EA putting out patches that have bugs in them.

Diddo x30000

I think there is not enough hairstyles to choose from...that's the major complaint I have.

For the basegame, i am pretty satisfied. But with expansion packs and CC, i am sure there will be plenty soon :D

my sims keep having GIRLS!!!! i've only had ONE boy during this whole entire time since june 2nd! 8 GIRLS!! Ugggh! i'm really getting tired of these girls, is it so much to ask for a few boys?

Make your pregnant sim eat apples, that'll give you some boys.

thanks. i'll try it out

EDIT: Finally! a boy! my dear son had my first grandson today! i'm so happy! my sim's son (Julius), his wife didn't eat an apple during her pregnancies though. they ended up with a boy. second time a girl.


EDIT again (lol): *sighs* i tried the apple thing with my sims thats pregnant, she is the one thats been having all these girls. it didn't work it seems, my sim ended up with another girl...and then another one. they were twins i'm conivinced she can't have boys at all, or maybe it's her husband's fault, i don't know. all i see is they're on their 6th child and no boy in sight.

Got a few:

I was surprised by the amount of points needed to purchase things in the store
The graphics- I don't like the hair- it doesn't move and it looks fake; like a wig just plonked on the sim!
My sims icons keep changing from how the are now- elder- to toddler!

I know it's a base game so wasn't expecting LOADS of things, but I thought since it's a new game it would be different from The Sims 1 & 2 in terms of gameplay, but it just seems to be the same (apart from the fantastic neighbourhood and having fat sims!).

If your sim doesn't kiss the father during pregnancy she's more likely to have a girl. Also, you need to have at least 3 apples, not just one, and meals with apples in them don't count. 3 watermelons will make you have a girl, so maybe that's the problem.

I'm disappointed at no half-walls. In TS2, I often used them to form the border of my kitchen.

Same here, no i have to use windows instead of half walls.

Left-clicking vs. right-clicking wishes. In TS2, you right-clicked a want to lock it, but it's the opposite in TS3 and I keep discarding wishes I want to save. Why make it the opposite?

I know, I've done that quite a few times too. I wish they hadn't changed it but I'm getting the hang of it now.

I think the traits should be more advanced ala my suggestion post under the traits thread

That is why everyone is screaming for the Neighborhood Tool.
Yeah, everyone says go back to The Sims 2 then, But they did take a step back with the Neighborhoods with that.

I guess my Complaints are as Listed.

The open neighborhood is nice, but it feels like it's missing Aspects.
The First EP doesn't seem appealing, It's just a Vacation Rehash.
The Visa Level aspect of the New EP sounds like it will be annoying, Having to constantly work it up doing adventures just to live in the new areas.

I miss the Baby/Toddler Aspects that were Cute from Sims 2.
I wish Patterns would load up faster, And the fact you have to wait for it to drop to the bottom to your current Pattern is annoying as well.
I think they could have done a better job with the traits, Yeah they combined a few that felt similar. But I think they should have left it the other way. As I have stated in other threads. Worrywart and Neurotic are two Different Things.
[/rant]

Its a step back to, in the end, take a huge step forward. Its like, downgrading for an upgrade.

They Sacrificed movable lots for us to make it so that we can make out own neighborhoods in the future.

Here's my complaint, I have Sims 3 on a laptop...
Yeah, all I can really do is CAS.

Awh man :(

Thats more of a complaint about your computer though

EA giving us $10 in free sim points... while raising the price of EPs by $10
