  • This is sounding more and more like what LGR review was for Sims Social :lol: Especially the part where he gets to talking about having to harass your friends in order to advance in the game. :roll: The only way to advance your sims is to do that or pay with your cc :roll: Check out what he says at 5:00…
  • :-o The Sims 3? Not enough like TS2.--Precisely. Try researching what happened to the customer relationship of a company like Coca Cola when it changed its formula back in the 1980's. :lol: World Adventures? Not enough content.---No too much grind with RPG which I wouldn't have bought had I known that previously. Stuff…
  • This made me giggle. :-o That's like saying BF3 will surpass CoD MW3 in sales---or Skyrim too come to think of it :lol:
  • Any of Rflong7's island themed worlds: Twikkii Island, Legacy Island, Picaroon Island, flame Island, Oasis Island. There many other beach themed worlds as well. Just check out the worlds in the CAW World index stickied at the top of this forum like estyle36 said :-)
  • This. And since weather is going to be so difficult to code, would it be possible to extend the radius of influence for the existing fog emitters? i.e. to as big as a 64x64 size lot? The current emitters are limited to an 8x8 area I think. Also if a 64x64 lot area is possible, what about having a universal emitter (or…
  • Ah nvm then :-o Didn't realize Cyron43 had this challenge going on already--this is definitely something I'm going to try. :) I've been looking for a good gaming scenario to play my low income hobo sims in. It's too easy for sims to make money in the game or go broke for that matter. Now I finally get a practical reason to…
  • Jarsie an alternative way of playing the game like this already exists in the game. Existing community lots like the Twinbrooks Consignment store (i.e. that little cottage next to the store) and the Ambitions fire station all have beds & basic living amenities. So your sims can easily squat on these lots for free while…
  • Wow. This. I couldn't agree more--the chat system is definitely going to change the open and egalitarian nature of the forum dynamic. I can see where it might help with improving some forum security issues. But given the large degree of Tweens & Teens demographic on the site, I'm also willing to bet it's going to encourage…
  • The title on this thread made me giggle. :P I'm not trying to burst your bubble or kill your enthusiasm for this EP btw. But TBH this kum ba yah which you alluded to: is only going to happen in the TS3 forum when puppies fart rainbows!
  • I remember that JR interview with Cramer in the Mad Money segment "Is ERTS A Transformer?" It aired back on Sept 21 2011, just one week shy of the start of 4Q 2011. According to the CNBC article in that link, JR claimed EA's aggressive move into social media and online gaming had "paid off" and that the business was…
  • Agreed. I've always wanted to use the Renault Twizzy eco station. Maybe connect the animation of giving your car gas to that useless vehicle enthusiast trait perhaps? :? More you fuel the car with gas, the higher your relationship bar will be with your vehicle... :lol: IDK. But like laundry, it would be nice to have the…
  • Mea culpa :oops: I got so used to having this functioning cc in my game that it just snuck in there. The amusement park was a community venue created by some incredibly talented modders over at MTS. There are several versions of this venue at MTS. The most comprehensive one included a working ferris wheel, merry go round,…
  • just use the moveobjects on cheat to place them in the basement. That's how you fit buildings like the stadium & hospital below ground
  • -getting electrocuted by lightning while flying a kite in a thunderstorm or hanging out in the hot tub -watching your hyper agressive puppy chase the little newspaper girl off the lot -learning to breakdance -repairing/restoring cars on the weekend -seeing Santa at Christmas -going bowling with friends on TGIF -having your…
  • The irony of the situation is that you ARE actually playing a TS 2.5 by default. The more TS3 matures with EPs and SPs, the more things remain the same: WA = TS 2.5 BV on RPG steroids minus the rest and relaxation bit AMB = super watered down version of TS 2 OFB LN = super diluted version of TS 2 NL + AL GEN = super…
  • That concern also really stood out for me too. Especially because another beta tester brought it up again on the Simport feature in Q14: Hmmm. Wonder what they meant by "lose all benefit of the tour"? What happens if your friend accepts your sim tour request, but goes offline immediately afterwards? Does that mean your sim…
  • The artist herself isn't really all that bad. I think the way in which EA promoted her back in TS2 AL was a tastefully marketed sales promotion--unlike now with ST :? But while clearly talented, KP is not the A list superstar music icon entertainer that she's being marketed as a.k.a the $10 extra for the collector's…
  • yeah I saw that press release. Some of the comments that follow the article in the second link are spot on. Particularly comment #4 made by psycros:
  • Because TS3 Online would be a horrifying reality. If social networking with advanced avatar graphics is what you're looking for, then you'll need to subscribe to that frightening TS3 doppelganger wannabe a.k.a Sims Social. At least you'll get to surf and windsurf in that rip off "life simulator" world :? Why did TSO suck…
  • I realize this. Goodness me....my apologies...I forgot to include the [sarcasm] and [/sarcasm] tags in my post :lol: :shock: [sarcasm]OMG---what will happen when EA finds out about TSR???[/sarcasm] That being said, I'd have NEVER discovered the amazing universe of 3rd party CC, if it hadn't been for the eye-gouging…
  • The lack of TS2 open sandbox and creative style game play is what is definitely missing. Perfect example is the limitations with building custom entertainment venues in TS3. Showtime will be addressing some of these features. But the degree of flexibility in TS3 community lot design is still lacking. Take the Carnival…
  • Another amazing world! :D This reminds me of Red Dead Redemption for some reason. I've been wanting to do a western theme of this, especially now that we have horses. I love the town layout and especially the train station. Have you tried using Hexate999 deco locomotive train build set over at MTS? It's a full set that may…
  • I particularly love this bit from the EULA which most people don't even bother to read: "....EA may also use this information combined with personal information for marketing purposes and to improve our products and services. We may also share that data with our third party service providers in a form that does not…
  • They've attempted Machiavellian tactics in the past with the Rockstar's GTA series, when they offered to buyout Take Two. EA tried to acquire Take Two just before GTA IV went gold back in 2008. But Take Two held out against the $2 billion offer and EA walked. Jesu Forfend. GTA, Max Payne, Bioshock, Civilization and Duke…
  • Yeah, actual crowd attendance at these new stage venues has been one of my main concerns since the producer walkthrough. Jarsie was right about those silouettes being used to simulate a full audience :? So I guess the next question is, what's the max limit for real sims attending these new stage venues? Are the 5-6 real…
  • Yes, you most definitely are :lol: That particular lot is called the midnight garden. It's from the TS3 exchange and was uploaded around the time when the base game came out. :shock: So yeah, it's pretty old. But it's creator did an amazing job decorating it though. :-) CC like the Parisan arc de' triomphe or the Hawaiian…
  • Twallan's Traveller mod will automatically prompt you to save the world you edit as a default. You'll have to do this the first time your sim visits the CAW world. Also note with this mod, you're not limited to just the EA worlds. You can visit ANY of the player made worlds in the CAW forum :) I particularly love sending…
  • but those 300+ quests weren't all the same repetitive taskings. They were a mix of Thieves/Mage guild faction quests, favor quests, miscellaneous quests, dungeon quests, daedric quests, main/civil war quests etc. etc. Hell, they might even be random world events you stumble across while traveling between cities. Like an…
