I have enjoyed this iteration since it was released. Yes, I was disappointed with the lack of toddlers, but I kept the words of the Devs when we were told they wouldn't make the initial cut because they didn't want them to be (and I'm paraphrasing) half-baked. Once they released them to us in a free patch I was so elated I cried. Not only did they listen to the fan base, incorporating some of our suggestions into the toddlers, but they are now by far and wide the best toddlers in the game. That left me missing only one thing, really. I loved the singer career in Sims3. Now, with GF, not only has the celebrity system been vastly improved, but I also use Sacrificial's Road to Fame_Professional Singing Career mod to give me back my singer Sim.
I haven't played this often since the game came out.
