My sim got a call earlier from a friend of hers inviting her to come over which I thought was pretty cool. It's not just left up to us to initiate get togethers with friends, apparently they can do it to.

Melani was having a party tonight, and I wasn't paying much attention - my toddler decided it was more fun to draw all over herself than the paper I provided lol. I looked up when I heard the Pizza man arrive with my party food, and it was then that I noticed there was a car in my Sims driveway. Someone at the party must have driven, and parked in the driveway.

I thought that was pretty cool...

Just found out a really cool tip -you (the player) can turn off your Sims radio and TV without needin their interacton. My sim fell asleep at her party (I know, some party animal huh?) and I noticed both the radio was left on, and someone had turned the TV on.

Not only does this rack up bills, but the sound was distracting hehe. So I clicked on the radio and selected turn off expecting it to wake my sim up. Nope, radio just turned off. I did the same with the TV and again, my sim stayed asleep while the TV was turned off.

This is a MASSIVE improvement over The Sims 2 and very awesome!

Sims 3 Improvement #108

The ability for me, the player, to pick up a rotting newspaper and drag it over to the rubbish bin!

Not only does this save me the hassle of trying to get my sim to do it, but it saves time. This is a great move on EA's part. Course, the downside is now I have to remember to clean them up. Bugger. LOL!
