I got my copy today (two of them in fact--I'm not really sure how or why ), and by some miracle, I don't have any homework due tomorrow. So you can bet I'll be playing tonight and taking pictures to share here. Anyway, I figured I would make a thread for everyone to share their Pets stories and pictures too.

So jealous! New games don't reach the stores until Thursdays here in Spain so I still have a couple of days left to wait. Be sure to share lots of pics!

I haven't installed yet. I'm hearing reports of a ton of CC being broken by the patch that the EP makes you install. Apparently just about every CC object that Sims can interact with is broken.

Because of the CC issues I decided to play with a new neighborhood instead of an existing one. I also ran into a glitch with giving a LTW to a Sim while creating a new household (and you can't complete the family until everyone has a LTW), so I ended up playing with one of the families in Appaloosa Plains for a bit. Pretty horse. Here's the Sim. She's a country singer. I gave her different hair, but everything else is how I found it. I liked her truck. I got her a kitten just because I wanted to see one. And here's my attempt at an Akita Inu. I'm looking forward to exploring more fully once some of the glitches I'm seeing get worked out.

That's a colourful sim indeed. The horse really IS pretty! It has a nice saddle. I wonder what I will do with horses... my farming families might get one I guess. The kitten and the dog look really cute!

I poked around a bit in Appaloosa Plains, and I must say I like it a lot! I may have to move the Nobles there from SV. Took a few pictures. Babycat (not my naming..!) talking to a wild horse. Ice cream truck pulling up at Babycat's owner Gracie's house at 5 am. Horsie! I don't remember who lives here, but I like the look of this house. I was going to move SimThea in when the game crashed, so now I'm off to try again. I want my simself to have a cat. Or two. Or three.

From what I've read, the CC issue seems to affect packages and things created using third party tools?

I played a little yesterday after getting my game (very little, and as I was VERY tired my memories are a bit fuzzy... ). Appaloosa Plains looks lovely. I looked into Gracie Loveland's home and laughed after seeing her bedroom. Then, after failing at recreating a certain character from a videogame I wanted to play with, I installed a sim I had downloaded, gave her the equestrian trait and put her in the little starter house that has a fenced area. After failing to make friends with a wild foal, I made her adopt one on the phone, a very cute female foal called Bacon. I got them to be friends but didn't do much else. I thought it was adorable that Bacon had a bad moodlet from missing her mother. Aww! I took some (bad, due to tiredness) pics and might post them later if you are interested.

Great pics Thea. I love the rolling horse and the 5am ice cream truck visit. I want to see a unicorn so bad.

I'm not sure if it's because I just reinstalled everything, but all my store content is showing up for me and is working fine. Also, I was extremely happy to see that they finally included Yorkies (Yorkshire Terriers) as a breed of dog! The default tail they used is a bit long for the breed, but I'm still happy to see them finally make it into the game!

Store content is showing up for me too. I have refrained from using other stuff though (except for hair, clothes, patterns and decorative items. As far as I understood it's just objects that are usable?)

Cute kitty!! I moved my simself into AP, and gave her a cat based on my mum's cat. SimThea quickly got to see a wild horse up close. But the horse wasn't that interested in being close to her. She found a lizard that I kept for a little while, but her economy is so bad she couldn't afford to keep it. And now; kitty spam! He's getting to be quite a skilled hunter now. Not so good in the beginning though. This is just like him in real life. I love the fact that while I'm waiting for SimThea to get off work, I can play with Hilmar
