I voted "other". I need build mode SETS!!! Sets, Sets, Sets!!! lol! Preferably expansions of the EA stuff (yes I have a EA match fettish) I'd like to see the kind of expansions that fway, tbudgett, leesester, and MaryLou did for Sims2. Then I'd like a hack to fix the (insert improper language of your choice) stairs so you can "stack" them one over the other and not need a minimum of 8 tiles to go both up and down. Oh! And one to fix the dang doors/windows so I can build 1x3 powder rooms again with out a freeking cheat. And a fix so that when you want to re-do a basement it dosen't complain about objects on the floor above it, seriously, WTF??!! is with that?! I'll stop here and not bore you with the rest of the list, but sufice to say, it's all build mode related. 

Another thing that people seem to miss is that even though there are 4 speed buttons there are onty three speeds. The 4th speed button = speed 3 untill current task is done. If you are picking the 4th button, as soon as the first task is done , you are RETURNING TO NORMAL SPEED.

Hello??? Any kind of response/answer?? It's been almost two weeks since I've posted.

Wish I could help you, but it appears M&G changes the game, I can't get a driveway to rotate. As I recall, the drive would auto-rotate back when you picked it up. You may need to delete and re-buy.

The "Show unread posts since last visit" function is not working for me. I've logged out and back in to see if that would fix it; it worked the first time, but not since then.

Lot files.

There was a request for a legacy family house on this lot on another board, and I can no longer find the post; so I'm posting it here.

Note: *The lot w/out the house is NOT by me. I don't have the name of the original creator.*

The house is not furnished/decorated at all. The windows are T$R, but can be arred! There are a few cc items included in the file. Although there is space for two driveways, they have not been placed. I made some last minute changes after I took the pics, so the packeged lot is slightly different, just changed some cc to EAxis. I'd love to see what you guys/gals do with the house.

List of cc in file:

You can also use Numenor's "unleveled walls" available here: http://www.modthesims2.com/download.php?t=59793

They require some manual game modification, or use the "Scriptorium" from here: http://www.modthesims2.com/download.php?t=192613

Just out of curiosity, why would you need 11 bedrooms if you can only have 8 sims on a lot?
Even with each sim having it's own room, that's still only a max of 8 bedrooms. If married/joined couples share, it's even fewer. Having all the unnecessary space just adds lag to your game.

Well, of course they are trying to recreate their success, after all Sims2 is based on the break-away success of Sims1! The direction I feel they are taking is they are trying to market the game to their console customer as well as the pc customer. The bulk of EA game sales is still console based, with the pc games taking a far second. All they want to do is expand the market share and get more $$$. Of course, they are also listening to all the sheeple BAA! BAA! at the official exchange forum, most of whom are either twelve, or so scared of putting any cc or mods in their game for fear of getting a virus.

From what I understand the base game was configured with 10 "slots" for expansions. It would make sense to me to use all 10 just from a point of making money; as I'm sure there will be a large number of people waiting on buying Sims3. Heck, if you got a cow that's still giving milk, why kill it?

I already know personally that I'm not going to like aspects of Sims3. I prefer to controll ALL my sims, ALL the time. I don't want them doing more "on their own" than already happens in Sims2. The whole concept of all sims moving a day forward at the same time, when you can only controll one household at a time makes me po-ed.

Thank you to the googleplex power! I've wanted this since day one!

Very nice! The mesh is now on page 10 though, just an FYI
