Speaking of Sims 4, I got in the CAS beta on 10th and didn't know until now. I opened Origin to install the Sims 2 and it was sitting in my library. I really should check my email more often.

I got it then too, but haven't had any Emails so it was, like you, chance that I spotted it!
I've enjoyed playing with it, so much quicker than TS3 CAS - though it has only a fraction of the clothing that I've loaded into TS3!. The push-pull manipulation takes a while to master, to get it to do what you want, but is pretty easy to use.
Changing outfits is a snap and they've got some really nice options to choose from. I'm not too concerned about losing custom patterns but it would have been nice to have more choice of colours (like with a colour wheel or some such).
My main criticisms are that they still fix accessories to certain outfits, genders, or styles - would be nice to pick a necklace, or ring, or make-up regardless of who my Sim is or what they are wearing
And then, worst of all for me, that there is no body hair! :evil:

I love how Sims actually look unique. In the TS3 they kind of all look the same, unless they have some really exaggerated features like the Bunch's in Riverview.
Take it with a grain of salt, but the Sims 4 CAS demo is just as a demo... they called it just a sampling. I imagine the final version will have a lot more to it, though what exactly we'll probably have to wait until launch (or possibly the 12th when it supposedly gets opened to the public) to see. I imagine a lot more clothes and color options, couldn't really say anything about body hair.
And I'm so jealous of all of you! I hope it really does open up on the 12th so I can get a crack at it.

That's it, for someone like me, who "needs to know", the most frustrating thing is not being certain what has been left out because it's an early release, what has been limited because it is just a taster and what is not part of the product at all.
So, yes, for things like clothing choices, hairstyles, trait options, I expect we'll get a lot more in the released product. Other things, like colour wheels and body hair ... well ...
Overall though, it's a great demonstration of the technology, I love the general look of the Sims and, as Ash said, the possibilities for creating distinctive Sims should be much greater. :thumbup:
*Crossing fingers (and toes for good measure)* hoping that the Daily Deals and Sales will continue as long as the store is still open. Hoping the Ads continue also, with more Ads available for everyone.
Looking at my list, I still need:
4 Worlds
8 Venues (that aren't included w/worlds)
7 Sets (not including the new August 2014 set)
Looking at my SP balance, I know I can't do it without Ads, Daily Deals and Sales.
Omigosh, you guys, I just finished the best Sim I've ever made on TS4. I'm getting good at it! I started a thread of TS4 CAS tutorials, and decided to do a tutorial walking through the process of making a sim of a real person. I wrote the tutorial and took screenshots through the whole process. It took guts because I didn't know in advance if I'd be able to get him to look right! But I loooove him - whew!
I am thinking perhaps the post has finally reached its limit? If so, I will try moving the thank you list to another post and see if this works!
UPDATE: YES the post reached its limit!! It was too much for the front page to handle! IF the list continues without a rotation we could have a problem. Lets hope it starts repeating soon or I may have to continue the list on post 2.
Why don't you move some stuff down? You have the first four posts on the first page - why not move some of the stuff from post 3 into post 4, some stuff from post 2 into post 3, and then some stuff from post 1 into post 2. The other posts aren't as long as the first one (except possibly the second - hence my suggestion about moving other stuff down), so you should be able to do it.
May take a bit of work and futzing around, but it's doable.
I may have to do that. This list is getting real long and with the extra url info its getting too overloaded. I will have time to possibly do that this evening and see if I can shuffle things around a bit.
@despina53: Thank you so much! Very nice of you! You certainly brightened my day
I'm starting to wonder if there will *ever* be a rotation ...if this is the final burst of glory before they shut down the new content. Maybe it will just be an ongoing rotation of deals so that people can use up their SimPoints since those don't transfer?
Where oh where have the bonus ads gone, I can't seem to find them again? I haven't seen 1 since yesterday morning and have cleared my cookies several times.
Looks like Vineyard Villa Furnishings is going to sell out early.

I hope you'll forgive me for sharing him:
Looks great to me!
I don't mind if you keep sharing, it saves my sanity while I wait for the demo myself. :P
First, thank you so much, Dee. Your gift was not only super appreciated for the gift part, but it also let me prepare for the news in a less-cranky way. It also pushed me into the 'safe' zone for my SimPoint balance, so I'm pretty sure I'll be able to buy my last few items and the next set, then turn to gifting some small things. I've been trying not to panic with these great deals coming up on the DD, but I know I was stretching my SimPoints a bit thin! You've given me great peace of mind. You're always such a sweetie, so thank you.
Now, NO MORE STORE CONTENT?!?!?! :shock: :shock: :shock: :shock:
It feels like the end of an era! Sims 3 was released back when I was in my fairly early days of high school -- and now I'm just months away from graduating university. So much has changed! The last EP and SP was one thing -- but the last Store release is a whole other beast!
I do wish we had known further in advance. Since we hadn't heard anything yet, I kind of assumed we'd see it through to the end of the year. But, I suppose September was always a natural place for them to stop the new content, so I can't say I'm terribly surprised. You know what they say about assuming.
Anyway, it's bittersweet, etc. etc. etc.
As many of you know, I've been trying to makeover my Worlds since just about FOREVER, but I always run into that wall where I realise if I keep going, I won't be able to fit all of the content in. Soon, I'm going to have it all -- no more waiting around for roller coasters and gondolas (apparently; didn't even know that that was a thing that could happen :shock: ).
The gondola thing is interesting. It's a pretty nifty idea and I know that a lot of Simmers will be happy; a 'Tunnel of Love' ride was a pretty high request for a while there. I'll admit, the gondolas mostly scare me at this stage (where am I going to find enough room for THAT!?!), but I'm excited to see something so different. It may not be Venice, but I'm especially excited to see it in action in Monte Vista. I feel like I'm not being excited enough, but I really am! It's just, y'know, hard.
I keep wondering what else they could have made to really add to my game, and the only other thing I can think of is some more fitness stuff (yoga and punching bag for individual Sims, maybe some kind of universal sporting net for group activities). I do wonder just how many Sims are going to be able to enjoy the gondola at a time; obviously, as a romantic thing, it'll seat two Sims (again, I assume that's the case), but it might be nice to see a whole tourist family going down a canal (that fits on a 64x64 lot :shock: ).
Sorry, I'll stop rambling now. I haven't had my morning tea yet, so I'm only half awake.

Oh no, as David said, please keep on sharing, he is certainly a very fine looking Sim.
And, as I am a bit (by which I mean a lot!) rubbish at CAS, a walk-through tutorial would be great.
