I'm starting to think that I may need a "what do I need to know going into this" thread, because boy, there does seem to be mentioned issues. Routing sounds interesting...
Yes, there are a number of issues with TS3 that EA never resolved. Bugs, glitches, routing issues, the occasional fit that this temperamental game throws... but the nice thing is that people here generally know how to work around or through the problems when they arise. For example, as TreyNutz said, ciane completely fixed EA's version of Isla Paradiso, cleaning up the issues that make the unmodified world almost unplayable. The thread with ciane's download link is stickied here in the expansions section. Many people here use mods, especially those from nraas, that address all kinds of bugs that can corrupt individual sims or entire saves. Most of the mods are simple to use, and if you have an issue with one, there's always someone here who knows how to help.
If and when you do start playing TS3, you can always ask for help here. The silver lining of EA not cleaning up this beloved bugfest is that no matter what problem you run into, someone will have experienced it before and can offer advice.
