THE HORROR: The REAL TS3 Scoop As It Unfolds
SimKat:
This game reminds me way too much of the PS2 version of The Sims2 (cheesy).I'm still going too hold off buying it for now.I sure hope the modders can get in thier code and fix this garbage.Looks very buggy too me,then again it's EA what else did I expect lol.

Cons: I slightly exceed graphical system requirements, yet the game threw me into all low settings the first time I tried to play. I'm getting it to look decent after some fumbling, but I'm surprised at how horrible TS3 on medium settings looks vs. TS2 on medium settings.
UI is less intuitive than TS2. Messy, even the tutorial is just... messy.
Pros - I'm surprised no one has mentioned this yet, but I'm really excited (providing it works) - windowed mode without editing a shortcut!
Adjustable lifespans - only downside is that I assume it is global vs. per household. I still like that you can shorten or lengthen the lifespan without cheats/mods.
Build - Gotta love recycling! I'm getting a bit sick of the same windows/doors/walls/etc being recycled through now three incarnations of the game. The idea of no new meshes makes me want to weep. I have a TS2 addiction to new windows. I am surprisingly delighted by some of the small things in build - the auto roof feature, the dragging of walls, the auto quarter tile placement and 45 degree rotation.
I'll add to this as I discover more about it.
ShortyBoo:
Apparently buying sets of objects from the Sims 3 store will cost between $5.75 and $20 according to this site: http://simmersnews.blogspot.com/2009/05/sims-3-store-set-prices.html I hope they'll be easy to share like the TS2 Store items because everyone who buys the game gets $10 worth of Sim Points free. I'd be willing to share what I buy if it's possible to do so. The only bad thing is I heard that the EADM has SecuROM and I don't want it on my computer.

Well, it works, but the performance is much, much, MUCH better in full screen mode. For me, it's practically unplayable in WM. It even says so in the readme file.

It seems that a lot of those sets feature Sims 2 items. ???
