    Did you know that if you send your street art simmie to any of the WA destinations and have them tag a wall in a tomb,the police will come get your sim? Well,I didn't and was quite impressed how the policeman was able to navigate the tomb and escort my poor sim out of the tomb and drop her off at base camp with a lecture about not doing that again then slapping her with a fine to boot. I figured it was safe to do since I'd never seen any police in the WA locations. Ugh! lol!

    My sims have had burglars in the WA worlds, but not nearly as often as in the home world. The police come for them, just like in the home world.

    Sims can spontaneously combust if left out in the hot sun too long. Learned that one the hard way recently.

    They can put themselves out if the jump in the shower, but yeah, quite a surprise.

    I'd never picked up on this small detail until a few days ago. Notice anything about the bubbles?

    I'd like to see that, alas I never had Sims 3.

    Maybe someone has a screenshot or game video of this. I know they have excellent stuff about fires in Sims 1. ^_^



    @puzzlezaddict Aside from the bubbles being in an heart shape, I can't catch the "little detail".

    It almost seems as though it would make a good contest!

    @Miki I only meant that the bubbles form a heart shape, which rotates over the hot tub a bit before the shape bursts and the bubbles scatter. I always knew that the bubbles were there, just not that they would briefly coalesce into a heart.

    OK so it was "right before my eyes" in the screenshot.

    (Some things are trickier though!I was prepared for a real puzzler)

    I didn’t notice until recently that Sims rub noses after making out on the couch :) I think it’s adorable! (Just ignore the constipated smiles.)

    Just discovered last night:

    I didn't know sims could chit chat and socialize while riding horses.

    @becks1112 Got that problem, Jérémy always died because of that and I lost a lot of my vallerians. I was so tired I use tempest now I bring the summer cooler than casual. (fortunately I bring them back ahaha never ever let them say goodbye)
    and I also download a mod that allowed them too be too hot or too cold. I am extremely disatisfed by this.

    I finally found the MP3 player guys !! this is the small blue rectangle stuff in the audio/music catalog. For 7 years I searched for it ahaha I am so laame at sims 3.

    It's awesome you can pick your dirty dishes and slide them directly to the dishwasher... no more spending time on your sims to take the plate and to put it him/herself in the dishwasher.
    Same for dirty clothes on floor ahaha

    Hopefully a new dishwasher, since shoving dirty laundry as well as dishes into one isn't really going do much for the lifespan of the appliance. Not that I would know that from experience or anything... :p

    @Cadh20000: When I say a new it's mean a new thing ! As I am not an English speaker in reality I can say stupid things especially when I am exciting to share news with the world ahah.
    I am French by the way from France , I am unilingual. the French forum is dead and people are not funny other there; the moderators are :|:|:s BORING !! :|:| we don't have the freedom of speech and to think we are here.

    @Igazor : It did not broke. I only did once . :D ...I was so lazy, Miss V left the house without puting the plate into the dishwasher.

    and for the dirty clothes you can bring them into the basket and something to try I didn't test that yet, maybe we can bring it directly into the washing machine.

    Yes, I was teasing you when you said the "same for dirty clothes on the floor," meaning that the clothes go into the dishwasher as well.

    You only have to add one word on the title of your post, it's missing an object. "I've got a new one" is what I think we all knew you meant.

    And if you want more hilarious moderators, spend some time at NRaas. We have them rolling in the aisles over there and we even have a "Funny" reaction button now. :)

    @igazor That's weird because when I express myself in reality in French I am not 🐸🐸🐸🐸 but in English I say often nonsense ahaha. When I speak to somebody on subjects I don't know how to say them in English it's like I am a kid I feel so ignorant. Thank you for telling me what's wrong with my sentence. I'll go in Nrass when the site will be stable. I let you the time to move everything.
    I am sure if we got a lol button here, I would have a record .
    The trouble is sometimes I think too much in French so I translate what I got in my mind. It's not quite easy to think as a true Native English speaker because both languages have their own way of thinking.

    I don't think the clothes goes to the dishwasher but if somebody is a crazy modder why not making it true. :):)

    @Simsophonique
    It still comes across what you mean, your grasp on english is not in the way and it does not give the impression of an immature person. It is very clear that this forum houses people from different part of the world and not all of us have english as our first language, which in itself makes for funny situations and misunderstandings. So the joke was not on you or about you, your comment just worked as a conductor :smile:

    @Simsophonique And that is why I am no good at any language other than my native English. Knowing several words and some phrases doesn't equate to being able to speak a language well. But it just sometimes takes a bit more work to get your point across is all, no big deal.
    If something isn't clear, the one who couldn't quite understand just needs to ask for clarification like I did earlier.

    @Auroraskies: I am under SSRI, (please the young don't take drugs if you're not invited by your shrink or your doctor because you are ill) everything about me doesn't affect me negatively anymore. It took it kinda well and I think I was funny for a time in my life ahaha :) I just shared my struggle with a friendly simmer I confide myself only.

    @Cadh20000 : Of course, you were right to ask me , thank you by the way. :D I agree with you, if somebody is confused with my sentences or if I took something wrong, they got the freedom to ask me or to speak with me. I am no more dramatic or far less than before.

    I just noticed for the first time that sims with trait 'brooding' autonomously 'talk about feelings'. Lovely!

    @Simsophonique - you can drag the clothes directly into the washing machine as well. There seems to be a limit, though, after a few times it is "full" (same with the hamper) and your sim has to start the machine.
    (I understand you just fine by the way. I´m not a native speaker myself, I´m german - hello neighbour! :)
    My four years french from school have kind of disappeared, I´m ashamed to say.)

    I recently found out, that sims with the light sleeper trait have unique sleeping animations, they pull a lot of faces and even open their eyes. (He would probably be happy about a dishwasher.)

    (No, I don´t usually watch my sims while they are sleeping, why?).

    Just assume that every edit I make is because of typos.

    That's odd, I always watch my sims while they are sleeping. Maybe not all night, but can't help it really. I've always assumed they watch me when I'm sleeping too, though guess I can't really prove that. o:)
