Thanks James and Caffeinated.Joy!

This picture made me laugh so hard, how the heck did this happen?

Hey All, I used to be a regular here on InSim as well as other simming sites! I think I might be returning to sims after a long break, and many chemistry courses in between!

I'm so glad to see the community is still going strong!

I know expansion packs made things better for the sims 2, but the things i'm mentioning came with the base game, which is why i'm shocked they're not with the sims 3 base game. I want expansion packs because they add something totally different, not something that should be basic, especially with technology and programming where it is...

I waited a long time to get the sims 3, we found it on sale, thought it'd be cool to give it a shot...however, i can't say how disappointed i am. I'm not going to say there aren't any good new features, but there are a seriously lack of important old features! Maybe i haven't played the game enough, but has anyone else found themselves switching back to the sims 2?

I don't know about you all, but here is why i'm going to continue playing the sims 2, the sims 3 has:

*awkward user interface (why are motives last and unchangable characteristics first?)
*annoying story mode
*strange "mood" feature to replace "wants" and memories
*can't edit the neighborhood (WTH???)
* sims have no interests to talk about
*no fit/fat scale to tell if your sim is losing weight, you just have to watch it or use the command box...
*town has building as objects, you can't stroll in and browse or explore
*default cell phone, this is unrealistic and annoying
*limited facial modification parameters (why do i have to download a hack to make my sims look different?)

There's more, but i'll stop complaining.
But what do you guys think? Am i being nit picky? I just can't understand why they'd take away key features from the system. We'll see what expansion packs hold for the future i suppose...

Looks great! Can't wait for the attachment! :] <3

thanks so much!

Oh man, thanks so much! you rock, they look great and just what i wanted! <3

Both of these shoes have a general rounded-toe shape, one is from the base game and the other is from night life, they're from bottoms. I hope these are ok choices!

Yay! i can't wait, thanks again!

I guess this a request for Bloom or anyone who knows how to add shoes to a mesh...

I was wondering if sneakers/lace-up shoes could be added to:

the Neanderthal PJ mesh (far right)

and...

The wife-beater mesh:

I love these meshes a lot, but I wanted to make some Fall and winter clothes and such with normal shoes...

If anyone could do this, it'd be much appreciated! Many thanks! :]

Sorry, i personally have nothing against sims 3, i'm just not interested in it right now.
I don't think i'll leave sims 2 for a loooong time. I hope others don't forget the sims 2 either...

theraven, what you're saying makes sense, and there are a lot of story tellers out there...

MaryH, i had no idea! i chose not to buy the game after poor reviews, but after the dissing died down, i just noticed a lot of changes in the community. I had no idea it was this bad and that EA hasn't done anything to fix it...perhaps Sims 2 will have a longer life...

aww yay! that's great! welcome back!

I'm glad you're not sick anymore and that life is treating you well again!

lol, that's not my mesh i'm pretty sure XD...unless the game made it spontaneously, i think it's from another mecha mesh i have! XD i know i certainly didn't make it in milkshape...if i find the link i'll let you know where it's from!
