How do you feel about FREE TIME?
Tomkat:
I like freetime...its an interesting piece of fluff...
Im not totally against it... i didnt hold much hope for it at first, but its better than i thought.
i just get a little annoyed with some of the behaviors -like the people that keep phoning you...? Im also one of those that just dont care enough whether sims become members of hobby clubs..
but its something nice to follow up on when you get bored playing.. just fill up some hobby bars.
IMO though badge skilling takes to long... I had a sim sitting and sewing for 2 days straight, and he still can only make those oven mits. so i gave up on that.
i like the new way of writing novels, and that you can actually read them afterwards, and the fact that there are movies on tv now.
but with both: they could have made it custom content compatible... im sure that wouldnt have killed EA. Now i have to replace all my nice bookshelves and tvs with EA made ones to get the new options... damn.
Id also have liked the DIY cars to look a bit better after its done...and maybe had an option of a dad and kid working on the engine together or something?
ah well...i guess i am just nitpicking..
but like i said. its a nice add to have.

I am with you Tomkat. The badge skilling takes too long for pottery, sewing. It is quicker to get the 1st badge in fishing and gardening. I did get a sim to sew curtins, and laughed at the choices. What came up? The single and double expensive maxis curtins.
I wish that the tinkering could go on with the DIY cars, like tinker with the engines and break them, fix them after the building has been complete. I have sim fathers and sons going to a lot I built to tinker on a car for a community Auto Body shop. I do wish they could tinker together on the engine, that is the most interesting part for me.
All and all I still enjoy the EP, the toddlers are more fun for me. I make them sing nursery rhymes so much, so I can see the thumbsuck, they are just about full in charisma when they become children. LOL :D

some things I like about it, same for all the ep's {though pets should have been part of the base game}, my biggest complaint with freetime is that every time I start to do almost anything the phone rings and someone wants to tell me about this new activity! um, I have to stop attempting the activity to answer the phone and if it is a group activity the group has broken up by the time i get back from the phone
I am also not too sure I like the game picking the "favorite" hobby for me either, I am just glad my self sim got one that I don't hate, like sports...
those are two things I would like to see a hack for. I am getting to where I hate phones in the sims almost as much as I hate them in real life. I start to play pool, the phone rings, I start to paint something, the phone rings, I start to dance, the phone rings..... always something like we at club bla see you are doing XX hobby, well I say GET YOUR CAMERAS OUTA MY HOUSE!!!!!! QUIT SPYING ON ME!!!! lol who wants to join a club that uses paparazzi and CIA techniques to spy on me, thx to sim-bush and the sim-patriot act our sims are now wired up to be spyed on!!! AAAAHHHH!H!!!! RUN AWAY! and drive my sim-car to my sim-dentist for my sim-root canal {I've got news for you, putting 'sim' in front of everything dosen't make it hurt any less!}
I do really like the computer from mr. humble (when I have a place to put it, tyvm prebuilt family designers) or is THAT how they are spying on me? DAMN YOU MR HUMBLE! now I want to kill him too! lol I need to work on my tinkering so i can fix that system! the music dosen't bother me because I have never heard it, i keep the music off in almost every game I play, so annoying {thx lewis, I'll have to see if I can find it in that list}
speaking of annoying music, anyone know a way to auto-bypass all that noise from the intro stuff? its so loud and i am usually starting up the game when people are sleeping.
and seasons, just wonderful, now my sims can sit in the hot tub in their basement and spontaneously cumbust! great addition to the game, catching fire while sitting in water, good planning. :blob6: maybe if they wanted to add sim-body temp, they should have added sim-central heat and air!
but its still alot better than what I have heard about sims3 if I wanted to play the entire neighborhood at one time I would play sim city
a change I would like to see is to be able to build underground, and I dont mean like a basement that is poking its head above ground, but more like a bomb shelter, where you have earth above your head, or underground tunnels kind of thing. thats something I have been trying to do since ts1 all those years ago, kinda got close once, but not really... {foundation bridge over top of an basement level walkway} but it was a neat house lol
