Some Sims 3 Toys for your amusement

[hkellick]

1) Sim Sidekick. Have a Sim go with you around the Internet and watch how they react.

2) Simfriend. Choose a Sim and see if you have the skills to make your new buddy happy

3) SimSocial. As close to a demo to this game as it comes. Make good choices for your Sim and see if they succeed in life and friendship, or fail miserably.

ooo those are cool.

I can't seem to get the SimFriend one to work, but the others are cool, yes. I'm especially getting a kick out of SimSocial. :)

Sadly.. the four hour sleep time. :(

I did the sim social x_x now got to wait 3½ hours for my sims to wake up. Couldn't do sidekick (goes to main sims 3 page) or friend (link wouldn't come up).

[hkellick]

Was having problems with SimSocial and SimFriend as well, as I said. But I thought I'd try SimSocial at home and see if it works there...

[melanie]

Ah, the sidekick on work blocks x_x

[hkellick]

No, I got it to work, but.. it's working.. oddly. Maybe it's the thing itself, not work. I dunno til I get home. :/
Or til someone else says "Yeah, it's borked."

Problems I'm having...
The menus close too fast. like I'll mouse over them to make a new Sim or a new site and it doesn't work. :p
also, I can't click into the box to move the sim into a new website. :p
And the menu problem I'm having works with cool sites too.

You too?

I only got the SimSocial to work for me. The sidekick is literally blocked for me at work and I can't get the SimFriend to load at all, it times out for me.

[hkellick]

Yah, SimFriend times out for me as well. :/

Does SimSocial make sense to anyone else at all? I just keep losing friends even though all of our interactions increase relationships. One minute I'm BFFs with one girl, relationship bar full green, and the next minute she's all "I guess you dont want to hang out with me any more." This thing doesn't make sense at ALL!!!! :(

I hope ts3 doesn't suck this bad because if it does, I won't ever play it.

[hkellick]

I've had alot of issues with SimSocial and stopped playing it, honestly. SimFriend is alot more amusing to me.

Don't worry about TS3 sucking this bad. From what I hear, they spent the four month delay wisely and the game itself runs pretty well and is going to be tons of fun to play.

Honestly, if they spent all their time smoothing out the actual game and not enough time debugging their 'teasers', I'll forgive them.
