Has anyone even noticed this thing trying to connect online? I haven't.
I got no warnings or anything. Meh. It's blocked now just in case.

Sweet wasn't expecting this for a few weeks. Just about to preorder it yesterday from Play. I got burned with Spore though so i might try it first now. I'm not liking this whole mini transaction crap, i usually sign up to The Sims Resource so i hope files can still be added without needing to upload to a market of some type

I didn't give it the chance, mate. I blocked as soon as it was installed (this IS a very early leak and the publisher IS EA after all, taking no chances)

Ya, I figure that would be the case. But it just seems like it doesn't increase anymore on the 'status' bar. In Sims 2 at least it has that life bar where u can see if they are compatible.

Or maybe this is a leak by EA done to troll people into playing a game that doesn't let you get married!

From Eurogamer; http://www.eurogamer.net/articles/the-sims-3-final-hands-on
| Quote: | | "In short: enormously promising. I just don't know if it will be enough to convert those who fill comment threads whining about the stream of add-on packs, and that's a shame. Without losing any of the construction and personalisation elements which have attracted the huge casual audience for The Sims, this is as gamer-centric as the series has ever been. Unless something goes drastically wrong in the next two weeks, I really can't see this not being the best yet." |
He mentions the twitchy preview code as well. Can't wait for the real release.

OH MY GOD
Here I was thinking 'whatever, Sims 2.5' when EA/Maxis went 'BAM! suck on these changes bitch!'
Alright, I'm just gonna come right out and say it, this game is phenominal! They've turned what was a fairly dreary but kinda neat house making/sim torturing game into something actually tangible. The whole game seems completey new and fresh. So many changes I don't even know where to begin. I've been playing for the last 4-5 hours and I've barely scratched the surface. I still can't believe this is a fucking Sims game.
First, the best thing they did was give a Style feature to...well to EVERYTHING! Gone, long gone are the days of picking stuff based on it looks, because now you have complete control over everything from patterns to colours. And not just like 2 or 3 colours either...hue/saturation/brightness are all options you can play with. About god damned time!
Then there's the new Make a Sim...prepare to spend hours fucking around with that. I was loling so hard at the hair options. Root colour? Highlights? Are you fucking kidding me? Clothing too...a fair amount to choose from, about as much as can be expected. Once you tack on that new Styles feature though, suddenly the lineup grows by the thousands. Like the way the green shirt and hoodie look, but hate the colours? Change em to whatever you want! Hell give the hoodie an army camo look and throw some skulls on the tshirt! Can't wait to see community added patterns!
Then you get to house building. All you interior designers are gonna love it. I know I do. No longer are you restricted by set wallpapers or paint patterns or anything. Once again Styles to the rescue. But that's not all! Ok we're still stuck on a grid. It sucks, I hate it. I guess it can't be helped. They did however make it smaller, and something else...you can place multiple items on end table and stuff...there's like a whole seperate placement system for tables and it really adds an organic feel to decors. New roofing system too, allows you to adjust roof height and other stuff. Much much nicer than previous sims. Say bye bye to huge freaking pyramid roofs!
Getting to the 'gameplay'...well Sims has never really had any. They've comepletely revamped the whole system though. Everything is different, from the way you choose traits, to lifelong aspirations...immediate needs....desires...so much new stuff. The needs are down to 6, Hunger, Hygiene, Bladder, Energy, Social and Fun. Easier to maintain and you get little bonus' for keeping them up (Bonus 10 to mood for eating well for example). This ties in with the new career planner, in that you get a progress bar that grow while you're at work, and depending on how happy you are at work, and how skilled you are, you could start getting raises and promotions. You get a new option window to choose how you want to behave at work. Sucking up to the boss is there, along with slacking off, or chillin by the water cooler. Lots of neat stuff. Everything is seamless to, no more loading times switching between neighbourhoods. You get a cell phone now, and going into the city to do stuff is rediculously easy now. You can do all sorts of stuff and it isn't just a 'maintain my stats in a place different from my house'. You can go to the bookstore and buy books, all kinds, and reading them can give you bonus' to social interactions. Or they can improve your skills. Or they can teach you new recipes. You can go grocery shopping, and even save your shopping list, lol. Man, I could go on and on...everything is just so different.
Trash sims all you want. Whatever, I don't care. You're missing out if you don't at least try this one. Fucks Sims 1 and 2. They're bullshit. They suck so god damned hard compared to 3 it isn't even funny. I still can't believe what I just played...god damn...
i can has computar?!

I completely agree with you. I havent ever got into the Sims. Tried them all... but this one is definitely different and more fun. Very fun in fact. I think i am going to purchase this one. I think anyone who didn't care for any of the other Sims should give this one a try. There's so much funny stuff that goes on in this one... and the new persistent world you're in really does add to it and makes it feel like an RPG to a great extent. Very surprised.

No one else has trouble with the sim maker? I was able to create 1 sim (in the 2. try) 5 other attemps to create sims tend to power my pc off....
The main game runs so far without this problem and this is the first game with such a behavior :/
