[Pierre]

Unfortuantely I can't get the site to load for me so I was wondering what this preview is, is it like a demo of the game or can you just create a sim from the TS3?

[Chaavik]

Give me a second to post a screenshot of what it looks like in Live (Play Mode).

**EDITED**

Okay, I took one screenshot of what SimSocial looks like. It's not exactly like Sims 3, but the game gives you a general feeling of what it takes to play a Sim. It's not like Sims Online. You don't interact with other players, I think, but the game is fun to play. One downside - when you first play the game, it will sometimes pause to save the game, and you have to wait 3 hours to play again. But over time, it takes lesser time. This time, I waited only 9 minutes in between the play sessions. I enjoyed it a lot.

At least, this will tide me over until Sims 3 is out.

awh drat! I wish that I could get the site to load for me it says I need adobe flash player installed or something but thanks chaavik hon for posting that for me now you have persuaded me to install AFP

I've been playing the facebook version because for some reason it won't let me play the standalone but keeps redirecting me to facebook. It's a pity it's not more interactive, kind of makes me think it's like an advanced game of Static Chicken, but I'm a sucker for these sorts of apps. I've invited everyone on my FB friends list and some of them have started playing. It's not interactive but you can invite your friends' avatars out to dinner or on some other outing and you gain skills from socialising with them.

I think Flash Player is required to play any of the three game demos online.

The version I'm playing doesn't appear to come from Facebook but from the Maxis Sims 3 site because I have an EA account there. That's where I was playing, but heck, I am having fun with this one. It's not quite like Sims 3, but it is fun though.

Hmm okay so I installed AFP but is it normal when creating your sim that the box stays white and you can not see there clothing or face or anything on the sim because all I can see is a white box when it tells me to pick the color of the clothes or hair color or what have you, I guess I'm going to be surprised hm? lol

[Chaavik]

No.. It wouldn't be normal. Have you updated your browser?

[SimGirl20]

No I haven't how would I go about doing that Chaavik? also they are slowly trying to show up but I have to refresh the page like 30 times

[Chaavik]

What is your browser and operating system (XP, Vista, Linux, Mac?)?

[SimGirl20]

I have aol for my browser and I have a windows XP

[Chaavik]

Eh... AOL.... Try using a different browser like Internet Explorer or FireFox 3 if AOL doesn't block them from accessing the Internet. I think you can use either IE or FireFox 3. Worth a try.
