Trees becoming completely invisible if I zoom in any closer than low orbit is pretty damn annoying. Is there any place in options where I could tweak it?
[QUOTE=Frisk;38508973]The pre-made festival grounds have hot dog carts, foot eating contest tables, greeting card booths, and more. How come I can't see any of these when I'm building my own park?[/QUOTE] It might be the same as the hotdog van which only appears on pre-made lots, or they might be in that part of Build Mode where the town stuff is, forgot what it's called

So it was a full moon tonight and all these zombies showed up. One of them placed down a stereo and they proceeded to have a zombie dance party on my lawn. [IMG]http://i.imgur.com/XsqoJ.jpg[/IMG] [IMG]http://i.imgur.com/Hly4F.jpg[/IMG] [IMG]http://i.imgur.com/rxiJK.jpg[/IMG]
[img]https://dl.dropbox.com/u/3536420/ProbeCherry.png[/img] Any reason why this is showing the option to probe? This sim doesn't have any alien blood and it only shows up on Cherry. Whats going on?
Single target probe fetish? In all honesty, I have no idea. I'd chalk it up to 'EA strikes again'.

Ok guys, I just noticed something weird. My sim, when talking to somebody who is labeled as a Romantic Interest, has a bizarre option under the Romantic category. The option is "Confess to watching you while you sleep". Anybody know when this was added in?

How is that a romantic thing to say to someone? This is the reaction I've gotten every time I've tried it. [img_thumb]http://i.imgur.com/wobxp.jpg[/img_thumb] I think that's an indication that she's not into me anymore

I want to play a game where I keep playing until I get Great-Great-Great Children. See all the generations and look back at the first character I made
Will the 50% off amazon sale thing work in the UK if I use a US billing address? I've done it before for purely amazon-based downloads (Rather than presumably codes for origin?) and it worked fine. But Origin. Meanwhile I looked for the cheapest Showtime: [img]http://i.imgur.com/3uRwy.png[/img] Good grief. Also the amazon product keys do work on Origin in the UK. I hope Bill Innes of Bill Inn Street, Chicago likes EA marketing.
apparently I'm the hustler of town. every other sim in this town keeps calling me and asking me on dates, and I already created a hot sim for my sim to fuck on occasion, and I don't want to cheat on her! :( also, when does a sim get the option to engage or something? It's never giving me the option.
My happily married sim accidentally accepted a date with some random chick in town, so he had is Alien daughter drop a meteor on her to keep things on the down-low.
Which expansions are worth getting?
Depends on how you like to play the game. Late Night, Ambitions, Generations, and Seasons are the ones I enjoyed most. I'd say, if you can find Showtime and World Adventures on sale, then definitely get them. They're alright, but not worth full price. I haven't gotten Pets yet, so I can't comment on that. And if the Supernatural stuff is your thing, then snag that one as well.

I love how you can "Try For Baby" at the Theater even when your sim is only Best Friends with the other sim. Using this amazing leniency of the normal rules of sim relationships, Zippers has impregnated like 7 women with his horrifying clown genes. Then he just sort of stops talking to them and moves on to another lady because he is the most [I]virile clown alive.[/I] [t]http://i.imgur.com/a66JT.jpg[/t] Just look at this stud. Wouldn't you like [I]his [/I]amazing harlequin genitalia in your vagina, ladies? Especially backstage at a theater?
Hot tubs can also speed things up a lot
I made out with my date in.the hot tub and the game crashed. :(
Your love for each other was way too intense for your computer to process.
[QUOTE=redBadger;38532400]also, when does a sim get the option to engage or something?

I usually don't look for it until I've maxed the relationship score.
That's it, my guy is mentally deficient. His ladyfriend is VERY OBVIOUSLY PREGGO and he still can't figure out that it is his, especially since he autonomously calls other ladies.

So I got The Sims 3 + Pets today, ill be putting the key on origin later so i can finally make my own towns and what not. I cant believe i had to re-buy TS3 just for the world creator. Also, Pets is pretty much the first expansion i got now unless any of you count the first two stuff packs.
[QUOTE=redBadger;38546145]Still not showing up.

That actually happened in The Sims 2 for me once. With University it happened more, and made me sad the 'college crushes' wouldn't grow up, they'd be perpetually stuck as teenagers.
