You have to walk around in real life, this is a game about life, not a magical mystery tour.

Thanks now I'm going to have to listen to the Beatles today.
:D

Sorry, but when I read comments like but 'it's hard to build a game, or I don't care I just want to play!' I start to think a lot are riding in that submarine. No offense anyone the sub ride is fun...sometimes. B)

Submarine plus the magical mystery tour elements mixed...couldn't get any more magical than that.

I just don't want Sims to be walking through walls if another Sims is already in a door way. If it is just cutting a corner of a counter or table once in a while fine I can live with that.

I don't think they will be walking through walls at all... :D

I think you are right about that. :) But on the bright side with the clipping it shouldn't be hard to program ghost. :#

Hi! I know you love TS2 and so do I, but there is clipping in TS2, I am not going to bring any TS2 pics here, I am just not in the mood, but there is it, though it seems to be far worse in TS4. In TS2 sims tend to abandone there actions quicker tan in TS3, instead of tapping feet, but there were also routing failures , meanly with NPCs, have you never had your butler or gardener turning endlessly around a bush? stuck in one action since you send a playing sim to talk to it and it turns off the action, it happens to me all the time...

An small amount of clipping is somehow unavoidable (all and evry game has it) but I hope all that huge amount of clipping we have seen in the reviewer videos is somehow fixed in the final versión, because if not TS4 will have so much clipping that it would look like a joke!

I doubt they'll go through walls but they do route directly through each other like ghosts, so that is why there will be no bottlenecks in doorways.

I dunno about that...

So, what you are saying to me by posting the SN EP cover, is it's normal in a Sims game they should walk through walls, arms should go through objects/toys, people dancing side by side Should bleed into each other's bodies, Sims standing at a counter should have their hip go through the counter as they move away, Sims at a park Should pass through one another to try to talk to one another. Brilliant, then let's all beg for more of it.

If it doesn't bother you that there should be some form of law of physics in a simulated life game, then more power to you. I expect it's all over the game unless they have spent hours upon hours to correct or improve these things.

Bushes are placed by you, if your butler can't get around them, that's your fault. ETA: However you may be referring to a bug with the butlers trimming which sent them into an endless loop..fixed in a later patch, problem solved. I would suggest to you to install all your patches, EPs in Order not out of Order, don't install buggy M&G, Buggy Kit and Bath, Buggy Teen Life Stuff, or buggy Celebrations. Those all had bugs in them which EA left some unfixed due to working on TS3.

I agree with this, what was just as bad was watching your Sim wait 2 hours to go through a door way (best example of is in Uni.)

Might as well have them walk through the walls then. Routing issues solved.

It is not so if I am using a premade lot, and I have this case mainly, because in my lots thing are better made, I asure you and in my TS3 worlds there are not routing failures, because I review and fix and re-review for months (yes literally months) before I think I´m done.
