I have 2GB of RAM (not amazing, but usually enough to run things decently, especially since I'm on XP) and speeds 2 and 3 do very little for me.

They work totally fine for me.  I have noticed that sometimes, depending on what they're doing, they slow down a tiny bit, but other than that they do work as they're supposed to.

THANKS THIS IS GREAT

I think I finally figured out why my game keeps crashing. I thought it was a video card issue at first, but I posted at a tech forum with all my computer specs and they said it was my psu. I have a 630 watt Linkworld LPG2-43 which I got at a computer shop down the street back in February. After upgrading from an x1900 to my Radeon HD 4850, my old 500 watt wouldn't power on my computer and none of the local stores (including the big chains) sold power supplies over 500 watts, so I got it there. They told me my current power supply is meant for AGP set-ups, not PCI-e because there's not enough 12v amps. So I ordered a new Corsair 650 watt from NewEgg.

I just came from S2C/MTS2 and they're going warn/ban happy over there. I just posted about what things I hope are fixed soon (based on what other people are saying since I can't even play the game) and I got a warning claiming I asked for help installing an illegal copy or helped someone else do so, which I didn't, so I have no idea what's going on. I'll just steer clear from there until the official release date.

Mine have worked properly only a handful of times since first starting the game.

It looks like some of us are getting bugs that others aren't getting, and some are getting the same bugs except in different ways.

Yikes.  It's always nice to receive a warning about something you didn't actually do.

Well I guess that's why they call them bugs hehe.

It's not really a good idea to talk illegal stuff on any forum really, other than here (or anywhere where the hosting company doesn't care).  It can affect their hosting agreements, their relationships with the EA bastards, etc.  You might not have been talking about playing it, but knowing a lot about the workings of the game does imply you obtained it illegally, doesn't it?

ETA: Cool, my sim started a fire on the stove and it burnt the counter next to it too!  Way more realistic.

I don't agree, because so many people are sharing info that it's not hard to find loads of stuff just by reading, and then pass on the info.

I think the lifetime want Gold Digger might be broken.  Unless you need a really high amount of wealth.  As soon as a married sim dies their relationship is changed to fiance might be broken entirely if they both die i don't know.

I tried getting my sim to see the dead sim normally and i even resurrected him as a playable ghost neither worked.  After resurrecting him as a playable ghost they were fiance's but they couldn't marry again.

Hey, guess what I just found?! A bug.

Kinda teensy but still...



He's supposed to be patting his fat tummy. Instead, his fat tummy is patting him. And not in a good way. His hands have disappeared inside himself.

It happened every time I toggled thin/fat.

Oh yeah, and did you all know that BELTS are recolourable? I thought that was pretty cool.

I just built a family of three and I had a lot of fun doing it.

It could be my computer, I've only got a gig of RAM and am running Vista, but it's not lagging or skipping or indicating in any other way that it's my PC speed causing the problem.  I just have most of the graphics settings on medium.  HALP
I'm having the same issue, and I have 4GB of RAM and my game is showing no other signs of lagging with all graphic settings on high.  Speeds 2 and 3 are exactly the same as speed 1 for me.

I also have Vista (4GB) and the game clock runs extremely slow for me at all speeds.

Hm, I haven't been able to figure out if I can only play the one selfmade sim, or if I can add another one to the town.  Kind of sucks if I can only have one selfmade sim/family per saved town/game.  Yeesh.

Yeah, noticed that long hair sticks through hoodies, too, as has happened in the past with Sims 1 and 2.

I've seen the same bug on female fat sims around town.

There's a ghost of one of the Landgraabs who comes to the Kennedy household almost every night. By car. Yeah...

I was starting to suspect that locking the have boy/girl want promised resulted in that sex of baby, as it fulfilled my first three sim pregnancies. Then, my current married couple both had the want for a girl promised, and they had twin boys instead.

If you read this thread you might find out~  Tongue j/k

I think what I read in here earlier is that you have to click on the "..." button and then click on "edit neighborhood", and then there is an option to switch families or something like that?

edit: Or, oh. Maybe that doesn't work for being able to create new families. It doesn't seem likely though.

I bit the bullet and I've played for a few hours so far.

I want to look at the bright side, remembering when I played TS2 the first time, and I felt uneasy, because of the novelty. I still feel better playing TS2, just like I felt about TS1, back in those days, until I was a little more experienced in TS2.

Still, I'm not intrigued enough, now, about TS3. It's weird, because up to a certain point, I could be an ideal TS3 player: I don't mind realism at all, I like cartoonish sims and maxis-match stuff; I don't care about skilling and game goals; I also love to watch the sims doing their stuff on their own. In short, I'm totally the opposite of those who like to micromanage and tell their sims what to do.

Fine; for players like me, this game - AFAICK - is crap. So far, it's extremely disappointing. I love to watch sims doing stuff autonomously, even important ones; I'm not their overlord, but a sort of helper: you want to marry that guy? I hate him, but ok, I will marry you; you want to spawn babies? Fine, you'll have them, and so on.
That's the point: I like to WATCH them do stuff, not learn it by newspaper titles or something like that.

I played the Goths and then the Bachelors for 2 days, and Mortimer and Bella were both at 4 days before aging up when I left. I then sent my CAS sim to chat with a neighbor for a while and the next day both Mortimer and Bella were teens. WTF??
The only way to play I can spot is playing compulsively every household for max 1 day and then switch to another, to keep up with their frenzy. Or having many games, each one with only 2 household played, but it would result in a confusing mess.

I passed the most of the playing time taking notes of the most important mods it will require for me enjoing this game. First will be the new interaction "Punch in da face the moron who makes silly faces all the time". Really, I already hate this with a passion. Apparently in my game everyone thinks this is the best interaction ever, and keeps doing it all the time, wherever they are. And no, it CAN'T BE tight pants Sad.

I was able to make a 2nd household. I just went into edit town, created a new sim, moved him in and changed active household. The other Sim lost his wishes and whatnot, but I was able to switch between them. I really have no idea what the hell they were thinking with that little feature.  I can also play any of the premade Sims in the NHood when I select change active household. Took me awhile to figure all that out though. Stupid annoying feature.

Is it wrong that I have major schadenfreude over "Render Girl" not being in the game? I was hanging around snooty sims a few months back watching people try to convince themselves the game wasn't being delayed, and the obsession with render girl was really disturbing.

Has anyone been able to move the screen from side to side, etc? I mean using the cursor at the sides or top/bottom to just move the screen. I can tilt and rotate, but I can't just use the cursor to move view. Kind of frustrating having to rotate and zoom to see what the hell they are doing.

There's an 'Edge scrolling' option somewhere, probably in 'game' or 'display' option.

And you can move view with clicking the right mouse button too.

You have to go under options and select edge scrolling under gameplay. I wonder who the genius was that thought to have that off by default.

Still slowly downloading , but reading about the pathing /routing does this basically mean we have to go back to Sims1 style and put 2 doors in every room so they can move in and out properly .

It's not only the doors, they could have a 2-tile wide hallway (or turning a corner in a larger room) and if two sims going in opposite directions meet, they'll stand in front of each other until one decides to go around the other.   grrr
