I tried Sims 3 when it came out and I just couldn't stand it. Remember all the rage about Sims 4 before toddlers? That was me with Sims 3 and rotational play, lol. I also hated the way the Sims looked and animated - they're just so ugly. And I hate rabbit hole buildings too, so...you can probably see why it's not for me. :D
I did try it out again about a year ago and picked up a few EPs on sale for $5 each. I had always wanted to try out Supernatural, Into the Future, World Adventures, and horses. It didn't go well, lol. While I do love the depth of selection for Sim personalities, the general gameplay mechanics and appearance (and all of the bugs and stuttery performance lag) just isn't for me.
I really loved Sims 2, though.
