Since the Sims 3 is out now, why don't we have a thread to show off our houses and decorations :D
I'll post some later.

Lol, this is one of the features I haven't bothered looking at :P Is it still C for a photo, and V for video?
Not sure.. I just use fraps to take my screenshots.
Heres some of the images I found on Google, these are 'The Sims 3'

I might get the new 'The Sims 3', it does look good :P.
The fountain image is of a downloadable town :) The one you get with the game, Sunset Valley, has a huge Central Park, while the downloadable one has a long, thin one. I sort of recognise it from that picture, could be wrong though.
Im sorry but what is 'Collectors Edition' ?
The collectors edition has a strategy guide, Plumbob USB stick and some other not-so-great stuff LOL.
I wouldn't mind the USB stick though.
I've been on the game for about 30 mins, the house isn't spectacular but here goes:

That's all I got so far. I'm too tired to build one of my mega mansions so I'll spend tomorrow doing that and post the aftermath on here :)
From them screenshots, the graphics look abit dissapointing.
worth the download?
It is, he's just got them on low, I have mine set to the highest settings possible :)

My game is incredibly slow when I turn the graphics up to 'Very High'
I'll post mine later, they're very poor at the moment... even though I married Holly Alto. ;(
The game will set the default that your PC can take, I doubt your PC will handle it much better.Quote:

Hawly **** those graphics look awesome :D Thanks Tawm.
I miss the high res screenshot thread :(
Wow Tawm, those pics are hot. Very cool :)
I'm having trouble getting use to the buttons. I can't build houses like I could on Sims 2.
And my computer is a beast, it should run in good graphics.
If you want to take loads of images without going to paint and saving then there is a program called FSScreen. Which is used for Flight Simulator users as its so easy. You just press prtscreen when you want to take a picture and it will save it for you without you doing anything.

You can press "c" on your keyboard and it saves them in your My Documents without all the UI, thats how I got mine ;)
Quite a few here.
haha, even better. thanks didnt know that.Quote:

I miss rain on this :( I hope they make an expansion for weather and seasons.
Games quite often do set themselves to what they think is their optimum settings ;)
What are your specs?Quote:

LMAO AT THE LAST SCREENSHOT.

Yeh it is a really good game. I bought the limited edition one, and the women at game gave me the pre-order pack aswell :D.
Pre-order pack
- £6's worth of simpoints.
- 2 Limited edition cars.
- Tip, trick & guide book.
- Map of the city.
Limited Edition
- Sims 3 game.
- 2Gb sims diamond memory stick.
- Nice box.
It is a brilliant game and I recommend downloading it instead of getting the crack, and remember to turn your graphics settings up for the maximum gaming experience :).
I dont think it's worth buying but i realyl am considering downloading this.
I'm not getting the full SIMS3 feeling, the graphics are better on SIMS 2, i think I need a better GFX Card :(
What I love about this game is you can go into town without a single loading screen.
I like that too :) Getting jobs is easier too, just click a workplace and join :P Better than poking a computer or newspaper.Quote:

Did you order from Game? I think most of that was what you get when you pre-order from Game. (Game.co.uk too).Quote:
