1. What is your favorite EP/SP and why?
Don't have any EP's Yet! picked up the Sims3 a few months ago but i waited til i got my new computer to start playing :smile:

2. What is your favorite thing about the game?
There's so much! i like having kids and raising a family, and also just trying to build friendships and careers, i also like expanding the houses i have, though i'm nowhere near as creative as some of the people on here!
3. Do you play with cheats? If so, which ones?
Nope! not unless "ResetSim" counts :wink: its a rewarding experience getting your money by earning it!

4. Do you have any tips/tricks you'd like to share?
Don't send two sims to the same job! It caused one of those sims on my game to keep glitching and getting stuck outside the entrance, he ended up getting fired because of it! different job, no problems

5. Did you buy the Sims 4? If so, what are your favorite and least favorite things?
Not yet! not sure if i will, i'm enjoying 3 without any ep or mods, so there still heaps for me to do in that regard, and also the reviews of 4 aren't very complimentary, for the most part!

I haven't been by here much, but just wanted to say hello to all of the latest newcomers! :smile:

@OzGuy, welcome to the Sims! I have never had that happen where two Sims both had the same job and couldn't get to work! I currently have two Sims in the film career branch, but they are both at different levels, so maybe that's why they can go to work normally.

You will really enjoy the EP's if you get them. I have all of the EP's and I love them all! They add all kinds of variety to the game.

I see that you don't have any mods installed, so here are my suggestions for all newcomers and Simmers about mods: Some really good ones Twallan's Master Controller and Twallan's Overwatch. Master Cont. gives easy access to cheats you may like by clicking on a Sim/object and bringing up a menu of options. For ex, I use MC all the time to click on a Sim, then choose "Change this Sim's Traits," "Edit in CAS," and you can even choose "Age Up" if you like. Those are just some of the basic ones - there are a lot more!

Twallan's Overwatch literally saved my game! It would constantly get stuck and now it only pauses momentarily at 3 am "Sim time" clean up. The overwatch mod cleans up stuff that clogs up the game such as stuck cars, Sims, etc. You can google Twallan and go to his site, he has created quite a few mods. I can't speak for all of them, but MC/Overwatch are great! :mrgreen: I've used them for probably three or four years and never had issues.

Oh, I almost forgot to say: to use these mods you will have to set up the framework for it. It's really easy to do, I believe these are the instructions: http://modthesims.info/wiki.php?title=Game_Help:Installing_Sims_3_Package_Files/Setup_and_Files.

Hope that helps! Have fun Simming! :smile:
