I picked up World Adventures today. These are just a couple pictures of the very starts of one of said Adventures, featuring Jacob in France.
So far, in the short amount of time I've had to play, I'm absolutely loving this EP! I've only been to France, but it's just gorgeous. There seems to be a lot of new gameplay added, and I'm really looking forward to having more time to play.

Date: 2009-11-18 01:49 am (UTC)I've had a little more time to play, and I'm trying not to lose my mind from the lag; I think I need to clean out some CC. (Also, I really really miss the awesome mod, but I shall patiently wait for it to be updated.)
Just sent mesim to China. O_o

Date: 2009-11-18 05:45 am (UTC)The void actually makes sense for the tombs I've been digging around in, so I think it'll be less weird for me to see them on actual lots. I still like that they let people without the EP use that! Interesting though that you're also getting the lag. I wonder if they'll work out what's causing that.
Jacob's tattoos/freckles are set up as an accessory, so they're technically gloves. As an aside, I was stupid excited to find females now have necklaces and upper arm bands!

As for the cheats.. x.x .. when I was messing around with it earlier I kept forgotting AM was gone, and tried 'money' 'editsim' 'setfatness -1' .. (at different times) while testing, and ended up /trying/ to remember the original cheats. I was just using random Riverview sims, because I didn't want to risk messing up the family I've been working on for about a month.
The basement void thingy may have to do with the fact that I'm used to the fake basements in the game.. The bunker my main family lives in has this... and I'll probably have to redo the whole thing. The weird /fake/ basement lighting glitch had always bothered me anyway.
Hope you don't end up with the crazy glitches I've been hearing about though, like lots vanishing, and sims unable to interact, clones, and other horrors. x.X ... lagginess is bad enough without throwing the other crap into the mix.

Date: 2009-11-19 02:46 am (UTC)I literally snapped my Sims CD, so I haven't played in forever. But ... now that I know the new EP is out, I am going to replace and get the EP.
Hopefully I can post some goodies soon on simchantment (though they'll be grainy as my computer still sucks dog doodles).
