I'm not very happy with the game so far after 1 hour of play.The graphics are still 2009! Gameplay seems much the same as previous games. (to be fair, only playd for 1h) When a Sim goes to work, you are forced to wait until they come back. During this time you will not have a damn thing to do. This bugged out completely my sim was back InnAbout hour. Animations such as cooking and eating is really bad, put some effort into it for God's sake, when we pay you so much money for your game. "Sims tracking camera" does not change the camera angle, so for example, you only see from the side when you follow your sim. Not possible to pan the camera when "sims tracking camera" is activated. It should be possible to pan the camera using the "Q" and "E", with or without Sim tracking camera" activated!

The cooking animations improve with your skill. My sim is a level 10 cook and is now juggling with ingredients.

Hi Anna!
Yes I can change the camera options. I had to disable "edge scroll" to be able pan camera angle wile sim tracking camera was enable.
I bought a reclaim key before I knew about the "The Origin Great Game Guarantee:" the game was downloaded from Origin. As I understand it this is not valid for "The Origin Great Game Guarantee:" ?

I do not mean how good her skills are, I am however very confused how you got the word "animation" to mean "The cooking animations improve with your skill. My sim is a level 10 cook and is now juggling with ingredients."
what am saying is about the detail in these animations. As magic a salad bowl shows up from nowhere to put the food in, or the knife she used is suddently in her hand and so on...

If you bought key instead of purchasing game through Origin client we can't offer you a Gream Game Guarantee.

About your sim going to work, try to get promotion by completing required things. You will find him getting promotion pretty quick and he will then maybe work 3 days a week for 6 hours a day. Or you can quit and work from home, depending what you choose as carreer.

He means that if you are the only person playing the game, he needs income, he needs work, he cannot do anything in his person, not look at all the abilities, inventory and all that **bleep**, he, and me too, has to dumblooking and wait for them to come home. The only interaction you have is the way he/she handles his or her job. Not look foreward to see if there are actions that can be accomplished in the mean time. So when the job is done he can do the things i pre-looked over. So, in sims 3 that was possible. Have any of you catch a fire in the house? I could not put the fire out because i had the game on fastest speed and mr. Grimm was there before i could do anything. Even my sims-spouse could not distinguish the flames. That is very annoying.

Weird to see how fast you wave with money..... Instead trying to convince the makers to do something about it, maybe if we all returned the game, how would your boss think of that.... wait for the headlines in the papers....

Sry, but no that's not it. If she has a job thats between 7am to 13pm she got home 7,30am or 8am, she was not fired, or anything like that, the game simply bugged out. Thats not even what this post is about. I would like Maxis to add the same camera view options as SimCity has, where you can "pan" with "Q" and "E"
as for everything else, well the game is pretty much the same as the others. Other then more expressions and smarter multitasking its just the same! And the graphics looks like a game from 2009 with some smooth filter on. I expected so much more! and that Maxis is even releasing this game now when SimCity still has a huge number of bugs that should be dealt with!
