      I love the feature we have to make sims dump their lovers! One of my sims was in love with a guy who was engaged, but she just grew intimate with him and had him dump his fiance! Then for some reason I am enemies with his fiance and I have never even MET her. O.o

      I also LOVE the graphics!
      Happy Simming! o:)

      And another thread on the same topic hurts whom?

      In most other forums once a thread gets past so many pages they get locked - who wants to have to wade through a 100 page thread :roll:

      Can't name just one thing - there are so many things I love about the game. The most recent thing that happened - I created an insane, excitable, evil, genius, kleptomaniac sim today. I was just letting her do her own thing and she decided to pick a book to read out of the bookcase. A Magnetic Attraction - which I believe is meant to be a romance. So she get's about half way through it, and suddenly stands up making gagging noises, then runs to the bathroom and throws up in the toilet.

      She hadn't eaten any bad food - there was none in the house and she can't cook yet so she's been living on cereal and canned soup. The only thing that could have caused her to be sick was the icky romance book. So awesomely funny.

      Lol. My sim went over his sisters house and started using HIS laptop to play a game. Apparently my sim was acting inappropriatley and he got kicked out.

      It's those little stupid things I love :lol:

      I love zooming out from your house and seeing the entire neighbourhood, the view is beautiful. I love the shadows and the wind blowing in the trees, i love the clear water, and not having to load a screen when you leave the house.

      I also like the different sized cavases for painting, and the fact that you can drag stuff around instead of having your Sim do all the work.

      I love the "upgrade to self-cleaning" so you can save money by not needing a maid.

      Most of all i LOVE create a style because i am OCD about everything matching and colour coordinating, and this tool is a godsend.

      I love the feature where you can talk to a ghost like a regular sim. I also love the fact that you can woohoo with ghost! I love the graphics, the ability to go anywhere in town and the surroundings, and traits. :!:

      Ohoh!! The self-cleaning upgrade!! Love. I spent the first two or three sim days in my Sim's brand new house upgrading everything to self-cleaning.

      Loving the traits too, it only took me 6 irl hours to go from Business grunt to lvl 10 because my sim was Ambitious and Charismatic.

      Yes! I love how each trait will give you different choices for interacting with other sims and items.

      I love how dare devil sims can take "extreme sleeps" and take "extreme showers until extremely clean". :wink:

      I love the skills and how the sims actually learn when they level up.

      I also love the Lifetime Wish of becoming a Super Secret Agent. One of my sims is and he looks really spiffy in the tux :wink:

      As always, I love the sense of humor that EA has in the game. All of the descriptions of jobs and furniture are whitty and fun to read.

      I love having the little tasks which you have to complete, such as being asked to make a meal for another family or having to meet up with a certain sim. It just makes the game more interesting, and also the aspect of customising everything so easily.

      The personality trait system is definitely the best feature of the game. The sims are truly unique for the first time. I'd like to see that trait system expanded with more slots for traits and even more traits to choose from. But, it's still amazing to see some of the behavior quirks pop-up in sims. For example, Sandi French from the Single Moms household started going out with one of my sims when they were teens and she eventually married and had six children with him (not necessarily in that order). She left her husband and kids and now exists as an apparently homeless townie. At first, I thought this was the game's story progression feature, moving her out. But, after moving her back into the house several times only to have the same thing happen, I've come to the conclusion that story progression quirks aren't necessarily to blame as the mechanics of that are completely arbitrary from what I've observed, but are a direct result of her own personality and the fact that she is wholly incapable of raising small children and keeping a house. I was taken aback at first at her resistance to the life plan I had for her (which certainly included her pursuing her lifetime wish of becoming leader of the free world, but also included her being married to my sim and having six children). Now with the sim I created being a single dad, I have his parents and siblings drop by from time to time to help with the toddlers. I actually wish they'd add a feature to the game to allow relatives to babysit -- be able to have a sim drop their kid of at a relative's house or even have a daycare rabbit hole for single parents who work instead of the mostly useless babysitter (I had hoped that the babysitter would be an improvement on the nanny from Sims 2, but no such luck.

      I love how dare devil sims can take "extreme sleeps" and take "extreme showers until extremely clean".

      Haha, is that the daredevil trait? I did wonder why some sims just randomly did everything 'EXTREME'.

      I love the new pregnancy, + all the moodlets. My personal favourite is 'New Car Smell', 'Disgusted' makes me laugh too. I like how their character portait changes depended on their mood (the tense face cracks me up everytime). Making my athletic sims go on jogs, and a taxi appearing out of nowhere when I get bored of them running! Supermarket shopping, the spa, being able to see where your sims work.

      Pretty much everything to be honest. So glad I cleaned the dust out of my fans, or I would never have played this amazingly awesome game! :D
