    You can also press M for map mode...
    If you buy a bike or car, put it in the sim's inventory, then sell the bikerack/parkingspace...
    They will always use it when the distance is too long, because they can't park it at home...

    Some screencaps i made:

    Ok, I literally played this game ALL FUCKING DAY yesterday. I got no work done. Furthermore, I did not talk to anyone either. Just 15 hours in front of the computer with a few minutes break to go to the bathroom and eat.

    It feels weird. Kinda like I was in a coma and a day just disappeared from my life. I'll have to limit myself today. :marathon:

    If you try the "chat with..." function in between "play computer games" it will make your social bar go up. I am not sure, but I think posting on wordforge counts as "browse the web" which does affect your social bar...

    :P

    And after playing around extensively with the face modeling tools, I still have to say they suck!

    Megan Fox has a squared off chin, but there is no way to do this with the tools they give you. You also can't specify the amount of freckles they have on their face. Megan can either be completely clear or she can look like the most gingerly of gingers. They also limit the amount you can move the face up or down. I wanted to make some Wordforgers look like they had Down's Syndrome, but alas, I cannot. :( . You can get the face to look about 75% similar, but that's not good enough.
