We all say we will not buy it, but the problem is, we are all going to buy it anyway, because the majority of the community is going to go along with it and when our wonderful custom content creators move along and we hear how wonderful the game is, we will follow the trend.
nah, thats not why I moved from Sim1 to sim2, theres still sims 1 content available online, and creators for it. I saw what Sims 2 had and did that sims 1 couldnt. It seems whenever there is a new EP though or stuff pack, if you dont get it, seems like everyone else gets it, then you see all this stuff, from content to new interactions that you want to enjoy to. So after Seasons, will get next 1-2 stuff paks, and so forth. SO, when sims 3 comes for some, upgrading no hesitation, as they will want the new improved simmies. Others will stay in 2. But theres spore you can play. Theres aleays some new game to be had. But there comes a time in ones life you want to do more than just play your games, real life Sims3 cant imagine what they could do to make the game better, I feel happy with 2 glitches and all. I dont even remember getting weather in sims1 or drivablecars, self owned bussinesses.

Quite frankly, they could improve upon the Sims 2 by programming it correctly and making it easier for custom content creators, since they are the ones that largely made the sims franchise what is is today. Except for the crappy programming part. How many times have you heard/seen a creator gripe about having to clean up code before they can even work on a mod, hack, animation or mesh?
Now, don't get me wrong; I like my Sims2 like the rest of you guys. I just wish they'd take a little more time with the implimentation phase instead of skipping to the production (read: profit) phase. Better graphics, a more flexible "moral" code and actually taking pride in a product would be nice. Kinda like starting all over again and fixing what they screwed up in the first place.

There are lots of possibilities for Sims 3 that would potentially improve over Sims 2. For starters, it's coming out significantly after Spore, which means Sims 3 could benefit from advances in procedurally generated content, making custom objects and animations far easier to create while making the whole thing more resource efficient. Also, they could examine the sort of custom content was most popular in Sims 2 - varying body shapes, for instance - and make them features in Sims 3, or at least provide better mechanisms for using the custom content. Sims of different heights and builds would be fantastic, and in my opinion given what little I know about procedurally generated content, should be relatively easy to do with the knowledge gained from Spore. The possibility of all clothing, default or custom, adapting itself to the Sim's bodyshape (default or custom) is one I would gladly start from scratch for. Maybe even have a greater range of Sim fitness states than Fit/Normal/Fat - in Sims 2 terms, a Fit Sim with a low Body could be skinny, but perhaps Fit Sims with a high Body could be either Wiry or Muscular. Genetic influence, maybe?
When Sims 2 came out, I couldn't imagine what aspects of life they could cover in Sims 2 that the original hadn't done. I was promptly shown that the limits of my imagination weren't shared by the developers, and I fell in love with Sims 2 despite owning almost every original expansion and suffering that horrible burden on my PC to sustain it. The Sims 3 might very well do the same. I'm looking forward to seeing what the next generation is like. After all, if it flops, we'll all still have our copies of Sims 2.

What does this have to do with Sims 2 help? And also, it's old news. Still, it's inevitable. Think about it, Sims 2 was the sequel to the best selling game of all time, Sims 1 was the best selling game of all time. Sims is now taking advantage of the SC series. Sims 3 is an inevitability.

my pc will finally die when Sims 3 comes out. My computer cannot handle all the expansions on my computer. T_T
