I looked at the "store" and didn't see much if anything I had to have. I couldn't even tell if the "new" hairstyles were actually new or not. If I want cool new CC for my game, I won't be going to EAxis for  it... what a scam.

Well I must like it too... I haven't played anything else since I got this. The new default skin I picked up helped tremendously. Why on earth EA put so much effort into high-rez, changeable sim meshes yet failed to provide skins that would show off the subtlety, is beyond me.

Its buggy... in fact very buggy. Yet there's a lot to discover and enjoy. I love the career nuances, such as being "on-call" as a Doctor, or "questioning" people as a Cop. The seamless neighborhood is very cool and looks great. I can't wait for more CC to come out Smiley

Bug or no, I was completely creeped out when I returned to "my" house ( I created me in the game thinking 'what if?' ) and found I was still un-employed ( I was curious to see what job the AI would give me ), and had a pudgy teenager clone of myself. I was so creeped out I immediately evicted the family and deleted the Sims *shudder*.

The reality seems to be that "story progression" is at best an illusion, and not a good one. I haven't really seen non-controlled Sims get married or progress in their careers, skills ore much else. They do seem to horde their salaries but aren't paying bills. The Maxis townies seem to do better, but tend to stay in their houses as opposed to moving out on their own, and just clone themselves. Aging naturally doesn't seem to happen either. Leaving a Sim on the brink of a birthday, they still hadn't aged after a week of playing another lot. And the Seniors just live on and on and on. At first they seemed to die off nicely, but as time went on they just didn't anymore. I'm wondering if neighborhood aging isn't somehow dependant on birthdays within your active household. Who knows.

I really hope its broken. I'd really like to have non-controlled households that grow and progress on their own in at least a somewhat realistic manner. I've been so impressed with the new A.I. in TS3 and I want this feature to work well. I don't even mind gay couples having babies with the parents genetics, at least then you'd have some control over what your simis looked like. But as it stands, "story progression" is severely under-developed and the illusion of it is far too obvious... and the asexual cloning is just creepy.
