Agree whole heartedly with you all. This game was a sinking ship from launch date because of the poor way the shift from online game to stand alone game was handled. On one hand, on the rare occasions I attempt to play I do see some really nice things that I wish I could bring over into TS2. On the other hand, I keep hitting the stone walls of bugs, glitches, shallowness, and all the rest of it. So, I fire up TS2 whenever I want to do any simming, play or build. Can't remember the last time I played, the last time I fired it up was to draw up the plans of a community lot I made so I could translate it into TS2 land. Pretty sad when a game that is at least 2 generations older is far superior.
