People with laptop touch pads should really check the documentation that came with their computer. The pad may very well have a gesture associated with scrolling.

Why not use keyboard substitutes z and x like TS2 does? Otherwise, yeah. Mice are cheap. Are they even made without scroll wheels anymore? Even laptops have scroll wheel functions on the touchpad.

Since I didn't have the option to give my sims a double-Y chromosome, I have to assume it's something I can't see. Is this just a freak of sadorandomness?
Just for the record, no one has few people have double Y chromosomes. Typically, males have XY and females XX. Edited for MOAR correctness.

Nah he didn't mean it like that. EA stuff has NEVER been posted in the Booty. He's saying that he's surprised that no one cares or is worried about reprisals from EA HERE, when there have been all kinds of (albeit hollow) threats about the "booty" from EA (over other paysite's shit) from time to time.
IIRC, EA sent Pescado a letter last year in which they threatened with a lawsuit, forgetting that if the files aren't hosted at MATY, there's nothing to do about it. More info about the incident here.

Given the sorry state of game manuals these days, the Prima Guide serves as the manual for the game. I'm surprised more people aren't bitching about having to buy a manual separately, but then what percentage of the game buyers ever read their manuals?
I read the manual for games. It's a part of the anticipation. You buy the game at the store. You just can't wait to play it, so you take out the manual and look through it on the bus. Then, when you get home, you start the installation of the game, make a nice cup of tea and read the manual thoroughly while the game installs. Manuals probably got thinner because computers got faster, eh? Anyone remember the days when games came with nice thick manuals?
I think I enjoyed the brick that is the World Of Warcraft manual more than the game itself.

Tsarina, it is not a scientific experiment with a control group and all that..and it could simply be random.
This was exactly my point. Since it's not a scientific experiment, you can't say that avoiding apples won't work. Personally, I'm not too keen on the idea of ANY kind of food influencing the baby's sex. Urgh. I like random.

Gender in TS3 appears to be somewhat more controllable than in TS2: There's a cheesecake effect at work. Eating foods containing "watermelon" increases the chance of females, eating foods containing "apple" increases males.
By how much? Would the effect of eating a watermelon be cancelled by eating an apple? As far as I know, my sim did not eat apples or watermelon with the first 5 pregnancies so therefore, it appears that the sim will have boys UNLESS they eat watermelon. So avoiding apples doesn't do it.
This could be sadorandom. If you eat neither apples nor watermelon, you'd have a 50/50 chance. It is possible that the same gender was rolled 5 times in a row. In order to verify that claim, you'd have to make your sim go through a lot more pregnancies. Btw, this whole balls/apples/eggs thing reminds me of a Russian saying that goes: "For a bad dancer, even his own eggs get in the way." I can't help but lol when I hear it.

It's a Mac-keyboard(the one on the left). There's one at my local library. While nice, it's not as nice as a chunky, old-school keyboard. I just noticed this: The compact design takes up a fraction of the desk space — up to 24% less — of larger keyboards and gives you more room to mouse comfortably next to the keyboard. Is mouse a verb?

Does this also prohibit building a second story above the gap? (You'd have to build in underneath temporarily in order to place the walls all the way across, but it could be done.)
No, you can join them together on the second/third/whatever floor, just not at the ground level.
Hmm. I may actually try to participate this month.

Thank you. I knew I'd seen a similar thread somewhere. Apparently, I suck at using the search function. If you remove a sim's skin, they turn into S2s and their internal data goes FUBAR'ed. Removing their hair just makes them bald, unless your sims have messed up hair DNA from unbinned hairs, very bad. Unbinned eyes, also evil. All these things are basically evil and removing them will mess up your sims internally.
This was what I was fearing and the main reason for my concern.
