Late Night: First Impressions.
I will edit this post as I play!
Firstly, just as I was going to play, my boss called and asked if I could work today. And I said no .__. I'm now guilt-driven, but I have a game to play! So on with it!
The New Loading screen
My first words were "Omg! Omg... I am so turned on right now." for real. Boyfriend raised an eyebrow at me for it, too.
It's really snazzy and hot looking. If it were a guy, I'd be all over it.
more here, here, here, here and here. IT MOVES. Really, I was blown away and it's just a freaking loading screen.
CAS
I am LOVING that there is a ton of new clothes for the fellas!
Two pairs of jeans, 6 pairs of shoes, 5 tops and one full outfit. Also some hair and 2 new types of facial hair! Sweet!
New traits! Only two of them from what I saw(I did no research before I bought this game xD).. this and Shy.
New LTWs. But also!!!!
If you don;t like your choices.. you can now..
Choose from ALL LTWs! That's hot. I really like that!
Hip hop! Still no rock though. Fuckers.
Astrological signs! Ooooo!
Oh and thee-or-four new tattoos. There's one of them on his back.
For women,
A bunch of VERY cute hairstyles IMHO, 11 new tops, 3 skirts, 2 dresses and 9, count them NINE pairs of shoes. Wow.
The shoes in the pic are not new btw, I took the picture before I checked out shoes, cause I guess I'm not a shoe person and I end up giving everyone sneakers.
BTW. This is all in EVERYDAY. I didn't really check other categories as much.
Oh and men got a pair of shades/sunglasses and a wristband thing and women got some necklaces/chokers and a pair of new sunglasses too(the big ones you've probably seen in trailers)
And thus I created Meadow Song (IT'S MEADOW CHIMEREE, YA'LL!)
Do you nkow how weird it is not to have my defaults in the game xD I removed ALL of my downloads before this. So I will know any glitches I get are non-cc-related, even though I'm pretty sure default skins + hairs and clothes won't do much damage.
And Tygo Wilde!
Oh and I did not make Bridgeport, they're in Sunset Valley here.
Yay! Off to check out the buy/build mode!
Buy/Build
You can CREATE fountains, which is sweet I guess, for community lots or mansions. I didn't check the tool out, though for now.
Also what used t be called stages in The Sims 2 are back and they're lower than the foundations, but still fabulous. Can't wait to make some fancy rooms with those!
Half-walls have a tiny corner problem. Really, EA.. you should have seen this coming and fix it.
Loving. LOVING the new kitchen set!
A bubbalicious bubble bar! I have no idea what this is xD but I can't wait to try it out!
Darts are back!
Here's a darts if you want to look rich.
AH! I thought they only made a keyboard version but there's also a grand piano! :D:D:D the bass, keyboard and drums are(much like the guitar) portable, but the grand piano is not.
I made this out of the small lame trailer. The dark brown area in the living room is a dance floor. You can't out anything on it. It is for DANCING ONLY.
There's a new wall-mounted flat tv, that is very small, so I put it in the kitchen xD so when the woman is making a sandwich, she can watch tv :D
Now off to have dinner. Then I'm putting in my default skins :P and playing the game :D
Whooh! I played some last night and then went to sleep+work, so I'm adding more pictures now :D:D
Ahw she dropped it xD
YEAH!
xD Her first drink was absolutely disgusting. So was her second.. and third.
Meanwhile, Tygo check out the new keyboard!
See the tv I put up on the wall :D
Meadow: This one's alright.
Then why are there green fumes emitting from it?
JAM SESSION.
Okay, so you can have jam sessions(alone or with others) and you can still play for tips. Do both count towards the band stuff or what? I'm so confused about the band deal.
Tygo: I say we start a band together! A one-household-band!
Their band is called My Favourite Band. Because I'm original like that :P
Dig the end-tables?
Bold move, EAxis.
Party drinks!
This is also where I decided to customize her outfit a little. And I put in all my custom patterns +Twallan's mods(cause they're updated) and my defaults!
BAAAAD.
Meadow: Some party drink this is!
Meadow: Omg, he's actually pretty good!
I should mention Tygo's LTW is One Man Band, meaning he wants to master the guitar, drums, keyboards and bass.. I think.. I think that was it.
Meadow wants to master mixology and own a bar.
Meadow is adorable :D
Yeah...
Meadow: Caught it!
