    Woo-hoo.

    I liked how it was in sims 2. Legs popping out, an arm coming out, the movements under the covers ... woo-hoo in sims 3 is kinda boring ....

    Lack of animations... I hate the way they don't get in the car right and I miss the animations when they have their first kiss or woohoo! (Or is this just me?) lol

    YES! I 100% agree with that! lol I was thinking the same thing... they should have sliders to make the hair longer or shorter and also sliders for maybe the chest area and butt...

    Well First that the sims faces are fat on here, i can't never get a skinny face and you don't have as much clothes and hair to choose from which i really hate and i don't like how you can't make your own town when you want.
    oops that was a few...sorry...

    Beyond losing all of the features TS2 had... I'd have to say that my number 1 complaint is the broken custom content installer. EA hasn't even acknowledged the problem, let alone fixed it. So until they do, I can't play with my custom content. Including the stuff I got in the overpriced store. All it does is load the installer and hang at 0%

    I miss the Matchmaker. I have one Sim who just doesn't seem to have any real chemistry with anyone she meets. At least through the Matchmaker she might have a better chance. But then again, she's a hot-head with no sense of humor. Maybe not. :)

    I also miss little things like gift giving. That was kind of nice.

    Posting more than 1, I don't care;

    1- No Electric Guitar (the stupid guitar that comes with the game is an acoustic)
    2- When my sims get their own car, the carpool keeps showing up, I HATE that.
    3- No way to stop the stupid newspaper from being delivered.
    4- Can't Woohoo, do romantic interactions, etc anywhere on the lot without other sims finding out. I find this incredibly annoying. How does the wife who was all the way outside on the street getting out of her limo suddenly find out that her husband had just finished woohoo with a romantic interest? I want it like it was back in TS1 or TS2 where they had to be in the same room.
    5- No way to "Hire" sims once you own a building. You can "fire" sims but you can't hire them. Sometimes you meet a specific sim that would be perfect for the job but you can't hire them. No nepotism.
    6- There is absolutely no need for the sims to whine. Absolutely no need what so ever. It's a stupid feature left over from Sim City (yes Sim City) when the city managers would "whine" to you about problems in the city. This should have ended in TS2, but for some idiotic reason it carried over to the Sims 3 and the only way to get rid of it is by using awesomemod. I deplore having to use 3rd party mods/utilities just to get the right gaming experience.
    7- All the bugs that were never fixed. Bugs like; invite a sim over select "train sim" the sim you invited is now stuck on the workout machine until they stink and get fatigued. There is no way to get the sim off the machine.
    8- Sims are still taking too long to do basic things. It took my sim nearly 10 minutes to stop what he was doing and walk over to another sim. It took another sim nearly 30 minutes to figure out how to get around another sim.
    9- It's build as a community, but it's not really a community. Why can't my sim be a Maid, or a fireman? While being said service person why can't I see them go to people's houses and so on?
    Maid, fireman, repairman, policeman, pizza delivery driver (part of culinary), burglar should have all been integrated into the the game organically. None of that "oppertunities" garbage. What I mean by this is, if you decide to be a maid, you get the maid outfit when you go to work and you can actually follow your sim as they go to other houses and do the cleaning. Same with policeman (as they respond to calls and so on) or fireman.

    I thought of another one.

    ALL my sims choke on EVERY meal while they are eating no matter if the food sucks or not. What's up with that. Some EA exec think that might be funny to happen every time?

    I have to pick just one? ***...

    um... probably that they lost sight of the big things. There are less couches, beds, hairdos and so on. (pls let there b expansions soon 2 correct this)

    But they added in little things like toilet paper (Which is good cuz i want my sims to WIPE! lol)

    So yeah, less items for me 2 hav fun with.....

    I think your problem, sir, is that you need a better computer for running the game better.

    I keep mine on high quality all the time and its really much better looking than the Sims 2... but yeah, i would like pets and all the faces are fat, especially on little kids.


    I'm sorry, but all your facial features dont stay the same size as you get older. If you have a small nose as an adult, it should hav been small as a kid.

    Your face doesnt grow around your nose and eyes...

    The game Launcher - most useless piece of garbage I've ever seen! THANK GOD the Sims community has already come out with a way to install custom content without using it. :mrgreen:

    New families and their finances, they still start out with approximately S20,000. EA came up with the potentially good (but obvious) idea to add more money per family member, but it still ends up the case that a new family has to live in a trailer/shack/hovel/etc. Atleast in Sims 2 they earned money quickly, and even in some cases got large bonuses or S10,000, S20,000 or S50,000 for chance cards, but I find it so difficult to earn money. My main sim is the "Leader of the Free World" but was living in a two-bedroom bungalow (with one mediocre bathroom) until I caved and used "motherlode" to give the President of SimEarth a more suitable house. I got the feeling that Sims 2 was more a neighbourhood creator, with plenty of options to change most things, and even, if you had the right tools, change the landscape. But this game seems to have gone back to a more Sims 1 approach of giving you a neighbourhood, but you create and customise the sims in much more detail. However, I find so few options, like I was hoping to have ways of altering them in the CAS, like having kids without having to be married, or starting couples off as girlfriend/boyfriend, and even giving them a level, 2 or 3 job and money to buy a decent house. Also, I enjoyed the family album, and ability to see Sims' memories, that was the best bit of exploring pre-made families. I apologise for having exceeding "Name 1 thing that botheres me"...
