    Did you know?
    When you first start the game you can't pitch the camera up and down, however, in the options there is an option called "Sims 3 Camera" that you can select and it's exactly like how you operated the camera in Sims 3.

    Did you know?
    In order to turn off that hideous grid in build/buy mode you can press G. Yup it's that simple!

    Did you know, If you take a Sim to a community lot and leave another at home you can click the greyed portrait and tell them what to do while they stay home. You can also switch focus back to the home Sim but I haven't tried that yet. I assume it leaves the Sim at the community lot. One more thing I noticed was my Sim give a kiss to her BF when she was on her way out for work. It was completely autonomous and adorable. <br />

    I'm in love with the outfit rotation feature!

    I'm in love with outfit rotation as well. I thought I was going to miss Twallan's Dresser Mod. It's awesome to have this in the base game.

    I also love the "away actions" even though I haven't used them yet. ;)

    I am going to sound stupid but what is outfit rotation? :)

    Doesn't sound stupid at all!! Outfit rotation is the ability to choose multiple outfits for your sims (including hair and makeup) and your sim will rotate which outfit he/she wears when they change their clothes. They do this automatically, but you can also click on the sim and change to any ot the outfits at any time. <3

    This is a great thread and I'm bookmarking it. I'll add something:

    Did you know that your sims can multitask? Yeah, you probably knew that, but I didn't until I started playing. And even when the game explained it to me, I didn't quite appreciate what that meant until I saw things start to happen.

    So for the record, what it means is that you can now read a book on the toilet or play videogames on your phone while watching TV (and maybe even carrying on a conversation). Stuff like that. It's really cool, and it kinds of inspires me now to play a kind of minigame of trying to maximize my sims' limited time by doing as much as they can simultaneously.

    I know what you mean when you say that you don't appreciate it until you are playing. I love that you can see who you are chatting with. And, this is so small, but I love that they actually hold the book in their hand when they are just walking to another place to read it (rather than putting it in the inventory)!

    Although there is no "move objects" cheat you can hold the Alt key and that works like move objects did.
    Multitasking is great. She was writing jokes while chatting with nearby people.
    There are a lot of wild plants and digging spots throughout the public spaces.
    Parties are so much fun with group discussions now.

    Also, when you go to plan outfits at the dresser, you can switch between all sims in the household, which is really convenient.

    I did not know that. Cool!!

    ...sims will rotate through their outfits that you selected each time they change?

    I read something about shift clicking on the mailbox and all your sim motives become green. Is that true?

    Ok that is really cool. I love that! I remember in the Sims 3 thinking it would be cool if they could rotate their outfits each day when they would wake up or go out as opposed to them sticking to the same outfit until you the player changed it. Still changing them yourself was not a big deal, but to know they change between outfits themselves in this game is awesome.

    Thanks for filling us in.

    Did you know when your foodie is feeling flirty they can make flirty heart shaped cookies? They are cute looking!

    If you are playful you can make gummy bear pancakes.

    If you take a brisk shower and are energized you can make a protein meal and store it in the fridge to use before a workout. Also makes you energized.
    if you are angry u can make a meal ( i forget what its called and a drink on a bar called the boiler maker but if u eat and drink those together whilst angry you get very angry . i was scared she would die :)
