•What you liked
some of the sim creation things were easy enuf, still needs more places to push and pull on though for more variety though.
•What you didn't like
missing the CAS (Create a Style), if EVERYTHING had the same color choices, wouldn't mind SO much. But NOT being able to change textures and colors to make outfits match or look different REALLY slurped. only the 4 to 8 preset choices? no variety. we're talking Eiffel Tower sized slurpage here.
•Suggestions?
remake the CAS tool. it's what made the Sims3 SO awesome. Variety. I could take a simple chair, make it wood of any color, metal or paint, slap cloth, wood, leather, velvet, etc on the seat.. take furniture from different groups and sets and make them all match. same with clothes.. I could make the jacket leather, shirt velvet, denim, whatever.. the possibilities were endless ..
with just a few premade choices.. the creativity of the Sims themselves was lost to just facial features and a little body work.
Houses still got SOME variety, you can BUILD anything you want, but are limited to the few swatches available, and they might not match the handrailing, or the floor, or the doors you choose might HAVE to have the oddball looking white frame, where most everytrhing else has wood, etc..
you dropped the ball, it's the last play, with 2 yards to go.. and the ball rolled down into the volcano and landed 400 feet below next to lava.
how DARE you take that away from us?
I applied for a refund as SOON as I found out.
•Overall thoughts?
some handy features on the create a sim, still needs more places to push and pull or adjust curves. Lats, shoulders up/down, up and back or slouch, upper and lower ribs, belly, hips, change the size of the ends of each limb segment (I had popeye arms when I was young), buttocks up/down, rounder/flatter, in/out, teardrop/pear/apple/orange. ... etc
still missing a lot of careers, need to be able to place more objects inbetween squares, like windows and doors.. need to be able to center them on anything.
need roofs to be able to be on a rounded edge or octagon surface... I made a octagon spot, flowed the house off of it, and only had square roofs, and a rounded porch end.. but ONLY square stuff.. yea.. the roof was hideous... my date would have laughed her way all the way to the cab ride home.. without stepping foot on my property.
town view was horrid, sims 3 town view and editing were fine.
though the sims 3 was still too picky about where you could place new lots.
need lots where you can make walk out basements, shoreline, riverside, etc.
