| Poll: If I were a TS3 Sim... (pentaclejen0709) |

This week's poll was suggested by pentaclejen0709. She will receive 10 simoleons for having her suggestion published. If you'd like to suggest a poll, please visit the Suggest a Poll thread.
I had to remove some of the traits, as there are too many for the space allotted. You may select other if one of your traits is not available.

This week I'd like to point everyone's heads to the "OMG! GUESS WHAT MY TS3 SIM DID!?" thread which can be found in the Sims 3 forum. Lots of fun little simmy things have been discovered, discussed and laughed about there and it's definitely the zone all our heads are in at the moment! 
This weeks FOTW award goes to thelunarfox for this post - viewtopic.php?p=30804#p30804 - as she reminded us (or introduced some) to the awesomemod which, now available for TS3 too, will fix lots of little buggy issues, most importantly that niggly story progression problem, and make our gameplay better!
Look for the awesomemod at MATY (moreawesomethanyou).
Congrats Lunar, 30 simoleans have been added to you account and you've got yoursef a nice shiny medal for the week

| And we're back! |
Poster: BlackGarden
Tue Jun 2 2009, 3:56 am UTC
UPDATE! Talk about everything happening at once! At the same time as I was trying to update the site, the server had a filesystem problem. Our hosts have moved us to another server, and hopefully we haven't lost too much. Again, if you get errors, let me know, and I'll try to fix them ASAP. Now that we're on a stable server I can actually work on the site again.
Hi everyone! Sorry for the downtime yesterday, but we're back just in time for The Sims 3. Thankyou very much for your patience while the site was down. I've still got a few nuts and bolts to tighten but the site is pretty much operational now. Please let me know if anything isn't quite working right (getting the chat box back is the first thing I'll be doing!) or if you hit an error message somewhere, please let me know.
The Sims 3 knowledge base forums now await your posts. There is no edit time limit in those forums, so if you post up your own article you are welcome to edit it as much as you like as other users contribute more information. I'm moderating that forum, so if anyone appears to have abandoned an article I'll take responsibility for ensuring it is updated with all the information users offer. Feel free to start posting in the knowledge base as soon as you have your game!
Welcome back everyone!
EDIT: The chat box is back, but you may need to give your settings a nudge to make it work again. Go to your UCP profile page and hit "ok" at the bottom of the page.

| Sims 3 Requirements |
Poster: ShoLeigh84
Mon Jun 1 2009, 3:44 am UTC
Whilst it's easy to find a list of requirements for both the Sims 2 and 3, I thought this Sims Wiki very useful and thorough. It starts off with the Sims 2 requirements and the various EPs for different systems and then goes on to the Sims 3 near the bottom. What's particularly helpful is the colour coding and the table of what REALLY works, not just what's SUPPOSED to work. In red are the bits that won't give good performance for the Sims 2. Then, for the Sims 3 (as we don't know yet what does and doesn't give good performance till we own it!) it highlights in green those bits that are recommended for both Sims 2 and Sims 3 to run well so you can keep both working properly
Hope this helps anyone who was wondering! It was the graphics card bit that I needed to look at

I think everyone will agree that the biggest feature at our beloved SimShack this week is the new forum design getting us all ready and even more excited about the Sims 3! Check out the home page though you can see it aalllll around you! http://thesimshack.com/forum/portal.php
Now, as I can't award the actual forum itself anything I guess we'll have to give the medal and simoleans to our dear ol' admin Heather
Congrats again Hez, awesome work!
And a pat on the head for the forums, maybe servo will pass that on
30 simoleans have been credited to your acount and I've remembered to give you the medal!

| New Sims 3 site online |
Poster: BlackGarden
Fri May 29 2009, 3:41 am UTC
After having had some pages leaked, the new official Sims 3 site is now online ready for the launch day. You can now browse the new exchange and the Sims 3 store - find out what you want to spend those 1000 free SimPoints on! I think I might just be collecting some of the new hairs. Don't forget to check out our very own tdyannd's page here!
You can sign up now without entering a serial code to make sure you get the username you want. Or, if you pre-registered your account, you can sign in with your email address from TheSims2.com. Your account is limited to browsing the site and creating your profile until you enter a serial code.

| New style |
Poster: BlackGarden
Thu May 28 2009, 1:52 pm UTC
Hello everyone! Noticed anything yet? .... (don't say no please don't say no... not even you Sho!)
Ok so to celebrate the upcoming Sims 3 game, we have a whole new Simmified looky here I hope you like it, but there might be some teething troubles, so if you find anything broken please post in this thread.
There's a matching style for the chat box - choose "newtss" from the chat box style drop down list - you'll find it right above the chat box, it's the middle drop-down box!
If you don't like it  then you can change your theme back under board preferences on your user control panel - the old theme was called prosilver and it's still there if you want to use it. But please tell me if there's anything I can change about the new theme to make it better!
So... comments??

Okay, so you totally have to sing the title like Pocahontas does in that Disney Movie! 
Okay...  ...maybe you should stick to typing.
Moving on, shall we?

| New sceenshots and trailer! |
Poster: ShoLeigh84
Mon May 25 2009, 6:31 am UTC
There are 16 new screenshots here - http://www.worthplaying.com/article.php?sid=62822
The first 3 show how the Sims 3 exchange will look and some of the available objects can be seen - including a police car! (Ok, well it impressed me!)
Then there are some beautiful scenic views of the neighbourhood, I think the water looks stunning, very real.
Then of course we have various piccies of gameplay showing the wide range of looks available for your sims and their surroundings. I noticed a very muscular looking sim guy in a concert scene, glowing ghosts outside a house and a plethora of plants 
Then at the top there's a link to a place to downlaod a new video (the top 2 say new but they appear to be the same video!) The US mirror works for us here in the UK just so you know! The new videos have "new" right next to them
But I've uploaded the video here anyway as they don't run on Windows Media Player and it's just hassle for everyone to have to download it and VLC or a converter
