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.

I just looked it up. Apparently, in the case of XYY, it's not a further upfuckation than increased chance of having a learning disability.

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.

There's links in the "Prima guide PDF"-thread.

I think the songs were written by people who work at EA. Most likely, there's not any artist to credit as such, but you could always check, well, the game credits.

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?  Tongue

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.

The Escapist Show about TS3. Bonus: a shout out to the pirates. Sort of.

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.
61  TS3/TSM: The Pudding / Facts & Strategery / Re: Choosing Sex of Babies on: 2009 May 30, 18:58:11
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.

Damn, ninja'd by snoozelwoozel.

EDIT: After seeing a picture of the TS3 maid, I really hope there'll be modding and default replacements. The TS2 maid was dressed in a not very practical manner, but this is just over the top. I imagine it would be quite uncomfortable bending down to pick up trash in that dress  Tongue

Did you update your stuff? It sounds a bit like you just installed AL and expected pre-AL hacks to work with it.
65  TS2: Burnination / Oops! You Broke It! / Re: -sigh- I broke it. on: 2009 May 07, 18:38:40
Oh, I get it now. I thought AFK meant something else...
The more you know and all that.

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.
68  TS2: Burnination / The Podium / Re: CC in use. What can be removed without exploding stuff? on: 2009 April 12, 22:42:53
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.
69  TS2: Burnination / The Podium / Re: CC in use. What can be removed without exploding stuff? on: 2009 April 12, 14:25:36
Oh. I have too many skintones and eyes for my own good. I'm happy they can be removed without causing too much of a problem. Thanks!
70  TS2: Burnination / The Podium / CC in use. What can be removed without exploding stuff? on: 2009 April 12, 11:57:25
I think I've heard that skins and eyes should not be removed from the game while in use by a sim. What can I remove without fearing BFBVFS?
Are clothing, hair, furniture, wallpaper and mods fair game?
71  TS2: Burnination / Planet K 20X6 / Re: More Awful than You! March - Larger than Life! on: 2009 April 04, 11:04:41
Bad/wtf-y mods? Dunno if people would risk putting anything in their games that could mess it all up.

He looks so focused in the first picture. "Karaoke, SRS BSNS!"

Be advised the back is a bit crude and therefore the picture is in the zip not on display

I think we can take it  Wink

Thanks for the t-shirts.

It looks wonderful. I am actually in the middle of starting a Victorian neighbourhood, so this is perfect. Is the Mansions & Gardens SP required?

I use the ´ and å keys, but that could just be my keyboard. Google says
