Ok I sit at my desk playing my new sims 3,and then it occurs to me as I am looking at edit town that this is the first sims game that will not let you add new lots,and design your own town.So I go to forums and can't find anything,while getting frustrated I ask ea about it.Anyway long story short and with no answer where theres a will theres a way and a bulldozer lol.I do hope in the new expansion that is comming that they will put that back in for us simmers who have our own style.I love to build and create my own homes,much like the homes dotting the streets in Iowa middle america suburbia.I want my sims to live in great functional homes,as I do.I also want my towns to like like midwestern towns with all the charm and character small towns have.Some people might think i'm being silly,but I eally like my game since my kids have grown it's been my favorite past time. "AKA not into bingo and gardening"I still dont feel old enough to resign to those hobbies lol.My son who is going to be 23 in march just laughs at me when he comes over and the dinner I had promised him is still unmade cause I have gotten deeply into one of my sim families,and thinking it hasnt been long am amazed to look at the clock and its 4 hours later.So in tactful way I kindly tell him that I will cook for him,while explaining to him that its the great computer he game me for christmas ,and he should be glad I love my gift so much that I can't leave it alone lol.Now we all know I am full of bullarky,but seems feasable to me at the time lol.Well this is probably enough of my ramblings for now.Happy simming all
