Everything I need to know, I learned from the The Sims:
1. Get a job, use the bathroom, and learn how to cook, in that order.

I have all the other expansion packs and think I want to get the new one.
If you got it, did it slow everything down ALOT!  Are there some glitches?

How do you get the sim to bathe their dog?  I'm not finding that
