LRJNGKDNFJKRJN Don't ever get me started! My Sims 3 doesn't work, I have to update my computer (which I bought in freaking February) for it to work. And we don't have to money to do that for...a while. I want to play sooo badly. D=

Though I do have a question, how much better is Sims 3 from Sims 2? I got the game to load (though my building and floors are just black or gray silhouettes, I can't create a sim and the game goes mega slow) and I found that the sims weren't doing as I told them too and there weren't many options. o.0

I don't know... it depends what your favorite thing to do is, I guess. If you're playing the game like it's meant, having your sims live, age, work, play, and whatnot, then the Sims 3 is superior as everyday life has been advanced and is more detailed. If you just like building (which is a main thing of mine), I don't think 3 is that much better than 2, though the landscaping tools certainly are. Create-a-Sim is better, but I feel like the variety of clothes isn't as great. The game overall certainly runs better and more smoothly.
*may add more later if she thinks of anything else*
Oh! Lauren, did you install the patch? Updating the game itself may help.

I've never played the Sims before, but aside from it being a system hog and the sims sometimes taking an annoying delay between actions, I'm pretty happy with the game I find building a little frustrating but I've only touched on it a couple of times - I do plan to experiment with it more today.

Building is a little tricky for me too, but having played the previous Sims, I think this is still one of the best incarnations of the series yet

OH. The other thing that made me....really mad. In Sims 2, to move around, you just moved teh mouse to the direction you wanted to move...now you have to use arrow keys that only work when they feel like it? o.0
I just might try installing the patch. I intended to waste a lot more of my summer playing sims. XD Where do I find that?

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!! My life goal is ruinedddddddd. D; *cough* Anyway, if your game launcher is working properly, click on game updates before starting the game and see if it says your game is up to date. If you can't do that, patches can be found here: www.thesims3.com/game/patchesSide scrolling can be turned on in game settings (options > game options [the one with the gears] > edge scrolling). That was one of the first things I did upon getting the game, the arrows drove me mad too, but now I'm use to them. xD

An old lady died at one of my sims' birthday parties. It was a real downer to the celebration, but then the reaper reaped her and hang around for a bit but my sim was too slow to try and chat with him. 'Put down the cake and talk to the reaper!'
