Sims 3!

[MadFrankie2007]

Wow. 11 Days to go. So, what are your opinions on The Sims 3? What are you going to do when you first get it?

I can't wait! :eusa_danc

[dirrty]

been playing it for the past two days and the novelty has kinda worn off now. its more realistic, but i prefer sims 2 still after thinking over.

[Oleh]

Only played for like 30 mins, pretty sweet tbh

[dbgtz]

Tbh theres no point for me downloading being as I preordered and will get in 10 days now.
Wait its not 11 days for UK release, its 14 or 15 (i cant remember if may goes to 31st or 30th)

[efq]

i downloaded it the other day too, its like sims 2. waste of time

[Stephen!]

I don't really see anything that has justified a 3+ year wait

[Moh]

I don't like the leaked version, its well crap!

[Art]

As said in the other thread;
"Anyway, the copy of the Sims 3 that has leaked has been proved to be a draft version and is missing lots of features from the final product."

[eight]

i dont like sims

[HotelUser]

The one I downloaded didn't work on Windows OR OSX:@

OSX told me it wasn't compatible with my architecture

Windows said "sims 3 GDF the parameter is incorrect"

joy. Several days downloading to get that. We're off to a great start:(.

I can't find anything about it being a draft version on google, link to your source please

[Bef]

right im really confused bout the whole seriel code thing, i got my code from the crack but it asks for it a second time and i put it in again and it wont accept it :s

[Stefy09]

When does it ask for it another time?

[Bef]

when i click the play button :(

[Stefy09]

Did you copy the cracked TS3.exe in the crack folder to ?:\Program Files\Electronic Arts\The Sims 3\Game\Bin ? :P

[MadFrankie2007]

How do you download the sims 3!? Link?

[efq]

People shouldn't give you links, if you don't know how to find a torrent don't even bother downloading one.

[dirrty]

theres a sims 3 thread which is closed a few threads down if you want more information regarding the leaked sims 3.

[Stefy09]

Anyone else get -repped for 'Promoting illegal activity'? lol I wonder who it is from....

Mine did dat, ur meant to download Poweriso or magic iso, and mount it ;)

[Cryptoo]

I can't wait!!
I've pre-ordered the collectors edition; you get guide, plumbob usb pen, posters, stickers and in game stuff.

It looks promising. EA told that the ones out on the internet are safe, but arn't the full version, lots of bugs and not all things are working. For example on youtube you can see the mouse etc. hasn't be giffed out and you can walk through almost anything.

IMO, its better to wait until the release date. Those who have ordered from GAME.co.uk will more likley get theres on the 4th instead of the 5th. Game have a habit of sending them out early to make sure its arrived by the release date.

I LOVE THE TV AD:

I don't see why people buy them, yeah its legit but the day its released. It will be on the internet and downloaded. Just as if you'd buy it, just for £0.00.

[GommeInc]

It's something physical and guaranteed to work. Some downloadable games are either bugged or laggy.

[matt9875]

Wooooo Sims 3!!!
i loves the sims and the sims 3 looks like a huge improvement on sims 2!

[Seany]

7 days to go in states, 10 over here ;D

[Indie-Dan]

I have it, while it's good I can't get used to all the newness of it all, it's kinda weird, I think I prefer the Sims 2 for now but I guess I'll need to wait until it grows on me.

[Skajo]

I don't see why people buy them, yeah its legit but the day its released. It will be on the internet and downloaded. Just as if you'd buy it, just for £0.00.
Erm, so that you actually have games to download? If people didn't buy games, there would be no games for you to download - then you'd complain. Grow up.

[Nick.]

what a dumb thing to say. If no one bought games, no one would make them, no one could download them. Use your brain :S

[Cryptoo]

Havn't they got some thing that blocks the game after it's on 5 different computers at once?

It annoys me people who download the game, it's like someone's hard work just being ripped off... what do I mean is like?! it is! someone had to work and do that. GRR, why can't they just buy it themselves...

well quite simply because they don't wish to pay the 'x' amount for it and get it for free instead...

[Cryptoo]

then in my opinion they shouldn't have the right to own the game.

[Blissa]

In the sims 3, you can add things to the game that other users have made.

You can't do this if you download it (At least I don't think you can, because it requires an online connection through a confirmation code sent to you via. e-mail when you register your copy). Also with the game you get a second town, rather than just the one. I dont know if it will be like this when its available for full download or not.

