When I created my sim, there were three voices I could select from and then a pitch shifter which apparently did nothing.

Huh. Good to know.

About a month, but TS2's scriptcode was very similar to TS1's. TS2 also wasn't encrypted to prevent modification.

Oh hey, I just remembered:

Did the "choose the Sim's voice" feature make it to the release, or was that all L&P?

When I created my sim, there were three voices I could select from and then a pitch shifter which apparently did nothing.

Really? In some of the videos that got taken down from YouTube I saw them use the pitch shifter and it sounded like it made a difference to me ... They didn't spend too long on it though.

From what I've read in this thread (And yes, I read all 6 pages) this game doesn't sound like it's even worth the CD it's coded on. And that's with the obviously pros the game has. It's the cons...and the MASSIVE amount of them that have pretty much turned me off to TS3 like it was a fat, ugly chick that smelled like bacon and gym socks. I'll be saving my $50 for something I'll actually not regret buying after 2 hours.

I almost hate to ask this, but has anyone had any luck with an arr'd version for Mac?  I'm away from PC's until the release, sadly...If this is a beta version, leaked from a preview, I would understand it not being around.  If, however, this is the release version, leaked through the manufacturer or the like, shouldn't a Mac-capable copy be floating around somewhere?  I can't find it, but I suck with the arr'ing.

Like Splotch, if you have a reasonably new mac with an intel processor, you should be able to play. Early reporting suggests the crack works. I am about 4 hours away from being able to try it out myself, but I probably won't get to it until tomorrow evening.

From the pics & videos I've seen, this seems to have a TS1 look & feel to it (e.g. the thumbnails of the sims).

Oh look, a bug.

Finally figured out why I couldn't get romantic actions between the couple or a status past best friend, despite their being best friends for over a week and having woohooed. It looks like the relationship levels score separately. Far as I can tell without actually seeing the code (like I would understand it fully), filling the score for a level prompts a pass through to the next. I never got the pass through. After verifying that it worked in another household, I went back to the trouble couple and enabled testing cheats. I lowered the relationship. Tried increasing to best friend and doing romantic actions. No kissing available, no romantic interest relationship level. Then manually dragged the relationship bar to the apex. Lo, one flirt later they were romantic interests. All went smoothly from there.

personally, I like it when you're riding your bike and cars just run you over from behind and then *pop* there you are again at the back of the car, still pedaling away like the car was just a piece of scenery animation...oh wait!  It was.

Adding to the teach toddler to talk mention earlier, yeah, the script is pretty screwed up. Twice I've had both parent and toddler freeze completely, only remedied by deletion of subjects and reloading the family, of course losing all wishes in the progress. Only major glitch I've really spotted so far other than typical Sims gameplay quirks. Care is advised when teaching your spawn how to talk.

Alright, so I joined to express my opinion about this game. The people making it sound horrible are over exaggerating, IMO. I just got done playing for a few minutes and it was pretty fun, I'm actually trying to do all this as quick as possible so I can hop back on.

The graphics look good and the camera is nice, though I still haven't gotten used to the new UI on the bottom.

I went to the park and found some random guy sleeping on the ground, that was interesting. So anyways, I hit SHIFT+CTRL+C (I think is it) and it brought up the console. I tried the 'boolprop testingcheatsenabled true' and it told me that 'boolprop' was unknown so I tried just the latter... and it WORKED! Awesome, now, because I can wonder around town and check everything out without having to worry about completing things like eating, sleeping, etc.

Anyways, back to the game itself. Without giving anything away, really, the added options are pretty cool (especially the trait specific ones). Also I DO have to agree that there aren't too many appearance options like hair and clothing. I can see that probably being annoying if we can't mod the game.


Here's some photos showing the game. They're downscaled, the actual res is 1680x1050. Sorry if they're too big, I tried to find a spoiler or hide tag, but couldn't.

Just thought i'd mention this since NPCs now go through pregnancies properly.  It's now possible to impregnate half the women in the town and get an insane amount of kids from doing so.  I decided to give it a go to see just how many the guy can spawn.

Anyone else think this would make a nifty TS3 challenge?

Dude, the Sims does not have spoilers.  This is not the kind of game where you get to the end and find out that Snape killed Dumbledore.

I don't see any sim shadows.  I see shadows of the objects not the sims.  The sims do not throw shadows on the table they are sitting at nor do you see their head above the table in the shadow on the ground

Inge, two of the sims' shadows by the picnic table are behind the table/other sims.  You can see the other sim's shadow to the right of white-skirt-wearing woman's butt.

Ok I see them now.  That's a relief!  There's something not quite right still, but anyway it's better than nothing.

Cheers, those are the first images I've seen. I love the flowers and the surround detail, pity they've managed to lose sim detail in the pudgieness.

So, ttech, are you going to "spoil" us?  What kinds of social interactions does your absent-minded, insane, inappropriate, evil, grumpy sim have?

Nice to get a report from someone who has spent at least a couple of hours playing the game.  Thanks, that was great.

Oops, sorry Pescado, I forgot how much you hate thanks.  Still, your report in the first post of this thread suggests you spent more time in the game than the person I just quoted.

Now to decide who I trust more when it comes to The Sims games: the person who has kept my game playable for the past 4 or 5 years, or some random person making their first post.  Decisions, decisions.
