    Actually some things that annoy me are:
    My sim went over to a house that had a fireplace going and the moodlet did not disappear. :x

    After you assign the bike to someone, whenever you have them go somewhere (aside from work or skewl) they'll ride the bike.

    (1)Skin colour doesn't show up properly. My Sim looks pink! I know I didn't select pink!
    (2) Most of the dark colour choices in create a style is unnatural looking and looks different from colour wheel
    (3) It's a pain having to create a style for everything. (YES I SAID IT) Default stuff is crappy looking, why don't they create a better colour in the first place and ship it?
    (4) I can't believe I cannot make a family with a teen living by herself, a child living with a grandparent, or an adult sibling living with a kid brother
    (5) Story Progression Mode
    (6) Neighbourhoods designed badly. I can't FIND my Sim house! I keep getting lost in the effing neighbourhood and there are not enough cheap empty lots.
    (7) Bad hair styles (Too many messy and weird hair! I want my Sims to look normal not like nutcases who can't afford to go to the dressers and took a scissors to their hair)
    ( 8 ) Sims putting random stuff in their inventory. I have to keep emptying them of newspapers and books!
    (9) Stupid fussy Sims! They have no money and they are whining about cold showers? Be glad they have a shower!
    (10) Crummy houses cost way too much. Even a small tiny 1 bed, 1 bath on the cheapest lot can wipe out all our money so you don't have any left to buy a bed.
    (11) Buttons are not intuitive and clumsy to maneuver.
    (12) FAT faces! FAT faces! UGLY SIMS!!!

    All in all, I am not enjoying this game very much. Will probably not buy any expansions for this.

    First I must say I love TS3...
    But hate there is no bodyshop. I want to do more than use patterns. I need to add more of creativity! :x

    How about..... I have had this game for 4 days and I still can't get it to play. I have done all the "suggested" topics that EA has said that they think might fix the problem but they are still working on it. I keep getting the disk Authentication Failure. :evil:

    Genetic blending...is really bad compared to the sims 2...when making a dark sim and a light sim...the children will either be light OR dark...never a shade inbetween...i feel very disappointed about that

    Are you serious? I didn't know that! That STINKS!

    I know this may shock you...

    but have you looked at your computer and seen if it's a problem with the computer?

    if not, have you attempted going back to the store you bought it from and told them your issue?

    Can't name just one.

    1) Can't customize town
    2) Can only have one household per neighborhood

    Navigation and lack of hairstyles (And assuming that I'm going to PAY for more?! Hahaha... no.)

    This is exactly how I feel! I mean, they barely put anything (objects, clothing, hairstyles) in the game, but yet look at all the crap they have in the Sims3.com Store!!! Like they're fooling anyone. I like the Sims 3, but I doubt if I'll get any expansion packs (and this is coming from someone who has every sims game ever made). I probably wouldn't even have room for more than 1 or 2 expansion packs on my computer.

    If it bothers you so much, then why did you even read this forumn? You say it bugs you, but yet you take the time out of your precious life to come on this forum, read the complaint threads, and leave a comment.

    Why don't you take your cynicism and bottle it up in a jar like you do your loneliness.

    I was gonna say the whole speed thing, but since people are already throwing fits about it, I guess I can pick something else. lol

    I guess the biggest thing that bugs me is the hair on the guys. They're all these really stylish things, and there's very little that would constitute a normal hair style. I mean, look at my avatar. I tried to make it resemble me as accurately as I could, but my hair isn't anywhere near that long.

    I'm here to answer questions of people who need help in game.

    I'm just sick of people, as I said, B, P, & M'ing. The majority of those people do with very little game time, assuming that its as terrible as a first glance. They complain about stuff not being in game even if it actually is!

    A thread perpetuating this whining is nothing but negative. As for your insults, well go ahead and project away.

    You're already insulting us by saying we're B, P, and M-ing over the game. We are simply expressing and sharing our views about the newly released game. No one is judging by first glance either, they're all playing the game and simply discussing what they don't like about it. Did you notice the other threads that discuss what simmers do like about it? No, I assume you just wanted to leave your pessimistic comments for others to see.

    How does "I'm here to answer questions of people who need help in game." even factor in the post that you left on this thread? It doesn't because the comment you left was simply rude and had no attempt at helping others or answering the base question.

    Point 1: Except you are

    Point 2: My conclusions are based on evidence rampant in the forums

    Point 3: Can't contribute anything to solve a problem in a whine thread.

    Point 4: I'd like to spend more time in positive threads, but unfortunately they are WAY outnumbered by ones like this.

    If you take it as an insult, maybe you're offended because you realize you're not really contributing anything by posting in this thread. My ultimate goal is to get it shut down.

    I'm not here to contribute, I'm here to have fun and communicate with others who I share a pastime with. This forum isn't all about help, if you want to "help" (and yes, I say that lightly) others, go to the technical help forum.

    Also, no one here is doing anything wrong, therefore it can't be shut down. We're all just talking about the Sims 3. Just because you don't like it, doesn't make it wrong.
