Sims 2 or Sims 3?
minkey:
I actually don't mind the babies.but I will say that I didn't mean to sound rude,I meant that sometimes the simming community in general(be it 2 or 3)can sometimes be a little shallow.I doubt if EA(Maxis,whatever)intended the sims games to be all about looks,that disturbs me a little,a game should be about having fun,a little escape from reality,I don't like bringing the reality to my game.

:P As my dad likes to say, different strokes for different folks.
When you put it like that.. I spose we can be a bit shallow with our sims. But you gotta face it, sometimes, the looks are the best bits.
I agree with you a bit there also. I don't like too realistic sims. But the looks of the sims matter most to me because I don't really bother with houses or furniture. All my houses look the same unless I really strive towards making them look different.
minkey:
Yeah,I also hate furnishing or building houses for both games,architecture just isn't my thing,or interior decorating for that matter

Sometimes I think they have their fantasy/reality blurred a little
I'm sorry, I was under the impression that one of the greatest things about the Sims was that it allowed you to let your immagination(or as you put it, fantasy) and mix it with the reality that the game tries to simulate. And trust me, most sims 2 players aren't as shallow as you think. We just have high expectations after the greatness that was sims 2 and the sims 3 was kinda like a big spit in the face from EA who thinks their fans don't know a deterioration of quality and effort when we see it. It's like going to a small family bakery and the food is delicious and then it gets taken over by a big corporation, the food looks nicer and more expensive but it just doesn't taste that great anymore

Skip the blurred lines my sims should imitate reality in the simlish way they were made to. How close to reality or fantasy you want your sims to be reflects personal preference and has nothing to do with your rl character. Many times I play a family and they do things I didn't expect (which I love) and I think "Gee that would have made a great story," but I don't have the time in my rl to both play and write stories. I give props to those that make the effort. I will say I have never gotten the urge to turn any sims 3 plot into a story--the game designs their hollow lives.
The awesomeness of TS2 (for me) is the realism. Not OMG I think it's my life realism, I assume we all know the difference...but say if I have an elf in the game I want it to look like one (thank heavens for the creators that made in-game elves, fairies, etc possible). I want the theme of my sims to match my desires for the particular style I'm playing at the time. The realistic looks, actions and attitudes (albeit often over the top 1titter) are what hooked me. The sims 2 community & its creators--the real people who made the game playable and keep it awesome, that's what keeps me.
I have sims 3. Much as I like the sims I create in cas they ARE awful compared to TS2. There's no real relationship building, everything is all about collecting, raking in money, or both. There's simply nothing there to hold my interest for long. I always find myself asking why didn't EA just tweak TS2? They had so many loyal simmers to give them imput. Then I leave S3 and go back to my real sim world :D.
Saying sims 3 sims are butt-ugly is just an opinion. Unless someone is personally looking at your offered creation and commenting negatively or you personally work for EA I don't quite get calling that opinion rude. Of course, I would hope EA is above insults like "your game sucks and your sims are fugly," and would take action to remedy what people are complaining about (And then she woke up from that dream 1giggle).