[Stefy09]

When its released, people will crack the full game and they will also probably release the new towns etc so people don't have to have a working ea key to download the new stuff

then thats posted on the internet and u just install it. there is literally no way stopping piracy.

[Glen Coco]

Damm, I really want to get it but I'm banned from putting it on the laptop becasue Sims2 slowed it down sooo much ! :(

[GommeInc]

I think he means the EA key which only one game can get. If EA are smart like Adobe, they'll keep an eye on their keys and block games with fake keys, making it difficult (though not impossible) for these freeloaders :P

[GoldenMerc]

Does sims 3 have pets?

[Stephen!]

Does sims 3 have pets?

Nope.
..

[GommeInc]

Does sims 3 have pets?
Sims 3 Unleashed/Sims 3 Pets, maybe? :P I wonder what the first Expansion Pack will be...

[GoldenMerc]

That sucks :( i havent played sims in ages, maybe since the first lot came out. i have most of the sims 1 expansion packs :(
i might just resort back to sims 1...

How do i download sims 3? :)

Btw its suppost to come out in PS2 soon :)

[efq]

If you don't know how to download it, its a high chance you won't know how to download a torrent, mount it, extract, install and over write a crack.

[MadFrankie2007]

i dont like sims

So don't post on the thread then. Simple.

[GommeInc]

It's out in a week if Game.co.uk are correct. It maybe easier just to wait till than to download it and go through all that meaningless hassle :) It's what I'm doing at least :P

[TheEclipse]

So what's it like?

[Roboevil]

Mine's just been shipped--it could come tomorrow! ^_^

[GommeInc]

Mine's just been shipped--it could come tomorrow! ^_^
Mine too :D What company does it come by, Royal Mail or whatever company is in the area (City Link for example)? If it's City Link, tomorrow or Friday are very likely for me :D!

[Angel-Light]

Its going to be a bit arkward finding torrents for OSx

[Recursion]

GAME shipped mine today :) Should come tomorrow... shame I have exams.

[Nick.]

;5832567']Its going to be a bit arkward finding torrents for OSx
why the same version of the game works on both os's...

[[Chris]]

why the same version of the game works on both os's...

Windows = .EXE
OSx = .DMG?

i dont know? does it?

[Recursion]

Yes it does, the game disk includes both versions.

[Nick.]

;5832725']Windows = .EXE
OSx = .DMG?

i dont know? does it?
Yes, it does.

[Crimson]

I'm not sure if I want to buy it or not.. I've always liked the Sims but after about a week of playing it gets a little boring :(

[[Chris]]

Ah, awesome. So i can just get any torrent?

Cant find a decent one.. :l

resetSim <full Sim name>: In the rare case that a Sim gets "stuck"
in an interaction or somewhere around town or gets something
stuck to it, use this cheat. It may take a while for the Sim
to appear because it is being entirely rebuilt.
Usage example: resetSim Mortimer Goth

fps [on|off]: Turns the frame rate display in the upper
right corner on or off.

moveObjects [on|off]: Removes footprint limitation for all object
placement in Buy Mode and Build Mode. Removes limitations placed
on hand tool for when objects are in use or for objects that
normally are not movable. Is known to cause issues with game
elements, routing, hidden object generation and manipulation,
etc. Note that using this cheat allows you to move and delete
objects that normally cannot be manipulated such as Sims.
If you delete these objects, there is no way to get
them back, so be careful!

constrainFloorElevation [true|false]: Allows all terrain adjustments
regardless of objects, Sims, and other structures on them.
Walls, floors, and objects will move with the terrain,
allowing you to create sloped walls and floored hills.
However, placing new walls/floors will still flatten
terrain, and placing objects will still require the terrain
to be flat initially if the objects normally require it.

disableSnappingToSlotsOnAlt [on|off]: When on, objects will
not snap to slots while holding ALT. Useful for placing
objects such as chairs near tables without them snapping
or placing counters near other counters, etc.

hideHeadlineEffects [on|off]: Hides all Sim overhead effects
such as thought balloons and speech balloons.

fadeObjects [on|off]: Toggles whether objects fade when the
camera gets close to them. Does not apply to Sims.

slowMotionViz <level>: Puts the visuals of the game in slow motion.
Entering a "level" value is optional. Valid values range from
0 = normal speed to 8 = slowest.

unlockOutfits [on|off]: Includes career outfits and service Sim outfits
as options in Create a Sim. The cheat must be entered before
going into CAS.

Theres the cheats with the readme on the game. 1 day early :D
