*shrug* I planted 6 life plants and have about 30 death fish. I also have death plants, which give death flowers. Haven't figured out what to do with those yet.

Perhaps hand them to someone special, and the Grim Reaper will pay them a visit at night?

Hrmph, the known sims list really should include the sims' age in their details. Wasted another day seducing this hot blonde but it was all for nothing since she's just a teen so no woohoo for me (if the game is moddable at all it won't take long for the woohoo unlockers to appear, which would be awww-right!).
For those with other careers than criminal - do you get something extra from your work (excluding the obvious like paychecks, raises and the occasional work related opportunities)? I have the maxed criminal career with the Evil branch, and I get free crap added to my family inventory almost every work shift I do. And it's good crap too - usually art items (gotten the 'Ambiquity Itself' several times now, which is worth over 12k) and the mysterious gnomes which sell for 1k apiece as well.

I say enable woohoo with babies and grannies as well. I mean, this is a life simulator, isn't it? "Old enough to pee, good enough for me".

I can hold a meeting for 2 hours. Gets me $750. With my work and meetings, I make about 7k/day as a corporate ceo.
Wife is a movie composer, she can hold autograph sessions or concerts and make a killing if she has a good show (over 5k once)
Authors obviously with their books and such make a tonne too.

The wife is a cop (lvl10 special agent) and along the way I got a squad car as a reward for a promotion. Now I had a message that I can raid a criminal hideout, but I have no idea how. No item in inventory, no marker on map, no opportunity, no nothing. I might get some material reward from that, who knows.

If you are a medic.. sometimes (like.. 3x a week) your sim can get an emergency call from the hospital.. but that doesn't happen very often.. and everytime he gets the emergency call u get like.. $ 800

EA should really come here, read some of the theories and make a The Sims 3 - The NFOHump Edition rated AO! Who wouldn't want to buy that!

Hmm. So is it really possible to throw birthday parties at any point and quicken aging? I'm playing at Epic speed, and my Sim and his wife are 110 days or so away from eldership (?). They've just had twin girls, who'll be toddlers in around 25 days. That's pretty long, and considering it takes like 70 days after that to reach Child stage, the girls will have elderly parents way before they become teenagers!
So if birthday parties can be thrown at any point, I can enjoy their phases for a couple of weeks before I get bored and decide to skip to the next one.

Buy the inferno cake - its located in the outdoor;cooking section. Click it, choose blow out candles. A window will come up. You can age anyone whos in the house. I aged a teenager i wanted to bang and then romanced her and nailed her upstairs while the wife looked after the kids. Its lulz.

As long as modding isn't blocked in ANY way, as Maxis have said it won't be, then I've no doubt there'll be enough depraved mods for us all to enjoy |
This is what one of the absolute modding gurus of Sims 2 has to say:
| Quote: | Despite all the doom and gloom, it looks like there may be a ray of hope (Even though "ray of hope" is the kind of name I would give to a combat lazor.):
It looks like the way TS3 is structured MAY in fact be highly moddable, perhaps more so than TS2. Here's where it all goes to shit: Unfortunately, the scripts are also compiled, encrypted, and digitally signed. We have had success in breaking through the encryption, but unfortunately, they are also digitally signed to SPECIFICALLY PREVENT THE GAME FROM ACCEPTING THIRD-PARTY MODIFICATION. We have also been able to partly decompile them: However, the scripts are implemented as monolithic blobs. This makes it very difficult to do any kind of small contained mod, meaning you are only table to use mods from ONE source at a time, effectively. The other major problem is that the decompilation process produces code that is full of errors and will not compile. We're talking thousands of errors that must all be fixed. And this will be a pain in the neck that has to be dealt with every time patches come out or expansions are made. yay. Maintenance hell. Also, you pretty much now have to be a "real programmer" to even attempt modification: Code in TS3 is much lower-level than TS3's SimAntics bytecode. It is much more powerful, but also that much more inscrutable. What does this mean? Hard to say, it's not an issue which personally affects me. Will we get more because "real programmers" can apply their existing skills, or will we get less, due to the massive incompatibility issues, the fact that you essentially have to choose to play either EAxis, or Awesomemod, and not some mix-and-match combo of Awesomeware, Jeffyware, and Squingeware like you'd like to in TS2. At least the support will be less of a pain in the ass.
Of course, none of this matters: Scripts are digitally signed with private keys to permit only official modification. It is possible to hack the game to make it WORK, but there's no telling what conflicts it could cause down the line, as EAxis will surely try to shut it down, and the techniques used to achieve this hackage may not sit well with, say, the Evil That Is SecuROM. Yes, SecuROM may prevent you from being able to mod your game now. |
And this is what the preview said on the matter:
| Quote: | | The game will have modding tools built into it, to some extent; it's being designed from the ground up to be open, rather than having tools released as an afterthought. |
@ PR-speak.

Looks like that's the way.
I should've checked out the lessons menu, since the info's there. I threw the birthday party with no cake (hoping it'd magically appear to some point near the end), and it ended up being a normal party in swimsuits, with tons of food. However, my Sim kept a bad thought, given ONE guest was unhappy (due to refusing to donate funds for my guy's campaign). Stupid cheap-ass bastard Thornton. 
The baby twins were thrilled about their failed birthday party, though.
Oh, that reminds me: does aging up one of the girls ages up the other as well or are they twins just in name, and I'll have to throw a second party for the other one? That'd probably happen the next day, breaking the twin-ness time-wise.
