Wow, I went into the store to pick up the Sims 2 free time expansion pack and saw a magazine with a huge write up about Sims 3. Made me wonder if I should even bother. So I bought the magazine and read the article.

Well, looks interesting. I'll miss breading aliens if they don't let me have the. I like green skinned people.

But some of the stupid things will be removed. Like having to make sure your Sims go to bed when they get tired or make sure they use the bathroom. Silly little housekeeping things are gone. So that is good.

And the sims you are not actively playing will age along with the house you are playing. I think it will be interesting. But I think I'll still like my Sims 2,

Sims Societies doesn't seem to have the replay value that Sims has.

Anyway, just my three cents.

I havn't even played Sims2, i still have the original game with the expansion packs lol

alight! that's what i could use right about now. some sims three...i always hated those stupid things that you had to do in the other ones

I just want to have some of the stranger things still. The vampires, aliens, and the career rewards. Especially the man-eating plant. That one was fun. Lost some of my favorite sims when it ate them. Hehe. I also want the fountain of youth water cooler. It usually needed it to get the sims to where I wanted them.

Oh, one more neat feature is they are altering the painting skill a little. Sims will paint in different styles. And they will be influence by what they do. So if two sims go to the beach, the might both paint the same sunset, but it would look different based on the style most suited to their personality. And the personalities are done totally different. You can choose 5 characteristics out of about 80 at this time. Don't know when it is to be released.

I simply made a point of killing off all my sims... Death by fire rocks.

I read a thing about it on somethingawful and it made me laugh. If it's true that you have things like kleptos and stuff... yeah. That could be kind of amusing.
