potted babies, what is this even?

Okay, so the plantsims in TS3 are pretty weird. Apparently they can turn themselves into a stick with leaves which is funny to me because I used to play WoW. That skill must come in handy for PIs

Turning into a stick with leaves would be indeed the perfect disguise for a PI. Those bushes they are holding up to disguise themselves are a parody, at best. :D
I guess I'm the odd gal out because I don't think the plant baby is creepy at all. I just don't imagine it as a normal baby but a different lifeform. Also, I'm a 'Legend of Zelda' fan and they remind me a bit of the Deku Shrubs which I always found cute, despite them spitting nuts when threatened. :)
Relating to your question: I would prefer the baby in a pot, but like you I think the hydrophonic one is a bit too bland. When you want to use a Maxis match pot you could perhaps take the colorful cactus pots from Freetime. I, myself, especially like the half barrel pots from the Sims3 Pets expansion, but then, I'm the odd ball. :)

The FT cactus is exactly the pot I'm going for! We must be secretly psychic. I'll have to check out the pets pot, I can't recall which it is off the top of my head now.

Aww, deku shrubs! I'm a huge Zelda fan myself. I used to play it on the old Nintendo NES when I was in highschool and I bought a gameboy just so I could play the Minish Cap.

Good ol' Nintendo NES, I still have one standing around somewhere.
I've just bought a Nintendo 3DS just to play 'Ocarina of Time 3D' and I really hope they finally make up their mind to release 'Majora's Mask' as well. It's so comfortable to play in bed rather than in front of a TV. :)

It is, isn't it! I love having it on flights or trains when I'm traveling, even if people look at me a bit strangely because I'm 25. :D

I bought the gameboy mini *just* before the DS came out which was unfortunate, but that was years ago so I can probably get one now without feeling too silly. How is the 3DS?

[misty_fluff]

I think it's mostly worth its money. It has a lot of features like an inbuilt camera and an Internet browser (though I'm not taking advantage of this) and the screen is big enough to not overstrain my eyes. However, I largely play the game in 2D mode instead of tuning in on the 3D effects as the depths of the 3-D images are causing me dizziness after a certain amount of time.

Edit: 25, pssh. Add 20 years to that and you know how strangely people can look. :D

I'm not a big fan of 3D myself so I'm glad to hear you can turn it off. Looks like I know what's next on my to-buy list. I wish there were more adults playing handhelds on public transports! It sounds pretty hardcore to me. <3
