It does build a hidden blocks skill, which gives them logic skill once they become a child. My toddler had level three block skill and was promoted to level three logic skill as soon as she started playing chess for the first time.

The table builds logic skill?  My toddler used it to no effect.  She built her 3 pre-logic points using the little block sorter.  I made sure to have her use the table first, to ensure it wasn't actually building skill.

Has anyone else noticed how psychic these sims are?  In TS2 you could have a husband cheat on his wife in another room of the house and no one would ever be the wiser (unless they're woohoo-ing of course).  In TS3 the wife will storm to whatever room the husband is in and berate the guest for being rude.  The babies seem to have also inherited this psychic ability because when the husband moved in on his target again the baby got a negative ML because he (apparently) caught his dad cheating.  He wasn't even on the same floor, much less the same room as his father but I guess he's just sensitive to lewd behavior.   Roll Eyes

On a side note...someone tell me where the money tree is!?  I can't figure it out.

I got the money tree after around the 9th gardening skill level. I want to say I was awarded it rather than finding it. It came as a seed. Not as a tree, like it has in previous sims games. But since it comes as a seed, I see no reason why it can't be found somewhere throughout the town either. But then, how much do I really know?

I planted one in a household, then have been playing another. The money tree grew from a sapling and is either harvestable one day and just showing mature the next. It seems to be stuck at "Excellent" status, though, and hasn't dropped a seed. I got mine from the catacombs.

Wonder if that one of the unknown seeds my sim keep picking up and hasn't grown much. I haven't played much this week, so my sim is at level 5.

Money trees can be found as Special type seeds around town. Trouble is, that so can the flame bush, the life fruit bush, and the Death flower bush. So, basically you have a 1/4 chance of it being a money tree when you find a Special seed.

Once the money tree grows up, and starts being ready to harvest, there is a modest chance that it will drop a money tree seed. That can then be used to plant another one.

I just picked a whole lot of unknown special seeds and planted them. After around 40 seeds i had 6 money trees.

My money tree seeds keep dropping seeds.  So now I have about six in the front yard.   I may have gotten them at level 4 or five but I'm not sure.  Then again money gets thrown at you for almost everything in this game so to me it's no big deal.

Interestingly though the repo man can't repossess any of my sims stuff.  She's a Mad scientist and had performed experiments on most of her stuff (including the toilet).   Twice he's come and left empty handed.  At first I thought it was a lucky game bug but apparently it's no glitch.   

He tries to take them and expresses frustration when he can't, moving from item to item attempting to grab it and finally stomping his feet when he can't get them and making a gesture like "forget it" and leaving unsatisfied.  Semi-amused me.

And the moving wall hangings vertically thing...that was what AL or M&G?  It was nice but really it's too recent to expect it to have made base TS3.  Look at spiral stair cases.  We didn't get them til Makin Magic for TS1 and it took til AL to get them in TS2.  I get what people are saying about a new game needing to be better than it's predecessor is NOW but that just isn't EA's M.O.

Actually, spiral staircases came in UL. SS brought curved staircases.

Technically, there isn't really a RULE, it's just a pointless practice. It's only REALLY annoying when people insist on signing names that AREN'T EVEN THEIRS.

Look. Check Hook's profile, especially his join date.

Now look at the join date of the people getting poked.

Hook's retardery was grandfathered in, because his retardery predated the MATY rules.

We don't deny that it is redundant, stupid and annoying, just that he is old and doing it deliberately to piss people off, and was doing it before other stupids thought it was a good idea to be redundant, stupid and annoying and then an even better idea to argue about why it is SO MEAN and UNFAIR that they are told to cease with that nonsense immediately.

On the plus side, we congratulate you for picking a most appropriate username.

In TS3 the wife will storm to whatever room the husband is in and berate the guest for being rude.  The babies seem to have also inherited this psychic ability because when the husband moved in on his target again the baby got a negative ML because he (apparently) caught his dad cheating.

Has anyone finished writing books yet?  One of my sims received an opportunity to donate three self-written books to the City Hall, so I had him work on that. Unfortunately, now that the books are done I can't seem to find a way to actually get them; I looked for some sort of "order copy of book" option on the phone, computer and mailbox, but got nothing. I tried the book store as well, but they weren't on the list. The only place I *did* find one of them was the library, but those books can't be purchased as far as I could tell.

After the book is complete, a free copy should arrive in the mailbox.  I've also received them by joining the bookclub (this may be limited to bookworm Sims).

...Oh. Were they delivered after a specific number of days? Granted, less than a week has passed since I finished them (I think...I did receive royalties for the first one) I guess I'll wait a couple of more days and see what happens, and look for that bookclub option. I don't think my non-Bookworm sim has it, but I might have missed it. Thanks for the answer!

ETA: You're right, mrowcat. They were there when I used the "Get Mail" option. Thanks.

My author usually receives it the next day. Check the mailbox for the 'get mail' option.

You should also check the inventories of the sims on the lot, as it gets stuffed in there, if any of 'em went and got the mail themselves.