Nice.
Still no good, though xD
Upgraded the house.
I don't know why, but I dig this.
Aww...
I was testing if the modular seats have custom interactions, like in The Sims 2.. no dice!
AUTONOMOUS BAKE SALE!
I sent them to the park nearly every day for a jam session. They got like ONE call for a gig in two and a half weeks. So if you want to do a band in your legacy.. prepare to wait around a lot.
They both got one star right away almost, but I haven't been able to get it much higher than that. Becoming famous is tough!
After some skill points she was able to make skill gain drinks, which when drunk give the sim a moodlet for 4 hours that helps them skill faster. Handy!
Yeah, so the hot tub is totally awesome.
More jamming/playing for tips! I still don't know which is better for the band thing. I need to do my research.
Meadow: OMG!
Meadow: It's that guy!
The following images are disturbing.
Tygo bought drinks from the bar and choose to give one to Bebe. Bebe was getting food at the time, but put her plate down to accept the drink.
Tygo: I just got you this, lovely lady.
Bebe: A mystery drink with a question mark in it?
Bebe: Did you just slip me a roofie?! >:(
He then continued to take Bebe's food and eat it.
Meanwhile Bebe went WILD. Like.. for real.
And Tygo watched on. Wow.
Tygo: So what's your star sign, babe?
Bebe: Omg I'm Libra just like you! We're so compatible!! :D:D
Then Ty got up on a table and danced too.
ELEVATOR FULL OF SIMS! :D:D:D
Meadow: Oh oh, I LOVE THIS PLACE.
Apparently I failed to take more pictures of that. It was the vampire lounge(I put it on the big empty lot where legacies are usually started in SV) but I saw no vampires.
Ty obviously thinks he's the next best thing.
I'll follow you until you love me! Papa-paparazzi!
The bubble bar?
Call it what you want, it's a huge bong. But it's not bong-shaped like in TS2 any more xD
Moonlighting as a mixologist. No idea if I'm spelling it right.
She liked it :D:D and she's the original mixologist.
Holy fuuuuuuuuuuuu~~~
Oh game.. you know just what makes me happy xD
Ty is not shy, in fact he has star quality, so he can go skinny dipping, unlike Meadow.
Also, you can see the muscle definition I played with when I created him xD I might have turned it up a bit too much. I didn't want to make him look like he works out like every day of the week.. but oh well :D:D
Awesome lighting is awesome.
Btw, Tygo's prototype is Seona's grandpa Sylvester. I only changed his traits and clothes + name. It's so odd for me to play him straight xD cause he's originally gay. It weirds me out at times watching him kiss Meadow.
Oh man. LIKE HERE FOR EXAMPLE.
xD
Btw, he cheated and the word got out xD and he was publicly disgraced as you can see.
Make up your mind!
Oh and you get a cute OOOOooooo BUBBLES moodlet from the tub xD
I did both. I made them try for baby, while touring city hall :P and then Meadow broke it off with him.
The word got out that Meadow woohooed in public! DISGRACE!!!
And then she met Jared Frio.
I wonder how Jared feels about his girlfriend living with her ex-boyfriend, with whom she is having a baby.
Ty was invited to a party at her BFF Robbie's place! YEAH, HE WAS INVITED TO A PARTY AT SOMEONE'S PLACE AND I GOT TO GO THERE AND CONTROL HIM. That's neat, EA, thanks :D
No idea if that's a celebrity thing, or if it was because they're friends, but I love it.
MEANWHILE..
Dustin: Hey isn't your girlfriend in the hospital having your kid?
Tygo: EX-girlfriend.
I can't really say that he COULD care less. He's a star, baby.
His son Dante was born. Boyfriend named him. I like that name. I like it A LOT.
Also, apparently, Green-eyed parent + Brown-eyed parent = blue-eyed baby xD I don;t mind when the eye colours mix a LITTLE but this is silly.
Engagement ensues.
FYI, I love her shoes!!
Yeah.
Abd then I forgot to photograph the make over I gave him.
x3
Meadow's not sure how to feel about this.
Tygo kicked her out of the band and started one with Bebe. So Meadow started her own.. with Jared. SHE HAS NO OTHER FRIENDS, OKAY?
And that's all the pictures I have .____. not much Late Nightey info, because I'm lame..
BUT I LOVE IT. This is such an awesome awesome pack.
