OMG you people have so messed up with this game.
New games are supposed to take an existing game and make it better, not go backwards.
What a load of $%$%^$^#^ why have we suddenly been given a product with less game play then sims1.
The graphics do look nice once you're actually in the game, but you can't immerse yourself in them its not a real world that your sim can explore, and the cartoon looking town screen!!!!! the closed little kiddy worlds!!!! WTF................
It does not matter how many expansion packs you come up with, this base game is @$@#$% and its not going to get any better, there is no control and no editing available, people loved the sims 3 because you could edit, customize and control everything and come up with just about anything your imagination could dream up.
This is a dummed down piece of rubbish for kiddies.
The only saving grace is the sim editor, but even that has issues.
You've moved all the control buttons and spread them all over the screen, oh my, part of the build menu up there.....part of the build menu down here..... were you all on something???? seriously???? did you just move it all for the sake of it, just to have it look diff to sims3??? because it certainly makes no sense whatsoever...
Excuse all the $%#%%'s but I'm really really annoyed. Ive been a sims fan since it first started and this new game is a slap in the face.
The only interest with this game is the interactions between the sims, and for people with no imagination who are only interested in their sims social sides, then they should like this dummed down #$%#$%#.
