    Might be one lucky Simmer's res getting bumped up maybe. I put a question mark after it. Thanks!

    the lag.
    kidding, I played with my settings and it's all better.
    I've only saw what you mentioned too...
    I notice my packs have been revitalized.
    like None of my Sims have gotten sick in a long time, and bam! My Sims are coming down with Fevers and getting Migraines.

    No, I've had it for a while, but someone posted in another thread that the menu had changed.

    lol, I'm glad to hear that. I hope you can afford to play with the new lighting settings. Hm, I wonder if that illness probability boost came with the patch.

    Thanks for posting this! Buy a retail store menu is new? I remember when GTW first came out, the button was on the UI in the far right corner when the game was first loaded. Is this what you're referring to?
    Can't wait to get into the game, and see all these changes.

    Does she possibly mean a menu list of stores to buy instead of the map. Which btw, was in TS2's OFB to pick from a list.

    I know how silly this sounds but I have been waiting FOREVER for my sims to be able to get water from the fridge instead of the cooler. I hate them always drinking milk or juice. So happy right now!
