I have noticed that too :) It's awesome. I can't wait until I actually have time in the game to fully explore that. There is so much for my sim to do that its hard to keep up esp without my needs cheats. LOL I am having a blast exploring and finding all the hidden places to find collectibles. I have been playing almost non stop since I got the game and still am just working on finding out the stuff with a artist, collector sim and have barely scratched the surface of that, let alone all the other cool kinds of sims and careers lol. I can't understand how some people are saying there is nothing to do in this game.
