It contains EP & stuff pack items, so I\'m not sure how it\'ll look like if you don\'t have those..

Babies, toddlers and trampolines (not at the same time..)

Having recently installed two new stuff packs, and generally loving the building and decorating aspect of the game, I felt like revamping one of my neighbourhoods.. So, I\'ve demolished all the old houses that didn\'t have any residents, merged some families (mainly offspring of the EA-created families), moved them to new houses, etc..
I love the different lot sizes in the \'edit neighbourhood\' menu - so much more variation than in the older versions of The Sims.. (OK, this is not exactly a New thing, just something I hadn\'t blogged before, lol..)
I hadn\'t played that many babies or toddlers in The Sims 3, but now that I\'d merged a few women-only families, finding two pregnant ladies in the same house, I decided to play them through their pregnancies, and for as long as I found it enjoyable.
The babies ended up being girls as well! Petal and Flora, I called them.. For a while, it was all running smoothly, with four grown up women and two baby girls under the same roof - someone was always there to mind the babies, and their mothers got to rest when they needed to.. But eventually, the \'family\' divided as one single mother moved to her own place with her baby and a friend (who was also living in the same house), and the other single mother stayed put with her sister and baby Petal, who has now become a toddler - this is my active family, currently.
I love the \'realistic\' time in The Sims 3 - that all the families in the neighbourhood will age, whether you\'re playing them or not.. It always annoyed me in The Sims 2 (and The Sims, of course), that you might play a few generations of one family, and after all that, a childhood friend of their ancestor might still be a child.
I\'ve added some new screenshots to my The Sims 3 flickr set . (I especially laughed at this sim falling off the trampoline, and then getting up in agony.. LOL.. I\'m not laughing at her pain, of course, but just the amount of details in this game..)
