  • At this point I have no intention to move on to The Sims4 the main reason being that I feel TS3 has only now, started to feel like where I had finally gotten in TS2 with all the fantastic things that the Sims could do and have gameplay wise and I am not looking forward to going back to a base game and starting over. I made…
  • Yeah, I am not sure my simpoint account could stand the strain of weekly releases... although it would try to do its best!
  • Using a mod (or for that matter and cc) comes down to a very subjective choice. That subjectivity is what drives your decision to use them. Are you looking to expand the game beyond what Maxis coded into it? Are you doing it for a easy way to use 'cheats' rather then the built in ones? Are you trying to cope with bugs or…
  • I would like to see another big city too. BP is really the only one we have while we have had several other suburban are rural worlds. And for anyone without that ep - there are no urban expanses with skyscrapers to be had. Maybe even a building or two that would work wth the base game as 'just a skyscraper' but be usable…
  • I expect it to be much like what happen with TS2 which was basically this: The TS2 site and 'store' and other releases for TS2 overlapped iwth the release of TS2 and continue up until there was no longer a big enough demand and/or Maxis decided not to support TS2 any longer (not exactly sure what was the final cause of…
  • This is a hard one to recommend except to say I have found the bar and floor used so often in my game I guess it made it worth it, at least at the early bird price. The public shower has come in handy but definitely is not something I would have bought this venue for alone. I guess that it is the PC items that your most…
  • This is a beautiful home. Although I don't like to play large homes for the most part this one is extraordinary and I have moved my sims in. I love the tall ceilings and interior decorating is superb. I have not had to change one single thing. This is not just a lot, its a work of art.
  • So many of these things would require added gameplay that as yet. is not in the game that it would be something to bring up in the general area for inclusion in an EP to get that gameplay added. In other cases the gameplay is there - added through EP's but the store is limited to only making those things that can be used…
  • I did not get a message like that. There is the usual terms and condition that have always been around but not a new one. I have not seen any announcement of any new terms or conditions either with the store or buying simpoints in a while - an usually any new terms and conditions end up popping up with simpoints as well as…
  • While 'not wasting' time on the 'not doable' people do need to hear that its probably not a 'store' doable except in a limited and therefore disappointing way and that's what people will be trying to tell you. Asking people not to bring that up just because you want it to happen isn't very realistic. You don't need a 'pet'…
  • I got it and now in use I am not as sure about it as I was when I saw the pictures. I have been furnishing a sort of rustic mountain resort style place slowly but surely with whats already available and we have a good number of things that were not just in EP/SPs but from the store that have fit, from fairy tales, to…
  • I always love it when the OP posts about not being interested in a release - ep/sp/store and then watch the majority of posts be about trying to convince them to get it and/or spend time pointing out to them about being wrong for not being interested. The OP was interested in whether there were others that felt as she did,…
  • You probably are aware but in case your not Origin main page pricing can be a bit confusing depending on how your set up in the Origin store. The main pricing structure is for the US, so many times if you just go there from the main US/English pages you get the US pricing and in the US the price is $39.00 - that is US…
  • Right now we have the Bistro that allows us to set menus and be served by a sim - and with ITF we will have that with plumbots that are generated to serve - but will we be able to also generate the menus and 'control' the restaurant like we would a business and we can the Bistro? If that is the case hopefully some of the…
  • The only way I have been able to keep track is to make sure I set 'prices' individually. If you pick 5 items to sell and they all have different prices and you mark them us 100% you can get any idea of what is selling buy the amount you make - it takes some math to start with and you can't ever be exactly (at least with my…
  • It does look pretty, from what I have seen so far but that is only just a few pieces - some of what is in that room, of course, id decor from other sets as normal filler - as to whether it becomes a must have will have to wait until I see whats in the rest of the set. Someone else posted that they were finding it hard to…
  • There are not two different world. When you buy the "Gold version" its the same world but you get the Toy Shp venue and the items with it in addition in the download. Then you have to go to the community bin and place the toy shop venue. The difference between gold and standard is that Toyshop and its items. The worlds are…
  • This was the down side that many commented on when gurusmitty told us that they had made the decision to not stick the clerks with a 'specific' uniform that might end looking out of price depending on the the idea you happen to come up with for a business. This is really a good idea for the most part because 'uniform'…
  • They pay the price you set over the catalog price, You can set the price to be 25%, 50%, 100%, 1505 or 200% over what the item is listed in the catalog for. If your sim owns the store they make the % over ;cost (what it costs in the catalog) as their profit. For example, if you are selling a item that is listed in the buy…
  • To start a shop: Build a community build on a lot designated "Hangout" Place the item holders (pedestal, shelf, rugs, parking lots) where you want them and place the items you want to sell on them. Remember, if a rug touches a wall everything on the wall over that rug will be for sale, including light fixtures, windows…
  • The items placed on the Savvy Sellers' item holders (shelf, rugs, pedestal, parking space) you should think of as 'floor stock' or the demo items. Those are not directly picked up and sold to the Sim, but a 'copy' is sold to them. if you take your Sim into store they do not pick the item up and carry it to the register but…
  • Midnight Hallow. The reason I say this is that its not just a world, but essentially an EP. If you have been wanting "Open for Business" then here is your chance. I doubt that we will see that as an EP coming in the future and if you want you Sims to go into business for themselves, this is the World you want to get. The…
  • You sure can. To open up a business you need the items that come with the Savyvy Seller PC that is included in the Standard Edition of MH, along with the other MH items. If you look under the item tab youon the MH page you will see all the items that come with the set (the ones that are gold version only are marked) and…
  • I did this to get a good look at the detail of the rabbit-holes and residential and community lots construction (which is amazing) but a a warning if you do then any lighted areas such as inside residential and commercial areas will be too bright and/washed out as will your sims be so its not really an answer (plus it alos…
  • I had the same issue, and actually still do as I decided to try playing it a bit but it is just too dark for me. And I knew it was going to be but got it anyway... because this time what comes with the 'map' is worth the simpoints especially with the venue. Consider it this - its really 'Open for Business' without being an…
  • Don't feel bad I stared at the 'sorry' part of the post for 10 mins before I saw a speck of dirt under it and zoomed the page ;)
  • Make sure that the lot is installing to the library folder. Any lot added get placed in the library folder, it does not follow the same plab as items do for their install. There is a bug that will prevent lots from being properly installed in the library - this has happened on and off for a long time so most know the…
  • I found them in the build mode/community objects and in buydebug for use on residential properties. The statue is in decor/statues as well as community objects and buydebug. Remember to get to buydebug you need to turn testingcheatesenabled true first (control-alt-c and type that in the cheat box) and then another…
  • Is the Gold version worth it for the addition (approximately) 1500 simpoints more? In my opinion, its a definite yes this time. Not only is there a toy maker, with a incredible number of NEW toys in it - it does not just pop out toys already in the game. Those toys alone add up to more 'venue' items (I believe) then we…
  • I normally don't play created families, mostly because the back-story was was based on TS2 - where I played few if any created families or the back-story did not interest me enough to give them a try even if I had to start them over in different careers etc, and I usually like to be the one to 'shape' my sim. That said,…
