It would be interesting to see some figures on how many sims3 players have reverted back to playing sims2. I for one will never purchase the thing. There are several reasons for that. Ist., it's not really the sims, I don't know what it is but it's not the sims. The heavy wording of the sims3 EULA. That bloody store thing. The but ugly figures.Finally the rumored association with those weasels at TSR.
As said long ago. They could have made a killing if they had of upgraded the sims2 into 3 instead of this abomination and to hell with the system requirements. Instead they allowed that egotistical idiot Humble have his way.
Going back to those figures on how many are reverting back to sims2, I use the number of new creations I see posted on the various sites. The sims2 exchange is just one such example. When the game was first released it died right down to a mere trickle, now there's a flood of new creations. Surely that hasn't gone unnoticed by EA.
Hi all--my first posting on a Sims 3 topic...ever
I've been holding back, hoping my negative opinion on the game would change, but alas...
I would honestly love to see the stats on people going back to playing Sims 2 as well. I really tried to love Sims 3--even though I was deadset against the game before it even came out--I even tried creating for the game and after spending an hour to get nowhere with my efforts, just went back to creating for the Sims2.
I did buy the S3 basegame, but have yet to buy the EP because...I just don't see the point. I was really shocked, also, that they put out such a boring-seeming EP as their first. To go from basegame to travelling was just weird to me...
The puddingfaced thing is annoying to me, as well. The children are just creepy, and the toddlers look like little ventriloquist dummies--the type that watch you sleep at night from the rockingchair across the room...it's unsettling.
After some issues with my computer, I finally got a new one and have gotten back into gameplay--and I tried to get into the Sims 3, I really did...but I failed. I just lost interest, and was annoyed that I couldn't get the sims' faces to look like the people I was modeling them after in real life. It was hard getting used to the controls again too, I have no clue why they changed the controls from S2 to S3.
I agree that lots of beautiful custom content exists for S3...but it doesn't hold the appeal the custom content for sims 2 had for me. One thing I absolutely ADORE about the S3 though is the body slider, especially since I downloaded the slider adjuster from MTS2, and can assign a bigger chest to smaller waists, it's great. If the Sims 2 had that, that game would be perfect.
I say that last line, because I went back to my Sims 2 game again this weekend, and the skinny sims are...realllly skinny. Like, toothpick skinny. The ankles on them are scary, it's like "how do they walk on those?!" and even the chubby sims are still too skinny...I really wish there was some slider hack for S2.
But yeah, the faces are SO much easier to customize. I tried to make a self-sim in S3, and came up with this weird way-too-smooth and pudgy face
Then I made myself in S2 (and I agree about them needing to make a bodyshop for S3, because I make ALL my sims in S2 using Bodyshop) I realize the definition in custom skintones really gave the face more shape (something I really haven't been able to find, even with all the custom content, for S3) and the different eye types...it really helps...
So, yeah...Sims 2 for me. And I don't see myself buying this WA expansion pack, nor the next. Sad, really--I wanted to love this game.
