games are too much work to bootleg imo...download tons of torrents...then mask it as a disk...blah blah...so confusing...im pretty computer savvy but when it comes to gaming..i like pushing in a disk and pressing play

Yes I understand but I'd rather spend 3 hours figuring out a game, then paying $50 bucks for one, but I'm ghetto so that's why. lol

hey economy times i understand...ive known ppl with ok-to-average comps that will find a game they want for free..cos if it doesnt run on their comp...with most store's "no return after opened" rule...thats 50 bucks down the drain.

games and music return policy should be like ummm...pet stores:

"what was the problem"

"my cat, fluffy, hated this new food i bought. it looked tastey but he didnt think so"

"ok, store credit here ya go"

mhm thats how it should be for games and music.

i understand why their polocy is what it is..lots of dishonest ppl that would just buy and burn and return....wow that was a catchy phrase..

buy, burn and return..lol omg im so bored

You are too cute! It makes sense though.

i bought the deluxe edition and the instruction manual, and honestly, i hated it. i didn't have any problems playing it, but i found the sims to be SO one-dimensional and cartoonish looking - it was COMPLETELY disappointing! the only thing TS3 did for me was revive my interest in the sims 2, which i happily play every now and then.

I've been playing it since it came out, it's a brilliant game!

Graphics wise, it's the same as The Sims 2...but the big hit on graphics this time round is the seamless neighborhood. You can literally walk, run, job, bike, drive and get a taxi next door, or as far as into town or the beach. The only things bad about the game is that everything...and I mean EVERYTHING is customizable, you can change the texture of a fridge to any texture in the library like metal, rubber, or even carpet...and then change the color of all the levels of the object!

Another great feature added feature is that when you tell your sim to do something, when it appears in the top left of the screen; you can then select how your want your sim to do that thing...2 examples:

When you tell your sim to 'Go Here...' you can then select for them to walk, run, or jog...and then if you select jog...you can tell your sim to do it without breaking a sweat, with more effort (obviously making your hygiene go down quicker, but you gain a body skill quicker)

One other great feature to note is community buildings like markets, restaurants, schools, book stores etc...are all pre-built like buildings are in Sim City...so even though everything is so customzable, you don;t have to spend days and days adding the buildings you want in community buildings. There are still some community locations you can build like parks and gyms...but the rest, including places of work (which you can see now) are pre-built...Stadiums, Theatres, Food Stores, Kitchens to learn how to cook or for Culinery careers; Spas....theres something for everyone!

I could go on for ages...but I don;t wanna ruin the smaller perks for ya...enjoy when you do get it! :D

ugh i'm so jealous, i want to love it too. i just can't make myself, no matter how much i pretend. :tear:

^Haha!

It is a good game though!
I haven't played it for a while as you do need quite a bit of time to play and I've been pretty busy recently!
I have loads of these ideas that I have noted down when I make my next house! I'm soooo looking forward to load it up and create everything!
