Re: The Sims 3

Hey Str8artist, what is the command on the controller to raise/lower walls in the game? I have yet to figure that out. I'd like to see what my house looks like from the outside with the walls up and the roof on for starters.

For the Xbox 360:
Hold LT + up until you reach to top of your home. That will show home plus roof.
Hold LT + left or right to show/not show your walls around your home
Hold LT + Down to show basements or level down from roof view

Re: The Sims 3

I thinkI may just pick up the late night expansion. Do you reccomend it?

so far it seems pretty good. the new city is a big system hog when compared to the others though.

I have only played it for 1 day(real life day, probably a week of "sim" time) though, so can't give any details of how good it is and I really didn't pay much attention to the pre-release stuff so I'm basically finding all the new stuff on my own. for a Sims expansion, it seem pretty good though. the elevators look nice, but the sims seems to take forever to use them and you have to use them if your living in one of the penthouses.

this has a run down of some of the new stuff.

I like the expansion a lot, but they need to make the vampires optional. Unlike other supernatural stuff in the game(s) up until now, you really can't avoid them.

Definitely the best expansion for Sims 3. With the vampires it's a solid B+, without them it would probably be an A.

Re: The Sims 3

On the Xbox version last night I finally found where you can link the Sims 3 to Facebook. However when I tried it said "invalid username or password". So I was like "Wtf?" and went to login to my facebook on the PC thinking maybe i was remember wrong...so Facebook says something about suspicious activity from London on my account and asks me if I knew anyone in London. I said no and changed my passwrd.

So I go to login under the new password (still on the PC) and get in ok. So I go back to the Xbox, now knowing for sure what the password is, I VERY carefully type in the username and password and get the same result "username or password not found".

Also, I did see a couple of times where the Sims 3 gave me a message that the facebook part of The Sims 3 was currently down or unavailable or something. Anyone else had this issue?

Re: The Sims 3

My girlfriend wants it but I cant help but shake the feeling Im always paying for the same damn thing from EA. They release The Sims, then they release 10+ expansions, release a new version of The Sims while leaving out half the expansions while taking the other half and stripping them down to make the remaining 5 expansions into 10 expansions with each one having less then before. At this point Im getting the feeling that EA is just laughing to the bank while suckers keep buying the same thing over and over again.

Anyone know if Sims 2 has the ability for mod's? The first one had a ton of items that were created for the game that you could download and use but I've yet to see anything like that for the second one.

I broke up with my girlfriend, and she loved Sims 3(
