Well I thought it was supposed to be out today, but it's tomorrow apparently. Anyhow, I preorded it and put down my $5 deposit so I should be getting it tomorrow afternoon. I'll let everyone know what I think of it once I get a chance to play it a little.

Well I've been on less and had less time with MW stuff (not that I ever actually play anymore ) because of Sims2. It's a good thing for me they haven't released the tools to make new meshes yet. Anyhow it's been loads of fun and very addicting. I'll post a little picture diary of how my game has gone thus far.

That's great ;D Now do they just pose like that or do you pose them As i said before i know nothing about the sims, and i take it you can do textures if not meshes as it's got your face ?

I had Sim Chris and Sim mike fall in love and get joined it a union (or some other such politically correct non-marriage term for marriage). I don't blame them for not touching that though, gay marriage is a huge hot potato in the US right now. Anyway, they decided to adopt a child and ended up with a little baby girl (actually she was a toddler not a newborn, though I could have chosen a newborn if I wanted too but too much work ) named Kay. No relation to Kayleena, the name was given to her already when they got her.

The don't really pose per say, but they have a lot of different expressions depending on what actions you have them do or they do on their own (left to their own devices they'll chose what to do themselves, but if they are sloppy for instance, they'll never clean on their own, you'll have to force them to do it).
You can pause the game at any time and then hit C for camera to take a snapshot, or you can take snapshots while the action is going on. it saves the snapshots to jpgs and then puts them in an album and you can add story commentary to it if you wish.
So in a way, you can indirectly pose them by making them do different actions, but you can't direct set them in a specific pose.

I don't think Chris cares for this music lol. That's an interesting facial expression there. The male maid with the pink shirt (lol!) tries to get some attention while Sim Mike has a goofy expression standing behind him. I'm not sure what that's about but I think he may have smelled some food that he thought smelled good heh.

oh and you can do textures yes, they are in bmp and tga, but I didn't do them for these characters, I was lazy. They have a HUGE variety of options, nearly unlimited, for character appearance. basically it starts with one base mesh and you can warp and resize the nose, eyes, ears, lips, face shape, chin, brows, forhead etc etc in tons of different ways so I just did that and tried to get the head shapes close to ours.

Actually, you can download the Sims2 body shop character creator for free, it's the same one the game uses and it will show you all the options you can use. Then if you make a character with it and save it, if you decide to get the full game later you can use that character with it. here's the link at the loathsome file planet www.fileplanet.com/promotions/the_sims2_body_shop/index.shtmlbut I know there were other mirrors too
