Cheating

[yummybunny]

In TS3 with this seamless n-hood, do you think that cheating would be easier or harder?

I believe that it can be easier at times, then harder at other times.

Easier--You don't have to be stuck in your sim's house to cheat.  For example, let's say, I am playing Ted Richards and his family.  Well, Ted is cheating with Jeanne Dilks.  Instead of being stuck at his house, he can easily go over Jeanne's house, and do all the romance interactions that can be done in a house.  There is no wife around, Jeanne's husband may be at work, who cares.  And it would be fun if Ted and Jeanne are woohooing, and her husband comes home.  I wish that sims would be intelligent enough to think, "I come home and my wife is in her undies, with a man in his undies."  They really don't have to be doing it, but let's say that when her husband walks in, Ted and Jeanne play it off, and are watching TV in their undies, because they couldn't get their clothes on, and get out the bedroom before Jeanne's husband walked into the house.

Harder--Pretend Ted and Jeanne go on a romantic date.  And Ted kisses Jeanne at a restraunt.  But Ted's wife's friend, Holly saw that kiss, and goes tell Ted's wife.  My point is that when cheating in TS3, you may have to watch out for friends and relatives of your wife.  Or another man who wants her, and will do anything to break you up.

Then speaking of woohoo, do you get fired for doing it at your job, and getting caught?  Let's say that you got caught by your boss, or someone who has a negative relationship towards you, or someone who wants your job?

I think it would be easier and a lot more fun this time around, because the only thing that fustrated me in The Sims 2 is the limits they put in. Like to use your example, like if Ted and Jeanne were having an affair and of course you had to invite her over because of no visiting neighbors and you invite her to woohoo in his and his wife's bed, and the wife is outside talking or something she automatically knows he cheated because of the whole firework show. It use to be very funny, but it made the game challenging because of the sim who has the romantic aspiration.

So in the Sims 3, with everything being so open, I hope they put some realism in the cheating, because the example I gave, what happen if your sim is on the opposite side of town, having an affair with the doctors wife, who live at luxury beach house, and your sim's family lives in the surburban area of the town, I cannot see the wife of the cheater knowing her husband cheated gets in her car or runs all the way across town just to start slapping him in the face, that wouldnt be realistic. But the thing is, I remember watching one of Ben Bell's vids, and he explained one of the sims, went out on her own and started flirting with another sim, because of her traits, so I'm curious to on how that will be played out in the game. If Ted saw Jeanne at the bistro, and he is already falling in love with her and his daughter for example is across the street talking with her friends, I think he would automatically go up and kiss Jeanne unless you stop him.

This game is going to be very interesting to say the least. {clap}

You have a really good point there.... I'd think it would be harder than in Sims2.

[frannyve]

good points, i think it'll be a little trickier when your sims are out in the town... but interesting

i've always thought it was hilarious when my sims have another mans baby and the
real husband has no idea, even though the baby looks nothing like him...

[yummybunny]

I wonder how having another man's baby would work out?

If the father of the child isn't a deadbeat, he would come over and visit the child and stuff.  And what would the husband of the child's mother do?  Would he still be stupid and go on with his life, but still have family interactions with the child?  Or would the father get mad at the mother.

I personally think that it would end up being the first thing I said.  And it would be great if the mother can have a choice to tell the man who got her pregnant that he is gonna be a daddy, or just go on, and hope the husband don't recognize. 

I can't wait to do this kind of stuff in The Sims 3.  One of my families is gonna start off with a young, beautiful woman who is a materialistic, ambitious golddigger, and loves the rich men, and will go after them, no matter what the costs are.  She is gonna hang around the rich areas a lot.

[killerkenya]

Wait, in TS2, if a woman had a baby with someone else, her hubby still had family interactions? That is funny, haha.

I thought about that as well. Very social sims would be at risk, especially the gold digger sim described above. All those gossipy rich friends? Her secrets are bound to be discovered! Haha.
CAN'T WAITTT ugh. Why isn't it Feb yet?

[yummybunny]

Yeah, the sims would be at risk, so before kissing, watch out.  But I am gonna cheat in front of a family friend, so I can see what would happen though.  Then I hated it when the kids don't react to their parents woohooing.  Like my sims would be doing that, and their kid barges in after coming home from school, to shout over homework.  Like it would be funny if the parents stop, and cover theirselves up, or the kid can start crying, and run out.  Or the parents should scold the child for barging in their room without knocking in the first place, like how I was raised.

Yeah, she is gonna be after the rich sims.  I plan on having her go after the Landgraab man.  Idk about the Goths....she may...Then the Noveau Riche and Altos, idk if she wanna mess with that family.  If his wife finds out, my person would disappear from the face of the planet.

It will be here soon, only if Christmas break would come...That passes up a month...

Then for those not living in the US, are their any major holidays coming up, where you can get a few weeks or so off?  If there is, that is a fast few weeks.

I know that after my break, it would be only a month left till TS3!!!  I'm not gonna be able to sleep the day before it comes out...it would be like the presidential election, or Christmas all over.

I like your scheming gold digging sim idea. It would be very interesting since Sims 3 is all about storytelling, that your sims could be kidnapped. Like for instance a sim woman helds this other woman captive in her house, a house where she shares with her husband and children, to keep her away from her husband. This woman has a family, but since all the sims age the same - you keep her locked up until shes an adult, per say if she was a young adult. I know it sounds very soapy, but that would be fun.  {lol}

DUDE! I totally hated that! It's like they are entranced by their grades. I think if they pull it from a D to an A then there can be celebration. But why do they have to bother the entire household because they maintained their grade? It makes me want to keep everyone at a C average. *Shudders with annoyance**
