Here's an album with 17 screenshots and notes on each. Enjoy.
That was interesting, Zaza. It's good to get some shots and insights from someone who is playing.
Is it some kind of reflection on our society that they all seem so chubby? I know there's been a push for more realistic body types -- and hey, I'm an extra chubby myself -- but jeez louise! This is, like, overkill.

Thanks for the pics. The scenery looks fine.
Sims look pretty good indoors??? All these sims look more cartoony than the TS2 sims. There's also something about their eyes that makes them look like plastic robots or living vinyl dolls. TS2 sims had a more realistic look. I found that I wanted to play the castaway sim on the television more than any of the sims in the other pictures.
Hopefully there's some way to create slightly less goofy sims or TS3 is going to get excruciating really fast.

Thanks for the look, Z. IMO, compared to how the TS2 sims look right out of the box the TS3 sims don't look half bad to me.

All I can really think to say now is that I won't be dropping The Sims 2 anytime soon, but I won't be dropping The Sims 3 either. It genuinely doesn't suck massive... well not as far as base games go.

Thanks for those pics, Zaza. I do think the Sims look a lot better indoors. Out of doors, especially for the light-skinned Sims, they look really odd. I'm really looking forward to some custom skin tones, but except for the weird lighting issues, I don't think TS3 skintones look any worse than TS2 Maxis skintones.
I think the eyes are the best of these new Sims ... watching video and seeing the eyes move around is really awesome.
Re: the "fatness" issue ... I've seen some TS3 Sims that look pretty thin, in their face as well as their body. It seems like it's easier to make rounder faced Sims though, which is why we see more of them. I don't know ... I think a lot of people have somewhat weird ideas about how human beings are shaped. Most people in real life have rather roundish faces. It's only on TV and in the media that you see people with ~chiselled jaws~ and such. But we like to imagine otherwise about ourselves, I suppose. I think part of the reason too that the TS3 faces look so round and chubby is down to shading on the skintones. I'll be interested to see if some good custom skintones affect the way the faces look.
