  • Ability to put clothes of any style on any sim (age-permitting) swings it for me. I also appreciate the ability to filter by clothing type which wasn't present in TS3.
  • Thanks. I know they are different mods, but everything I've read strongly implies that they have very similar functionality. On that basis I figured it was a possibility that there was a delete object cheat built in somewhere. I ended up just deleting and using the 'money' cheat to remove the income, so no mod needed in…
  • Thank you so much; these are spot on. You’ve given me enough that I have an idea of what I’m looking at and somewhere to start. Very much appreciated.
  • Feel free to ignore! I have just tried it on my friend’s Mac and it runs poorly. PC it is!
  • If I can get a laptop that will run it well for my budget then I’d prefer a laptop for the sake of convenience. If that’s not possible, I’d rather get a desktop that runs it well than have to suffer a laptop that runs poorly. Preference would be good system for less money, but that depends on how big a difference a bit…
  • I’ve been doing a bit of googling. Does this look decent? https://www.argos.co.uk/product/8440710?rec=PDP%5B8101963%5D:bottomSlider:P1:OHAT:alternative:8440710:a5VdBRBWGmmmTzahqaf8
  • Thank you both for your replies! I’m in the UK and looking ideally to spend no more than £800, but I don’t know if that’s possible or not! I have a monitor so if I get a desktop it would be just the system I need.
  • I love the multitasking, although I keep forgetting that I can use it! And the simplified build mode is brilliant for someone like me, who was always rubbish at building in TS3.
  • Click on the phone and go to 'household'. There should be an option marked 'Take Family Leave'. You'll only get a day, and you have to apply again if you want another day (so you can decide how much you actually want).
  • Ah, that's good to know. Thanks for the help - it seemed glitchy, but as I've only just started playing I couldn't be sure.
  • I realise this is a controversial topic and I'm probably going to regret stepping in, but I really disagree with this. Just because something makes some people uncomfortable, doesn't mean it should be removed from view. I'm sure there are countries where some people would be offended by seeing a black person in a…
  • I'd prefer an open neighbourhood. Back in TS2 I barely ever sent my sims out of their homes because the loading screens were so awful and because I had to have sims sat at home doing nothing. Then my first sim would come home exhausted from being out all day but it'd be the morning. Open neighbourhood was definitely a…
  • I agree with a lot of the things on here. Things to bring back: Serving meals to the household (where everyone sits down and the plates are handed to them) - it feels like by the time one sim takes a plate and sits down, the previous sim has almost finished eating! 'Hang Out' interaction that came with University - this…
  • Just to add to the success stories, I just got TL from a live chat assistant. The first person I spoke to completely ignored my comment that some people have received "a stuff pack or sims points" and kept saying he couldn't give out sims points. He offered me a 20% off voucher to use in the Origin Store - this made me…
  • Same here - just got my email from Play.com and I'm absolutely furious! Not only could I have ordered from Game for less, but I would also have got reward points and Game is my preferred store for customer service etc. I absolutely couldn't believe it when I saw what the extra content was - and at the same time, they put…
  • Carlymichelle, I don't think that's the problem - it was happening before I got Pets, and I got a medium-high score on CanYouRunIt for Pets. Shadowme, thanks very much for the link. I remember the wonderful improvement after I downloaded Overwatch. I'll try Master Controller and see if this has the same effect this time!
  • Hi DaPrez, Thanks very much for replying! I'm sorry for not replying earlier, but I only just realised someone had responded. Here is my Dxdiag: System InformationTime of this report: 10/30/2011, 13:01:01 Machine name: CAITLIN-PC Operating System: Windows 7 Ultimate 64-bit (6.1, Build 7600) (7600.win7_gdr.110622-1503)…
  • Yay, postman has arrived! Good luck to everyone else; hope you get your games today :D I'm off for a couple of hours playing!
  • No, and I also ordered from Play.com. Postman hasn't been yet, so I'm keeping my fingers very firmly crossed!
  • No game (play.com) :( I got so excited when I got the dispatch email on Monday, and Amazon has ruined me by giving huge delivery estimtes - when I see '3-5 days' my brain reads it as 'tomorrow or the day after'! I also play with mods, but only Twallan's and he's already updated all but woohooer and story progression. I'm…
  • It's their mistake, but you should still send them back - at their expense, of course. I don't know what the legal situation is in the US, but I'd guess that you'd be in trouble if you didn't at least call them to let them know about the mistake.
  • I'm very annoyed that I had to order through Play.com for the LE, especially because of their rubbish history of sending things out! But I've thought of a silver lining. By the time my game arrives, hopefully all my mods will be updated and ready to install. :D
  • I'm getting the LE. In the end, I gave in and ordered from play.com despite my dislike for the company - my desire for extra objects won out in the end! ADLER900, if you're in the UK you won't get the LE from Game even if you pre-ordered. EA gave exclusive rights for the LE to play.com, so you'll have to pre-order from…
  • I think he/she means a world that has a country-side farm feel. I would suggest Riverview, or wait and see what Appaloosa Plains is like. If you don't want to do that, go over to the 'Creative Corner' part of the forum. They have lists of created worlds, as well as requests for worlds (I think) so you're far more likely to…
  • I always start a new game for each EP, using everything that's new (clothes, hair, traits) when I create my sim. I like to try out all the new gameplay. I play for a few weeks, get bored, and fairly quickly go back to Sunset Valley with a new simself or legacy! @Cyron - Wow, 232 households! There's no way I could juggle…
  • BabyCakes, I just followed that link and it took me to the standard Origin site. There's nothing on the Pets page about the deal, either. Is this only for US customers?
  • No, I think the pet shop will be staffed by an NPC like the WA shops and consignment shop. What with all the stress over the LE, I can't imagine how much worse it would have been if EA were cutting a whole career out of the standard edition! :lol: I agree, really. It would have been nice to have a new career (I was…
  • Day 1: Yes, I'm buying Pets. It wasn't on my top picks from TS2 EPs (would have preferred Uni, Seasons or OFB!) but I've never failed to buy an EP for TS3 yet so I wasn't going to start now! Also, TS2 Pets made my game unbelievably laggy and slow on my old computer, so I never really got a chance to experience it. Day 2: I…
  • I didn't know about this; I'm really pleased to hear we're getting so many new objects and clothes! :D Personally, the only thing I really think we're missing is an animal-related career, but I can cope without that if I must.
  • Personally, I really miss the variety of deaths and unexpected events in Sims 2. Watching that video of 13 ways to die really made me chuckle. For me, The Sims franchise always had a vein of gleeful dark humour running through it that was still cartoonish - as someone else said, the cowplant would eat people and then its…
