• BUG: They screwed up on the outfit system. You're apparently supposed to be able to have more than one saved outfit for any given sim, but the second always overwrites the first.
• BUG: In some neighborhoods, music randomly stops forever. Apparently due to there being too many radios on in the neighborhood, taking up all the channels. This was ( Read more... )

There is indeed more disappointment. Still, it's a fun game, mostly. The thing about the transition from The Sims to The Sims 2 is that base game to base game, there was nothing but improvement. The Sims 2 added very important features nobody knew how they played without such as sim aging and spawning, and most importantly, the ability to actually ( Read more... )

Luckily, they had enough pre-release hype and already-hooked sheeple (who would buy horse manure if it had a green plumbob on it) to still get millions of people to buy their product within the first week ( Read more... )

Unfortunately, my enthusiasm has dropped a bit thanks to these buzzkills at MATY. I'm now not sure if I should get the game. The very fact that the neighborhood is fixed and unalterable almost made me not want it to begin with, but with all this crap, I just don't know. Fun screenshots, though:

The Sims 3 is scheduled for release the Tuesday after next, and don't worry about this hysteria overwhelming my journal for much longer. After I actually get something, the obsession wears off. I only want what I don't have.

I thought that Maxis had forgotten about the Roomies family, a couple of Sim women named Chris and Melissa who debuted in ( Read more... )

In just 2 weeks, The Sims 3 will be released and I should have the money to purchase it. Word has it that the game has already been leaked and is available in torrents. I might download it, but it would take two weeks for me anyway. So, again, I have not attempted to download this program via torrent at all, and these following screenshots from ( Read more... )

There are only about 20 days until The Sims 3 is released for reals! I'm betting my enthusiasm is a total turn-off, but so is everything else about me, so I might as well embrace it. Going to eat corn dogs until I throw up, dig up some deep-mined boogers, and constantly pull my pants up to my nipples, all in public!

Wow! Only 64 days until the release of The Sims 3. Let's check out how they're doing with that enhanced marketing. The Sims 3 has advertised on Facebook, Twitter, and The Sims 2 blog that The Sims 3 would be making an appearance in the CW teen drama One Tree Hill. I had no idea what that meant, but the episode of One Tree Hill is online now, so I ( Read more... )

With a little over 80 days to go until The Sims 3 is hopefully released, I am still blue-balling. At least Maxis is working with content creators. One creator, "Estatica", says she "loves the fact that you can create your own universe". Frankly, I imagine creating my own universe would not include being forced to have an immutable single ( Read more... )
