liv, i'm not touching that one with a 10 foot pole. :lol2:

tootx, it's NOT worth abandoning sims 2. :shame: it has it's pro's, but i'm still not 100% sold on it. i will say i'm glad i didn't spend my money on it. how did i get it? that's a long story, but you may find an answer at maty. :)
What are the pros of the game? I dont like the way the sims look and call me dumb but what is maty??

i haven't really played long enough to have a definitive opinion or to give a thorough review. i've been bored with actually "playing" the sims 2 for a while now, so it was no surprise that i found myself getting bored with sims 3 since the gameplay, animations are so similar. i get my enjoyment from the game through building, creating, and stories. so with that said...

CAS

Pros

i love the bodyshape and skintone sliders - in oppose to having a set selection of 4 default skintones and a fit or unfit bodytype. it greatly increases the variety of sims that you can have in your hood. i wish EA had added height adjustments. :(

i like that you can select shoes separately.

i like that you can customize the color of hair and clothes.

Cons

while new face sculpting tools were added, too many were taken away. you can still get unique looking sims, but they will all have that pudgy pudding face to a certain degree. from what i see, with the current tools, it would be next to impossible to make dead ringer celebrity or self sims like we were able to with sims 2. i hope EA will make an add-on equivalent to bodyshop at some point.

from what i saw, there's no way to customize makeup colors (lipstick, eyeshadow, blush), which doesn't make any sense to me. you're stuck with the presets which are HORRIBLE imo. but it's possible that i missed something. please correct me if i'm wrong.

very small selection of clothing and hairstyles. sure, you can change it to any color you want, but who wants a thousand colors of the same shirt or hairstyle? i'm sure ea will fix this minor issue with the ea store. ^o)


GAMEPLAY

pros

the game loads so fast you barely have time to get a cup of water. :thumbup: even without cc, the sims 2 took much longer to load.

i love how the hood is wide open. basically it's one gigantic lot. you can explore everything freely with no load times.

the graphics and details are great. i love the rolling hills/mountains, starry night sky and the generally realistic backdrop. the trees and vegetation look really good imo too.

i REALLY like the moodlets.

Cons

rabbitholes - i wish we could see what our sims were doing inside certain businesses. as it is now, you click on the building and your sim disappears inside for a few seconds, then reappears outside. there are a few community lots where you can follow your sim inside, like the gym and art gallery. i guess when EA creates an OFB equivalent expansion (there's already talk about it in the works) it will open more businesses up for us.

too many of the animations are similar to sims 2. i thought this was supposed to be a NEW game.

that's really all i can speak on for now. i have much more exploring to do. i haven't even sunk my teeth into buy/build yet. :-/

here's a more in-depth review on buy/build mode.

:agree:

In my opinion, this would have been a great expansion of Sims 2 but EAxis is soooo determined to rush through everything it does. It's supposed to be an upgrade but it's not. The sims are not my favorite...they all end up looking alike to me. I do like the personality traits but I wish you could have more than what's offered for those sims with multiple personalities. :P

I love the concept of the grocery store but I wish stuff wasn't so expensive. From $320, I was left with $62 when I bought just one of everything. :blah: I like the mood system and how challenging it is to build skills. I love the scenery but I hate the limited music. I also believe the sound effects are better. I could hear the difference in the sounds of bare feet made on the floor. Lastly, I like the map. It's easy to go places quickly using the map though it looks like a huge complicated board game...it's very organized.

There's soooooo much that mirrors S2 that it can get boring quickly but my self challenge is to find anything and everything that's different. The jury is still out on this game.

i saw that tsr has a new cc tool that they claim they're going to share with the whole community, complete with it's own paysite-friendly EULA. /:-| :lol2:

It looks good, Ivory. I love that look of the scenery...and that black and white outfit she's wearing! You don't still have to lighten the pics when you use print screen do you?

LOL! She's gonna be crying all through woohoo. :lol2:

Just went abck and looked at the pics-Sheil, Eveena is a bad chick and im liking her,lol Molly just got the punk whopped into her, :lol2:

Here's Kio, a sim I made before i got the 'offical' game today and I had fun playing with.

Kio works at the cemetry in the catacombs-scary job, but someone has to do it part-time so why not her with her evil-mean-inappropiate self,lol

This is what she looked like after touring the place first, :lol2:

Stealing candy from the little kid....Her hubby, Ben placed his guitar in his inventory and took it with him to the park to play for tips.
Posted Image
Posted Image
The ladies love them some Ben

The sucker was so good!!!

She went fishing and brought the fish she caught home so she could put them in the fish bowls. We have Tiny Tim(the gold fish) and Tracy Mae
Posted Image

Posted Image

Reading at the park
Posted Image

She keeps calm by working in her garden
Posted Image

Sometimes it doesnt help and she just has to be rude-which results in a fight...
Posted Image
Posted Image
In her insults she had the option to do something like 'call such and suchs mama a llama' or some insult like that and I thought it was funny,lol
Posted Image

The townies at the park just dont know how to keep it clean. Look at all that wasted foor... For shame!!!

This sim's name is Snow Flake. (First thing to pop into my head)

Her personality is:

Insane
Artistic
Lucky
Flirty
Genius

Instead of wearing her nightgown...she felt she should wear her workout clothes and tennis shoes to bed. :clueless:
Posted Image

For some reson she wanted to rummage through the garbage
. :confused:
Posted Image

Later, she returned for more fun-filled dumpster diving....
Posted Image

The next day, she woke up and I noticed that this time she put on her formal to sleep. :blink:
Posted Image

Then, she went outside to practice her guitar before going to work.
Posted Image

This sim is unpredictable but I like it.... ;;)

I like that these sims are so crazy. Stealing candy from a baby.... :D

Eveena had some issues with violence but it goes to show you that the townies are crazy too. And Snow, she's a weird one...and very headstrong too.

Thanks for all the wonder (tease) pics you guys *coughivorymochalasheilcough* I know Mocha thought I was going to spam you guys out with pics, but.............I haven't even installed the game yet :canthear:

But I will this weekend, and hopefully Liv will have downsized her pics ^_^ I'm mad that they wanted to charge $20 more for the collectors edition that I pre-ordered ... there was nothing different other than that damn plumbob usb drive, it is cute though...not $20 cute, but cute nonetheless :P
