OK so I know that a slew of TS2 players are abandoning their Sims they have currently for the new 3rd generation.  I wasn't all that interested in the new version when they 1st talked about it last year......or was it the year before that?  I don't know.......EA has been promising they'd have Sims 3 released & so far they've had bug after bug & pushed the release date back more than once and not just by a few weeks either.  So here is my thing: why should I?  Seriously.  Why should I?  I've already bought Sims 1, Sims 2, and now they just want to make another set of the same thing.  Well actually in my opinion it is not quite the same.......its worse in a few ways.  Yeah I saw the vids on TS3 by EA.  Well sure being able to make your sims hair & car match the puprle zebra striped shirts is all well & good......if you're into that sort of thing.  What if I want the Pillsbury dogh boy across my kitchen walls?  with TS2 it is just a matter of finding the wall wich they can be made to fit just about any order.  When I had my cc in my game I had all sorts of stuff like my favorite bandshirts thanks to Dr.Macabre.  Yeah zebra is nice (for some maybe) but I want my Sim to have a Slipknot shirt.  OK & then there is the issue of my kids.  They play my game & each have their own seperate hoods so their Sims do not interact with eachother.......what about with TS3?  Have you ever seen the Disney movie The Incredibles?  Well TS3 Sims remind me of them or those bobble head dolls.  Hey if there is an earthquake in the game do their heads bobble around? :D LMAO  My friends like the way they look (no clue why) or it just doesn't bother them......eighther way.........differenc of opinion.  Sims 3 no likey. :P :P :P  So even if my PC could handle TS3.......I don't want to defile my computer with them. ;)  So there was one thing the EA folks said that I will agree with "Sims community is loyal & outspoken" YUP. :D  Loyal to TS2 & outspoken in my dislike of the TS3 sims. :P
