THE HORROR: The REAL TS3 Scoop As It Unfolds

This game is a bummer. I started out excited for it, and I became more and more turned off as I learned more about it. It's like everything else in life, I guess. First, I learn that the neighborhood is fixed and unalterable (an inexcusable step back to The Sims original)...
Actually, you can edit the neighborhood you just can't place lots wherever the heck you want. I've culled the lots in one neighborhood and I'm working on creating a goth themed hood. With all of the lots, and there's a crap ton, I actually don't mind not being able to place lots where ever I want to.

The thing that'll drive the nail into the coffin for me is the lack of potential for custom content. Will CC creators be able to put mods, textures, and meshes into neat little package files?
I imagine that real CC will find its way into the game eventually. EAxis' Maxiod Whomever has stated that there will be an "official" CC tool, which I'm assuming if for the "official" version of the game. I wonder how many more times I can say "official". If you think back it took some time for CC to make its way to get into TS2 and even longer for quality CC to make its way into the game. I'm sure EAxis won't be releasing (what I think is) an awesome modding tool like the ones Bethesda releases for ES or Fallout, but maybe it'll be useful to modders in creating a quality CC tool.
I say you just arr the game and decide if the game's worth it. If you don't like it then you didn't waste $50, if you do like it then you can still not waste $50 or you can wait for the price to go down to something reasonable.

Yeah, promised object/neighborhood editors will either not come or will suck horribly (and/or will be for sale in the Store; -shudder-)

Does nobody realize that there is ALREADY a Sims-like game on the market? It's even online.
Would this be Second Life? Not remotely a people simulator in my opinion. More of a virtual world social networking program that happens to have some creation tools for users. Well, maybe it's a little similar (as you pimp your avatar, build a home if you can afford a place to put it, and even get jobs like DJ or prostitute), but in the way apples are similar to oranges. They're both fruity.
By the WAY, Second Life is SUCCESSFUL. Allowing users to run wild with custom content makes you SUCCESSFUL, Electronic "Arts".

I don't think EAxis is capable of creating a tool that doesn't suck horribly. :P
Whatever happened to "Challenge Everything"? ::)

Kudos is another life sim, however I wouldn't call it a competitor to either.

To be fair, your patience and optimism are under the category of "everything".

Yeah, one of those games that tried to take advantage of the popularity of The Sims, but wasn't made with enough dedication to be as broad and open-ended.
