How do you feel about FREE TIME?
sarahkratos:
I love freetime it,s one of my favorites eps and worth the money-pets was by far the worst ep for me disappointing.
Baytor:
Is it one of the best EPs?
No.
Is it one of the worst EPs?
No, it's pretty much right in the middle.
Is it worth the money?
Not at the moment, but I guess it will be worth it eventually.
What are your favorite things about Free Time.
The new aspiration benefit system.
What should have Maxis done differently.
They should have left out all hobby related NPCs, phone calls and pop up messages. I'm not retarded, I can read a progress bar. Also, it would have been nice to be able to murder Mr. Humble, either by walling him in and letting him starve to death, or by setting him on fire. Sadly, he possesses the ability to magically disappear.
Are you experiencing any problems, any funny glitches.
Ironically enough, the thing I like best is also buggy as hell. Spending your benefit points on a secondary aspiration screws up your primary one, resulting in your Sims getting incorrect memories and the wrong tombstones. "Pleasure" as a secondary aspiration doesn't even work at all, since it breaks your aspiration meter. Also, the violin's tip jar leaves dead spots all over the place.
Any advice for those still on the fence?
Wait for the patch.
All in all, I think Free Time is a decent expansion, even though the new NPCs make me want to create a serial killer Sim. It's also a bit weird that keeping your Sims enthusiastic about their hobbies requires more constant effort than maxing out their work related skills. Well, I guess you could say it adds to the challenge. I really love the benefit tree concept, though, despite its bugs.

I absolutely love it!! I never had as much fun in 9 hours, than I have just had. LOL, I laughed, I awed, and felt so much pride in my self-sim's children accomplishments. There are some aggravations, like the constant phone calls, so I turned those sounds down and tried to ignore it. Maybe someone can mod that, but I can't wait for my self-sim to really learn some parenting skills, now that's she is expecting her last kid, and a knowledge/family sim. :D

Yeah, me too. That needs some serious modding.

For those of you who have sicken of seeing Rod Humble ( I had been calling him Himmel, Humble, what an ironic name.) Pescado has a fix for that here.
