar and retry.

No Inge they pee themselves, the counter to this is to install Steel Bladder bonus trait, they never need to use the toilet again.

Several comm lots you can't see inside, in fact I think it might be all of the speciality comm lots (where you work etc) You arrive, click the door a window pops up, you do whatever then click ok and leave. A large amount of the game is just about text boxes, the actual gameplay feels like its been reduced down to a text based game which so happens to have a graphical interface.

Oh and there is no debate on if this is a beta version, those who think it is are stupid.

Yes it's funny a couple of times, a bit like TS2 "What's this?" was ok a couple of times. But more than that it gets really annoying, especially in this case as you are occupying the toilet so are preventing sims from peeing before you can equip them with singularity kidneys. Most of the new behaviours are ok, but once you play for any length of time they get frustrating and you want to kill your sims... which is hard as they have insane amounts of immunity to most influences. They can climb out of pools with no ladder, it takes 3 days to starve to death etc.

@ fraggle:
Probably a bug.

Well the toilet as a chair, must just be the crappy chair coding which the FOJ has explained in more detail.

Netich that is not an extreme sim. Have you seen some of the mutants you can make in TS2? Fire up body shop and have a look for yourself!

Phoebe I think that is trait based, either inapropriate or insane. Maybe a combination of the two.

2 months is that all? If game puplishing is anything like book publishing I'm surprisied it's not much longer than that. In fact I take the evidence of 2 months as PROOF it's the real copy. Any shorter and I would be more wary of the file.

Printing 1 DVD doesn't take long, printing many thousands and installing them in cases, then distributing them? Now that takes time.

Snooty Sims is a pile of wank maybe? And your link fails you balls for brains, be more intelligent.

You seem to have to hover on top of the stereo to hear the music coming from it. Not that you're missing much, the selection is very short. They should have ripping the music from TS2 and actually give a proper selection of favourites for our sims. I recommend muting the music, getting a stereo for the happy mood, playing in windowed mode and listening to your own pirate cat music.

What SecruROM? You are obviously downloading from the wrong group if securom has infected your system, don't use the launcher the usual stuff. My copy is clean, when properly no-cd cracked. If your version has it, get a new crack or iso.

Well it appears your houses can be subject to random acts on move in. My house was on an indian burial ground, meaning 3 ghost sims where on the lot. You can interact with ghosts as normal sims it seems, but what annoys me is that they use the house appliances. The fire death ghost made dinner and burnt it. I forsee fire!

A lot of the animations are copy+pasted from TS2, I only saw a couple of new ones and they looked odd and jolty in comparision to the others. There also seems to be contact problems with objects and sims, so there are air gaps in interactions. This happened in TS2 as well though. The fights were short (a few sim mins), but it seems that if your sim does have 'performs well in a fight' traits it actually works and they win more, not awesomeware, but it's better than totally random.

In fact my general opinion is: like TS2 but not as good.

A happy moodlet? Heck does that mean we are going to spam buy things just before a sim goes to work in order to get them premoted? DNW!

That doesn't work with MMOs, it doesn't work with Steam, it's not going to work for TS3.

Well considering that family relations would probably end in VBT for your game you could just remove the no random love hacks and have your sims use a tent or finger print device. Both of which have ended up with siblings in my game falling in love informing me that I hadn't updated hacks for a while.

EAxis you fool. It is spyware, the reason they give is to make sure you have a legit copy, but it could be used for more malicious means. Even if not by EA but hackers making programs to piggyback on the traffic.

You loosened tight pants. I've suffered no Core 2 problems, the only program I've had to suffer such problems was Earth 2150. To which Forcecore works fine.

Works perfectly, only issue is that any witches already with the overlay may continue to have a face covering. Fix by giving and removing another face paint.

At least it doesn't have any really obvious loops or pauses like I've experienced with most the previous start up musics.

But anyone with any sense backs up their sims2 saves directory on EP installation and removal anyway. In fact it's a good idea to have a backup anyway for when a bug causes your game to go BFBVFS.

Roux there are 2 medicine cabinets. One with a mirror and one without, that caught me out initially.
