Ben Bell gave a long speech on it on a an 8 or 9 part You tube presentation before Sims 3 came out.
I wonder how long EA will continue to refer to 'eight years ago, we couldn't do X, so it's impossible now''? I agree, the animations and (I suppose) CPU overhead would be issues. But clothing? Seen the clothing go 'both ways and more' in other programs. Of course you'd have to use better models. But eight years later? Come on.
