Lets keep our chins up!

I haven't! The seamless neighbourhood is the best things about TS3! In my opinion.

seamless Nhood and gradual aging are the main additions to TS3 and there are also what people are most excited about

[CountryGal4132]

yeah, TS3 sounds great and whatever we get, as long as it is a good improvement, we will love.  I know I will treasure my TS3 when I get it.  I will keep it by my side constantly (not joking) for the first month or so.  I will just be so happy to finally have it.  And if TS2 has 98% of the stuff people wanted then hopefully TS3 will do the same.  I really have gotten over being mad at EA for not updating lately.  I know I will find out everything in good time.

Could you direct me to where gradual aging is confirmed please?

[tv_freak]

i meant that the entire Nhoo will age at the same time....  {oops}

Gradual aging would be awesome! I wish we had it because it could get annoying constantly having birthdays for every sim around.

No problem, don't worry. Who knows, we might get graual aging anyway... {yes} {woot}

And that is a brilliant point. Although, they will probably just have birthays without us, but that's still a lot of birthays, someone will have aged perhaps everyday. It would be out of control. I personally think they should have birthdays combined with graual aging. Without lifestages, how will they ever celebrate birthays?

[dejadejavu]

Yea, thats one thing I was thinking about. I doubt they'll give up birthdays, but maybe there won't be such a huge transition like in TS2. Maybe they'll have a bunch of lifestages like preteen, teen, older teen, where the differences won't be that noticable. Then it can be like real life, where not every person has a birthday party. Some sims birthdays might go by largely unnoticed while others are a big deal.

[tv_freak]

maybe there will be a combination of gradual aging and life stages

[Cassie]

That is what I suspected. It makes lifstages less boring, seeing as they will be changing almost everyday. Maybe there'll be a little notebook/guide that you can view that shows you all the events coming up. If you check it everytime you play, you will be aware of whose birthday(s) are coming up, and can choose to celebrate them only if you wish too. That way, there's no harassment with all the birthday pop-ups.
