Are there any new weights or anything for the fitness hobby, asides from the exercycle? =D

Sorry, only the exercyle

Those are the pictures from Pets, are there any other pictures besides that?

BUT ANYWAYS! I'm STILL Excited! I Want mine now!

I am just floored with all these new options! Parenting skill is just awesome, that way if I decide not to use the Insimenator, I can still know the baby's lowest need to fill! Though, if you think about it, this feature is something that should have been included in the base game.

OK, a few pics of the cloyhes and the drawing table. I thought you were supposed to be able to put the kids drawings up on the fridge or something but when an adult interacts with the table all they're able to do is scrap the drawings or clean up. I tried cleaning up, hoping the pics would go into her inventory, but no luck

To get the secondary aspiration you have to experience events (such as having a child and getting married) to get Lifetime Aspiration points then go to the rewards panel and choose to spend those points on benefits, much the same as the OFB benefits when your business goes up a level.

The start up music is pretty funky, but since I've only started the game once so far I couldn't say if it was the same as from the preview, but most likely it is

Cinamun Scholar Join Date: Mar 2006 Posts: 1,485 Thanks: 997 in 9 Posts 7 Achievements	SCORE! I bet it is, I just checked out of my own curiosity and the music for the Season's preview is the same as the start up music for Seasons (seasons is my latest EP). I am officially a happy camper. Thanks for taking the time to answer all of our questions!

And I'm so glad you're sharing with us! Thank you once again FrootLoop! Are there any other aspiration rewards we should know about? What does the first one under Work say? Something about vactions?

Nope, I'm on the NSW/VIC border. We seem to have gotten the EP's a few days before their official dates the last few times now :D

Other things I noticed while playing for a few minutes...heaps of drop ins and phone calls (hoping someone will hack that), and you can read articles in the newspaper about your particular hobby once you've built up some enthusiasm.

Thanks heavenz, that's exactly what I had to do. Now I was able to put it on the wall, but not the fridge.

Also, here's a pic of the computer that gets left at your door. It's pretty cool.

Edit: I have no idea why the bottom picture looks like that. It's just supposed to be a pic of the kids drawing on the wall. I just used the in game camera so I must have clicked on a setting.

Well you could use moveObjects on and snapObjectstogrid false... but I think the fridge would be blocked, and then the sim will probably yell at you and stuff saying "SHOOFLEE!"
