Gotta hate seven oclock

Me: Oh Alice needs a logic skill point - it's 10'oclock in the morning but she should be okay
*alice looks through telescope*
*Neighbor runs over and slaps Alice*

Or that one cranky elder who would wake David up just to slap him and then leave.

and I kind of do miss but at the same time don't miss the flu in a family of eight.
David was a sim who could be described as having 'commitment issues' and he would marry a woman let her have a baby then divorce her for the next woman. SO one of his ten exes would run up and knock the garbage can over - insects would arrive. Luke would stamp on bugs - Luke gets the flu. The whole house gets the flu.

(That being said EA I'd love for illnesses to come back possibly with seasons expansion and a sickly trait.)

I personally feel that the whole "loading screens" situation is kind of dumb. The reason for this is that there still are loading screens, they are just less obvious than in TS2! When you want to load a family, you get a little screen, same with going to other people's houses.

Less obvious perhaps because they are like 98% less frequent in TS3.
In TS2, a loading screen was needed for every lot. In TS3, that same loading screen produces a whole neighbourhood, which can be hundreds of lots.
No wonder its less obvious?

So stop messing with the bugs and stop picking up the can. I never pick up the can, it remains permanently knocked over.

Well in my game its very obvious since I have to wait ages to the lot to fully load hehe D:

The "hamster cage" situation. Now you have the whole life in a city

Sorry, I didn't mean to push anyone's buttons

'It's raining!'

No shit.

Hahahaha I actually miss weather a lot D:

But I do not miss Witches from Ap Life. They're terrible compared to Witches from Makin' Magic.

Thank you. Someone who understands my comment.

hahah yeah i miss weather too, just not how every time it changed they'd all stop what they're doing and run outside :p

Well, ya know, Sims will be Sims. They do stupid things. :P

i still pay both i miss some furniture like the atomic kids and the race car furniture. I dont miss the the pillow fights and when you build something the whats this? and they all flock to the new object is there a hack for that?

for the sims 2 i have the sim blender it is great. and that hack to have larger house holds i cant find one for sims 3.
oh yeah if you want to make your sims happy in s3 press crl shift c and type in testingcheatsenabled true then click on the mail box you get alot like make happy it will restore your sims. Also pressing shift and clicking on your sim you can change their personality.

lets see i dont miss not being able to costomize an object like you can in the sims 3. i miss the 4 seasons, having pets , i miss all the neighbour hoods like being able to create your oown neighbourhood, i miss how things were in collection files. and a star to know what costom content is like packagefiles .

i dont miss when it rained or snowed they flocked to windows and looked outside with amazment. i also miss the teen style stuff and some clothes the family fun slippers for kids and clothes
i dont miss the growing up bad and the memories like getting married being bad those kinds of things.

Haha, this so much. I hated the way those messages just cluttered up the screen.

There were a lot of things that bugged me in TS2, but I think there were 2 things that really standout: I about paniced when my cat (that I spent an hour creating so it would look like a fox) ran away from home, and then kept running away from home. And other animals would come to the house and attack him, causing him to run away again.

Also, I had some bad CC and when the toddler would play in the toilet she would disappear. Literally. I realize it was bad CC and not the program, but it just annoyed me that the kid was in the bathroom to begin with. Oh well. I fixed it eventually. I found a toilet she could play with "safely" since there was no way to keep her out of the bathroom...

There are plenty of ways to keep babies out of the bathroom, such as AUTHORIZED PERSONNEL ONLY from More Awesome Than You.

the hideous bathing suits
weird clothes
some of the hair
i dont miss the sims all moving to the same object then not liking it
lama outfit
Aspiration Failure.
sims not throwing dipers on the ground
What's this?"
"It's snowing!"
Playing in the bathtub-that was so weird
playing on the couch
kids jumping on the beds
Kickybag in the house
Pillowfights in the middle of the street.
The influence meter and system
Cow Mascots and Cheerleaders
Pranks
Washing dishes in the bathroom sink
hideously dressed Townies
Stray dogs digging holes and pissing on my lawn.
Flooded basements in Veronaville
friends always ringing up nagging about not calling them

Driveways that must sit like 20 miles back on the lot.-that was so anoying
lots more

For some reason those Mystery Sim memories annoyed me soooo much. Oh, and that dumb Skunk.

I don't miss that evil cow mascot from University. THAT COW RUINED MY SIM'S RELATIONSHIP!

I don't play TS3, my PC would crash, burn, and spit sparks at me for trying to load the first screen. But I wouldn't miss
-Everyone of the opposite gender running and crowding around a door meant for the gender they're not when someone leaves the house.
-It's Raining/hailing/snowing! It was raining all night. Amazing.
-Loading time that takes twenty minutes just to go to the house next door.
-Autonomous fights over something that didn't even happen.
-Never forgiving the person they fought with.
-Pets running away. Stupid things.
-Streakers, social worker, social bunny, cheerleaders, school cheers, mascots and pillow fights.
-Fugly pets and NCPs.
-Not being able to choose shoes with those outfits. Fugly. Boots. With. Fugly. Skirts. x.x
Aand that's about all I can think of at the moment. Haha.

Oh my god I totally forgot all about the bugs. Someone would always kick over the college trash can and a sim with the wrong traits would go nuts trying to exterminate them and get the flu and do bad in class.

I wouldn't count on that. If it's alive and kicking it can probably do ok on sims 3. The only thing sims3 has high requirements for is ram. It has to have 2gb or 1.4 gb free.

I thought the cow mascot was funny as hell.



After the loading screens the bugs are #1 on my list

Having to stop what you're doing to answer the phone. Now I can just click ignore call and if it was anything remotely interesting, it will popup on it's own.

I certainly don't miss Rabbit Holes. Oh, wait--those are in TS3!
