The Sims 3 declares woo-hoo "a romantic interaction"

The Sims 3 declares woo-hoo \

The next time you start up The Sims 3, that annoying little EA Downloader in your task bar will automatically update the game to version 1.3. It's a massive patch in terms of the number of changes. I've singled out a few that are particularly noteworthy.

  • Fixes to Story Progression. Babies will no longer be born to single parents.
  • Camera memory hotkeys now properly remember floor level.
  • The "Call Over" Interaction is now available on seated Sims.
  • Non-player Sim autonomy now runs more quickly for Sims on screen and nearby (neighbors won't spend time standing in their front yards or not moving on community lots)
  • Relationships are properly preserved when merging a newly created household into an existing household.
And here are a few that I'd never even noticed. I have mixed feelings about some of them being gone before I could try them.
  • "Become Enemies with Child" wish no longer appears.
  • Prevented a case where toddlers were allowed to escape a lot and wander freely.
  • Sims will no longer get a wish to ask their husband to be their boyfriend.
  • "Woohoo" interaction now counts as a romantic interaction.
  • Eating specific prepared meals no longer has an impact on an unborn baby's gender.
  • A faint line is no longer visible on the heads of babies.
  • Sims can no longer "Try for Baby" with the Grim Reaper.

After one of the worst Fridays on record, the thought of being able to pawn off a baby to Death (Dead Zone style) is making me smile ear to ear. Bless you Tom Chick.

Thanks.
It’s time to read a great new romantic comedy, entitled Classes Apart.
This is an adult sporting comedy that follows the fortunes of Paul Marriot, the secretary of the Barnstorm Village Sunday soccer team and coach of a school cricket team in Yorkshire, England. The story describes the remarkable camaraderie between the players and supporters of this little club and their desire to achieve success. The team had previously been known more for its antics off the field, rather than their performances on it.

During his time at the club he meets and becomes involved with Emma Potter, who is the sister of James Potter, a major player for their bitter rivals Moortown Inn. Thus, begins an entangled web of romance and conflict. He also begins working at Derry High School, a school with a poor reputation of academic success, where he becomes coach of the school cricket team. Here he develops an amazing relationship with the children and they embark on an epic journey.
