THANKS THIS IS GREAT

I've been playing since the second day this was out.  My husband came home on the second full day of play, took one look at the house (laundry strewn about everywhere, kids running amok, etc) and said, "Well, I see you've been simming."  LOL

The good:

-Traits, FTW.  I have a good, handy, friendly sim who fell in love with the flirty maid.  His flirty rockstar roomie immediately started putting the moves on her.  So hilarious!
-Collecting.  I like being able to find things worth money, and I'm enjoying the gardening.
- CAST for the most part is win.  I like being able to customize EVERYTHING (except stairs of course  Tongue)  I do sometimes get overwhelmed with the choices and just give up and pick something crappy and default.
- Open world.  Even at 1 AM feels "real" to me.  I LOVE being able to see what each household sim is up to.  I LOVE being able to go into neighbors' houses and see all their stuff and hang with the fam.
- The different ways to work, different ways to socialize.
- Sunrise, sunset.

The bad:
- pathfinding.  Two of my sims were standing outside flirting.  I sent them inside to woohoo.  The male went in the door and relaxed on the bed.  The female went around the side of the house and stood there complaining that she couldn't get to the bed.  WTF?
- random spawning/progression of the  neighborhood.  In Pescado We Trust.

Has anyone found the money tree seeds or the death tree seeds?  My girl wants to grow those stupid things and I haven't found them yet.  I guess she needs to go back to the catacombs, where she found the Life Tree seeds.  Not really sure what the Life Tree plants do for you yet though.  I let her eat one and nothing happened.

ETA - I love gardening, esp not having to plant after every harvest

I believe it's one of the ingredients for the Ambrosia food recipe, which supposedly works as the Elixir of Life of TS3. I assume you need maximum Gardening to plant those, right?

And has anyone figured out where you can fish for the other ingredient for that recipe, which was called Deathfish or something like that.

Pescado - Right oh, thought I might be behind the 8 ball on that one, but nothing lost by saying it outloud, either.

Witch -  speaking of cheats. Is there a consolidated list out there of what does and doesn't work atm?

Bubbs - the death plant is in the cemetary, you have to get there at the right time to harvest it, so you may have to visit more than once.

Second batch of reasons why I love this game (now with non-lolcaptions!):

Dear Diary, today I rolled the wish to flirt with my boyfriend's father. While cheating can be fun, it's even better to just cut the problem open with a sharp plate.

DO NOT TRY TO KISS THE AUTONMOUS LESBIAN (exciting news!).

W-what made you guess that the elder was Family-Oriented with a Fertility Treatment?

http://www.rpgmaker.net/~craze/Junk/Screenshot-160.jpg
I really need to split up this household, but the Reynold clan is taking over five houses already. In other news, three of the seven Reynold daughters are autonomous lesbians.

To get Deathfish, you need to fish at the graveyard between midnight and 4am. You need to use angelfish as bait--and to catch an angelfish, you need a certain type of catfish for bait (it's the kind you can buy at the store).

Deathfish and angel fish are levels 10 and 8 respectively, but using the right bait, I was able to catch them before I had the right fishing skill level.

Oh wow. As soon as my Sim's husband left from work, he died. His coworker came out as well and watched the whole thing. Only to faint right right after. Now that was hilarious.

Major annoyance- why is my female toddler dressed in only a pair of cut off pants? I'm not shipwrecked. If I have to put up with the darn thing
I at least want it her to look half decent.  Seriously she's going to be a toddler for 7 days?  DNW!  How soon can they be grown up? I noticed
when it was her toddler birthday her parents (who at the time had 2 days until aging themselves) could also have grown up. So is 2 days the max?

You can have a toddler sim selected and click the dresser and say "plan outfit" also you can click the mirror with toddler selected and they change their own appearance too!

Also, for some graphical glitches, and some good laughs, I have some screenshots. I noticed while planning my toddlers outfit, when I spun her around, her eyes were black in the mirror, it was very creepy. Her eyes are actually green, and when facing the mirror they turned black. All my settings are maxed, so its not an issue with that.



Also, her twin sister was playing with blocks, and eating them of course, turns out, eating blocks isn't good for you, and here's why:

The Death Flower bush is in the graveyard- it'll die after you harvest it though.

Hadn't even heard of the Life Tree. I'll have to go look for that.

Maybe her eyes are black because she's evil. Doubt that's what it is, but that would have been cool, ha-ha. The other pics reminds me of that weird glitch in Sims 2 with the toddlers teeth hanging from the bottom of their chins. Gross!

Does anyone know how to delete all the sims in the town? Bar say 1 or 2,
Or will they respawn? thought I could do an "I am legend sim "senario....
Also I have read of a cheat called "fisheye" (which doesn't work) supposed to enable you to see through your sims eyes viewpoint,which would be cool driving around in a car!

You know, I had really hoped that "enablellamas" would have given everyone llama heads or something similar.  Grin

In any case, new bug...or something to report.  KagomeSim had her baby (which turned out to be a boy, and thus he was named Kouga and given the insane/neurotic traits for the hell of it), and when his bladder got low enough, I changed his diaper.  And changed his diaper.  And changed...you get the idea.  She went through the motions sure enough, but the bladder level never filled.  Instead I gave up and pottytrained his little ass instead of letting him become a stinking mess.  Roll Eyes

*unlurks*

I just downloaded the game today and while it's fun to play with I wouldn't shell out $50 for it. I hate the fact that they have very few items in the game and that you can only play one house. I also had a weird bug with one of my houses in which if a kid stepped outside during the night the cops would show up. WTF? She's right next to the door and in her yard, leave her alone!

My (probably very wrong but please don‘t shatter my hopes) theory is that EA knew that they'd be pirated and so made it that you'd get half the content after registering the game.

So people were having an issue with family trees not displaying a father, and it's now happening to my family. It's not just a display error, either - the game doesn't recognize them as family at all, which has led to a sim autonomously hitting on her father. The thing is, the first child born to the family founder does display properly, but his sisters don't. I also think he's spawned on his own, but the family tree isn't showing it.

I'm curious to know if there are options to package Sims or lots to share them like there is in TS2.  Does it look like that's possible, or is the game set up to only share textures?  And is there a way to clone born-in-game Sims?

If the answer to those is no, then they've REALLY made it impossible for storytellers.

Yes, just hit the package to exchange button and it'll put a file in the "Exchange" folder in Documents\Electronic Arts\The Sims 3

Yes, in the "edit town" mode you can package up sims, lots, etc... and also just pop them into your My Documents custom content folder to import. I tested both this afternoon.
