Did you know that by right clicking on your Sim's picture you get a
little yellow target on it and that enables you to track your sim as
they walk! Maybe this isn't a new discovery for some out there but is
is for me!

Ya know I had seen the yellow target, but never knew why it was there.
I had Sims 1 also, but never knew that about the game. Funny huh?
Definitely cool.

Well, I guess you weren't around as much then to remind us.
I don't remember you posting as much with The Sims as you do with Sims 2
teaching
and sharing with us.

I really do enjoy your posts!!

I just wish you could right click on others sims thumbs, and have it
point to them, like it did in Sims1.

Like other "guests" in your lot...for instance.

Sometimes it's hard to "find" another sim you want to interact with,
especially in big, multi-level lots.

Been thay way since the first day of Sims 1.

And if you hit the spacebar while you have the sim in the crosshairs, it
fires a gunshot at the sim and kills it!

I miss the ability to right click on a visiting Sims icon in the
relationship panel and zap to them. Finding errant visitors is a pain in the
bum!

Yeah. I find myself still doing that though, even though it doesn't work in
TS2.

You enter (and exit) first person mode by hitting tab. It is a fairly
useless vision option as you can't do anything while you are in it.

Thanks! Would be interesting to tell the sim to Go Here, tab, and watch
the tour.

I agree with you! : )

Why they took that option out of the new Sims, is beyond me.

Me too! However, when you talk to sims on the phone etc. now their
image moves to the front of the relations panel, so you don't have to
look around... and other changes along those lines... makes it easier
to sort out your friends, but I still wish that along with the 'family
only' 'household only' etc. there would be one that EXCLUDED family,
since they dont count as friends.

Yeah, the closest thing you get is hitting TAB and floating around
like a spectre or something... it would be oh-so-cool to see from the
sim's point of view.

Aww shucks, thank you

Well, I did play all the sims games, have them all lying on a shelf
collecting dust, but by the time I found this group Makin Magic had
already been out for ages
