  • Yeah, GalacticGal is right. For me it started with one or two high school students being Global Superstars and by the end of the game week everyone was. It seems to infect, er, that is, affect, every sim in the game. When everyone is a Global Superstar, no one is.
  • For me the problem was having too many girlfriends. After asking enough of them to "just be friends" the option to marry/elope with my fiance finally became unshaded.
  • If you have Ambitions, I would suppose someone making it to level 10 in the Education career would allow classes for skills. Anyway, some suggestions for Ambitions additions: Require level 10 in Ghost Hunter as an addtiional requirement to lift Ghostly Encounters. Require level 10 in Architectural Designing before…
  • If you like Southern Gothic books and movies about inbred swamp-dwellers with vestigial tails, then this is the game for you! (No, you can't see the tails on the sims of Twinbrook, but I bet they're there!) To complete the ambiance, just drop the soundtrack from Deliverance into your custom music folder. Groove on Dueling…
  • What a comprehensive review! I bet you do this professionally! Do you also review books and movies?
  • It comes with Ambitions. Go to the main screen. Twinbrook should be in the little window at the top. If not, use the arrow to select it. Then click the new game icon and there you are.
  • It's hanging on the wall. If you're playing with the walls down you'll never find it.
  • 1. Can't collect weekly income from businesses. 2. Can't enter grocery store. (Bugs 1 and 2 don't affect new games.) 3. Refrigerator doesn't keep food from spoiling. 4. Food left out overnight doesn't spoil, but still makes sims sick. 5 Black water in swimming pools. 6. No wall grabber/room stretcher in building mode. That…
  • Just give it to charity.
  • Yeah, I think of the "rabbit holes" as places reserved for further expansions. Once there is an expansion there probably will be a loading screen (Ugh!) involved to get there. But loading screen or no, I'd love to see an entire expansion dedicated to exploring the mausoleum, not to mention seeing what the sims experience…
  • Yeah, I always buy a partnership out of my starting money. With the journalism career I can zip off 2-5 articles a day and stack up the royalties. (They count the same as a book, except you don’t get advances while writing them.) Selling fish and produce really adds up too. Then I buy more partnerships and businesses, and…
  • The game should announce the reason why during the age transition, like "Because X did poorly in school he/she has received the Y trait." For example one of my underachieving sims kids received "Loner", and another received "Loser". On the other hand if they did well in the previous cycle there will be an announcement that…
  • If they're in the fish bowl you have to feed them every day or they will die. If you get tired of feeding them every day you can just scoop them out and put them back in your inventory for a while.
  • Me too. I really miss the weather. In fact sometimes I'm tempted to play Sims 1 because I miss Magic Town. But then I remember all the loading screens...
  • Maid: Clean other sims’ houses. Garbage Sim: Pick up other sims’ garbage. Mail Sim: Deliver other sims’ mail. Repair Sim: Fix other sims’ broken stuff. Gardener: Mow lawns and maintain other sims’ plants. Burglar: Steal other sims’ stuff. Fire-sim: Put out other sims’ fires. (And put out other sims.) Private Detective:…
  • Hospital buyout is 75K.
  • Yeah,they never got the memories to work right.
  • Loading screens. One save only. End of the lot, end of the world. Sims going nuts trying to turn off a computer, even when someone else was using it. Ugly townies walking by every hour. Ugly townies. Telephone Jump Bug. Sims bringing strange (and ugly) townies home from work or school. Sims losing the fingerprint scanner.…
  • Injuries. Surely *some* sims would survive all the drownings, fires, electocutions, etc. even if barely. Bandaids, bandages, slings, casts, ambulances, hospital stays. CPR and ICU. Visit your sim friends in the hospital. And if they don't pull through, you can throw a party, er, that is, funeral, at the cemetery and invite…
  • I kept my sim out real late so she was very tired. She was all red in the energy bar. I got her home and in bed. Nice and asleep. So I thought. Suddenly a “Zz” (“Passed out”) symbol appeared in her queue. She woke up, got out of bed, and promptly fell on the floor dead asleep. She slept on the floor for a bit, then finally…
  • Portable piano = accordion. Sims would absolutely love accordions. Street musicians playing accordions on every corner would be paradise to a sim.
  • Click on City Hall and sometimes there's an option for your sim to start a protest.
  • Ah! That's got to be it. Good catch!
  • Just like real life. Somewhere back in time we all have a common ancestor. We're all brothers and sisters. No wonder we fight so much.
  • They've obviously heard tales about the ladder mysteriously vanishing.
  • I want boats. An Ocean career where the sim goes out on Fishing Boats. And competes in boat races. And joins the Navy. And lives on a house boat you can sail around and moor in different places and neighborhoods. And you can put on scuba gear or a deep diving suit and explore underwater. And live in an underwater city. And…
  • You can do that if one of your parents had the crime career. And you inherited the hidden trait "Burglar" from them. And you are at the stage in the crime career where you can "Sneak". Or you could just use a mod to give yourself the trait.
  • Earlier the rumor was the expansion was going to be about the sims at work. "Virtuous Ventures" was the title. It would be announced in August and released in October. Supposedly leaked by the EA director of marketing during a convention in Brazil. He also said there were 17 expansions planned. So according to rumors…
  • I like the idea of making an amusement park like Magic Town for the sims. Rides, booths, shows, etc. Build a permanent park, or have a different carnival or circus show up at a vacant lot every weekend. Animal Rights Sims can picket the circus, maybe set free animals that sims can then search for and capture for rewards,…
