TS3 L&P
Lyra:
I'll buy the Sims 3 when it has no DRM, including bullshitty launchers.

Yeah, I meant more than the people who already do. lol I didn't start until after BV. SecuROM broke my DVD burner and it cost me as much as the game to replace it, so I haven't bought a Sims game since. I just save my money and buy Wii games instead.
Ditto. I try before I buy these days and so far, most software is failing: not worth keeping the free version.
It'd be nice if TS3 had a finger slider but that would mean they had some creativity, which they don't. The face sliders appear to be greatly disappointing--the reviews I've read and the pics I've seen, all the sims look the same, some fatter than others. Sad, what a waste.
I'm really hoping some up and coming company thinks 'we can do this better' and makes a swell adult version of the Sims.

As are most would-be customers. For many reasons, not a lot of people are jumping up and down for joy over this game, aside from the sheeple at the BBS. They never cease to amaze with their never-ending baaing.
And even then, some of those sheeples might end up losing interest pretty quickly if nobody is out there making CC (well, except TSR and whatever shitty retexturing they are up to).
I'm in the "meh" group myself. If and when talented free creators are able to make the game less painful to look at, I'll probably consider ARR-ing it to see how it plays on my computer. TS2 is staying installed, though.

Surprisingly--even to myself--I'm still pretty damn excited about playing TS3. Maybe I'm more of a 12 than I thought, but I feel like most of you are focusing too much on the information that HAS been released and assuming that there won't be anything else. I'm looking at it from the other end of the spectrum and assume they're telling us some of the interesting things they are putting in without revealing the entire game. Sure, they want to draw people in and tell them why TS3 is worth buying, but they're notorious for keeping most of the meat of EPs under wraps until release.
Then again, this is L&P, so there should be plenty of poking, prodding, etc.
I was watching some videos on Youtube and came across a few frightening tidbits:
+Simple Eaxis items can be recolored/textured in game and then INSTANTANEOUSLY uploaded onto TS3 website/Exchange.
... God, what would the 12s do with this increase in power? Not than any of us bother with the Exchange except for laffs anyway, but the very idea terrifies me.
+During one of the videos, the designer proceeds to "show off" one of the new "features" only to reveal a glitch that makes one of the sims disappear. He explains, "Uh... if there... wasn't a bug, you'd see..."
...Riiiight. I don't know why Eaxis was so surprised that the creators at Creators' Camp were disappointed when this was the sort of shit they "showed off."
I also found a couple interesting tidbits:
+There is a way to customize/replace townies in-game.
Not sure how they're going to orchestrate this, but I'd like to see it.
+One of the designers made mention of uploading another town/neighborhood post-game launch.
I'm not sure if this is really a good thing or a bad thing? It sounds odd that they would release it for download post-launch... another "feature," I suppose.
This may have already been posted, but it's a good walkthrough the new CAS. Nothing new, but extensive. video
Does it drive anyone else crazy to watch someone else play The Sims? It drives me nuts to see someone else controlling the camera and settling on things that I'm uninterested in. I found myself, while watching a lot of these designer walkthroughs, trying to fix the camera angle/position, hahahaha.

What drives me bonkers about those designer walkthroughs, is when you hear a Sim in the background do the "YooHoo" yell, because their path is blocked. For the life of me, i can't fathom ANYONE purposely putting up with a completely Vanilla game for any length of time, without going insane.
