I love the game! The only thing I can say I dislike at the moment is interior lighting. If you look at an outdoor streetlight at night, you can see the lighting looks much more realistic than the lighting inside the houses. Although, I do Love that we can change the color which helps a lot and I much prefer that cooler and natural lighting. I love how much more expressive the Sims are. There are a lot of nuances in the game that take awhile to discover but it's a game well worth spending the time to play. I wasn't sure at first how I felt about zoning to different parts of the world but I do love that even when you aren't zoning to a new part, you can still see it. The zoning is fast and really traveling by car in Sims 3 left much to be desired for me personally. For instance, my Sim family in Sims 3 visited the festival. It started to hail so they left. The grandparents each took separate taxis home while the small children rode their bike the long distance home in a hailstorm. Can't really say I miss that. :)
