okay i was trying to make a little outline for my friend about the new stuff, etc. in the sims 3... is there anything i missed or got wrong?
seamless neighborhood
  -constantly changing
new motives
  -no more bars
                  - mood type bars now... ie. stress vs. fun
new trait system
  -over 80+ traits to choose from
                  - no more sliders
                  -can choose up to 5
                  -ie. frugal, flirt, athletic,etc.
new CAS
  -can change body drastically
                  - super fat to super skinny
                  -bulky to scrawny musculature
no more wants or fears
  -new dream system
                  -if unfulfilled not penalized
                  - ie. walking by shoe store and 'dreams' of having new pair of shoes
jobs
  -bosses are now real sims
                  - opportunities system
                    -ie. you're a cook and dishwasher breaks at work. you decide to take dishes home for possible promotion
                  - can decide to stay late, leave early, sleep w/ boss to get ahead
moodlets
  -little pop-up bubbles
                  - can affect mood
                    -ie. moodlet pops up saying you were fired from job. depending on how you feel about job could be sad/bummed or ecstatic for a few days

what are the new motives??
ugh so many things I was unaware of!!
I'm even more excited now!!!!
woot!!!
someone explain to me whats going on, please :o

there wont be the motive bars anymore like bladder hunger fun etc. there are going to be like 3 scale things. and if your sims needs to go to the bathroom a moodlet will pop up saying so and so needs to pee and you click on it. i have mixed feelings about the moodlets
