You can grow townie children up with FreeTime. I grew up a few of the children. Only Marsha turned out nice looking.  Yeah I had Marsha grow up with my Nicolas Lothario. They are married now and expecting there first child. Marsha is quite pretty. I would post a picture, but i still can't get photobucket to work  I get lazy too sometimes and wish certain families would just age without me having to play them. I rotate my families, and like Tina said, it can get boring...  |

I guess if it was done well with the option to turn off and on for seperate families it would be ok. But what with the sloppy features EA has with sims2 I really don't expect Sims3 to match expectations.

Yeah EA sucks...they're lazy so I can sympathize although I want to strangle them. Eventually they'll loose all their customers to Supple...if they would make it more like sims where you get to play with multiple people and do whatever you want instead of having to get promoted, sleep with co worker before your boss does, and kiss your boss' feet in the middle of all that....

 ha ha. It's true. Trust me, if they make it more like a life simulator, I'd leave sims in a flash. Plus in my opinion the graphics were more better...and they speak english! So instead of them saying 'shoo flee' when they're going into labor they'll be like 'Oh god it hurts!!!" |

I really like the "Shoofleee!" It was always "Shooflee my hunger!" "Shooflee my hygine!" or "Shooflee my aspiration!" when I played the asyum challenge. |

Thanks for posting that Pixx!  Well, it's obviously apparent that you don't need a super computer to run it. I figure they want as many people to run out and buy as possible...lol. |

But that is just the 'base'game for sims3, knowing EA there will then follow many EP's.

Oh yea. I'm sure the requirements will go up with each one just like they did with the sims 2. And those are the bare minimum stats to get the game to run. Companies always do that so that more people will buy. Those stats will run the game, but will they run it well?  Chances are not not so good.  |

....I can't wait to see what they come up with for EPs because, you've already got cars, you can already go out into the neighborhoods or where ever your little heart desires...there may or may not be seasons and besides creatures and vacations I just can't phantom what they'll concoct.

i hope they do a SP with clothes for all ages and with new maturnaty clothes and in one of there EP things like the vampires and zombies as they were cool
also being able to go to work and school would be a nice thing for in the future even if you cant do anything but seeing what they do would be great fun
