That's not the point...

I think it's boring because so much of the neighborhood consists of rabbit holes, which makes there nothing to do or watch. Additionally, the EP's have so many bugs, it's ridiculous. I'm one of many players (not most; just many) that's gonna boycott buying EP's and SP's till EA realizes their sales are down and actually start fixing bugs.

Sorry for the confusion, gilly. I realize that my post isn't your point of view but since I disagree that you can't compare something as similar as two video games I don't think you can fault me for not repeating your argument in my post.

Of course I do, that's why I asked you. I had no idea only Admins could start a poll, though.

I think both are fun in their own ways. I love the beauty in the Sims 3 though. I often catch myself looking at reflections in the water, plants blowing in the wind, sunset in the distance

My favorite thing to do is send one of my athletic sims on a long jog, center the camera on her and just enjoy the scenery. It's interesting seeing parts of my different worlds that I never see otherwise.

Having open neighborhoods is one of the best features in Sims 3. Sims 2 does have it charms, and it's good points, but the focus is on one lot at any one time. That always bugged me, was very happy when Apartment Life came out, then I could make mini neighborhood lots and watch the interactions with the neighbors.

Posters before me I totally agree with. My sim is a writer and while she write books, I tend to go around the world, seeing the scenery, taking in the actions the NPCs are doing, and what the neighbors are doing in their homes. Love how the town is alive and the scenery is so doggone beautiful.

When people talk about beauty and realism, well one they are realistic, and two people have made sliders to adjust the weight, so its no longer a issue, and people have made pretty skins and stuff so you can have sims that are just as pretty as those we have in sims 2.

You guys resurrected a year + old thread?!?!?! Really?!?!?!

It's the topic that won't go away..... Until Sims 4 is released

and we can't even kill it with fire! Boooooooooooooooooo! *shakes fist*

I don't know if someone has already said this, but I am not prepared to go through 4 pages. :D

Sims 3 was never going to be perfect. If it was, that would probably be the last game. They obviously have to save things for future games.

I know. I can't believe this argument is still raging on. I didn't like sims 3; I love sims 2, so that's what I play. To each his own, right? Hasn't that always been the draw of the sims. My game is my game, your game is yours. We play our way.

By this point most people have chosen a game to play and are sticking to it. The people who love sims 3 have cogent arguments to support their allegiance. Sims 2 players have different arguments to support their loyalty. It's okay to have different opinions.

I think at this point we would all be better off designing a fantasy sims 4 game, combining the things we love in 2 and 3 and adding what we have always wanted to see in the next version. Who knows maybe someone from Eaxis will get a clue.

MOTHER OF FUCK, WHY?!
