I miss TS2 and thought that EA would take all the best from TS2 and make it even better. This game is very disappointing to me and I am thinking of giving it away and buying TS2 again. I should have waited to read critiques on TS3 before purchasing it.
I would spend hours making neighborhoods with wooded areas surrounding parks, farm land, etc. I don't like the fact that if you move a house it's hard to find another lot for it to fit on!
I enjoyed sending my Sims on real vacations in TS2. Now they have to go through all this chaos and brain teasing to finally relax? I don't think I'll be buying this EP.
With all the money I gave EA games since the original Sims, Sims2 and now Sims 3, all the expansion packs, etc... why should I have to pay for items in the store. I don't care how many points I get for buying expansion packs, I am not using their store.
While I realize that it takes a while to release the expansion packs, I was hoping that the Sims 3 would be everything the Sims2 were and more! For instance, no weather, no pets, no access to stores to shop, etc. It's very boring as it stands right now.
