I don't own a Mac but I just stumbled on this thread as I was skimming the home page and thought I'd try and help, since my laptop overheats too. I bought an external cooling fan for mine and it works wonders! Hope this helps you too :)
7. Being able to adjust the heights of each room instead of all of them, and the same for foundations. This, along with split floors, sunken areas, platforms etc, would allow for some wonderful and unusual buildings!
Your ideas = fantastic. There's so much potential for the expansion, yet I've always found them quite limiting. I think they need to implement your ideas :)
She has quite a boyish frame, which isn't a bad thing. It actually suits her very much. Everyone seems to make females with big hips, tiny waists etc... and quite obviously you can make beautiful females without any of that. Good job :)
OMG that is really spooky and very sad. It was just a really nasty co-incidence though and not your fault. I can imagine it made you feel pretty awful at the time though :(
I went and made my Sim self again. She is in my avatar. Really impressed on how much she actually looks like me! And yes, I know I'm not the prettiest woman out there lol. But hey ho!
I usually end up getting jealous of my sim-self because she always ends up being more successful and cooler than me, always ends up with the dream man, the marriage, the kids... then I look at myself and realise how much of a loser I actually am lol.
I hardly ever make my Sims woo-hoo, I only use it for baby making. It's not that I don't like them doing it, I just always seem to forget. They're usually cooking, eating, watching TV, playing on their phones... who has time for woo hoo? Lol. Things have to change with my Sims haha.
I think the idea of dying from emotions is a bit extreme. I think, rather than dying, the Sim should take a couple of days out and book themselves into rehab (in a way that wouldn't be too controversial). I think that would make more sense.
I love the ideas you have proposed, and everyone else's ideas too. And I LOVE the idea of unpredictable births. It would be great to go overdue or give birth early.
It would be nice to be able to create your own neighbourhoods too. I think, though, as the game expands, more neighbourhoods will be added and they will all be interlinked. Watch this space :)
I built a really nice but small house using the basic rooms. Then I got rid of all the furniture, added my own furniture, tweeked it a bit, and it turned out good. It was so cozy.
In one of the families I'm playing, the husband went to work, the wife cooked breakfast, set herself on fire, died, and the fire was still raging by the time the husband came back. He didn't even flinch at the fire, walked straight past the urn and started playing games on the pc... When the fire started though, I…
I've had 2 girls since I've been playing. All the rest have been boys and I've lost count how many I've had. I mean, baby boys are adorable, don't get me wrong, but I always get disappointed when it's yet another boy. My newest family had their baby yesterday... another boy lol.
Yeah I noticed this too. It's still a book so ought to be counted as one. And yeah, the Sims never finish most things, it's so frustrating, especially when they're hungry, you make them eat and they stop eating and do something else.
