THE HORROR: The REAL TS3 Scoop As It Unfolds
Mixreality:
So...
Why exactly is this single-household-forced gameplay (apart from sims living on their own when uncontrolled, I don't mind, see below)? I've seen only promises vanish when going back to household #1 from household #2. Everything else remained as it was (skills, relations, that lifetime points thing, job level...) Of course, I might have missed something huge. Also, I only spent like a 1,5 day at household #2, so sim from household #1 didn't have quite enough time to spawn or die.
I think I can live with my speshul families falling appart while I'm busy elsewhere. It might be a good thing after all (if it's not absolutely horribly done, I still have no idea how it's done), it will certainly break us out of our routines.

Could your people be autonomously ADOPTING while you're playing other people? If this is possible, I call EXTREME WTF and stupidity on EA's part and DNW O.o
I have a deja vu of Pets, when you had your playables autonomously buy critters in community lots, so when you go play their households again you find them buried in cat hair and dog poo.
FIRST hack to convert from TS2: Babby BBQ.
I actually like that, but anyway...
No. Demon child is definitely the genetic daughter of Ms. Schmoe. She has the same hair color, down to the subtle blue streaks. She also is extremely ugly.

Well, I've played for about 4 hours. It actually is not as bad as I started to fear it was from listening to some folks' opinions. I've only played one family, so I can't comment on what happens with multiple family play. The Sims look different than what I'm used to, but I'm adjusting. I'm still having navigation issues, but I'm adjusting, especially since I found the edge scrolling box to check. I think the buildings and landscaping and everything are really, really nice to look at.
I guess at this point I'm still just a little overwhelmed by the differences from TS2. I was much the same when I started playing TS2. And I also tend to proceed very slowly and cautiously with a new game. Chosing locations on the map is stressful. I wish I could choose from a list, like when calling the taxi in TS2.
I kind of like the way buy mode is organized.
I'm not sure what else to say at this point. However, I'm thinking it may be hard to go back to TS2 after seeing TS3. I may be wrong, though. Guess I'll find out.

Meant to post back earlier but I was too busy playing the game. It's pretty fun, but I can understand if the same people who are going of heresy already want to deem it a 'horrorshow'. Anyways, figured I would register to give people good news but I see that y'all are all just EA haters at heart and stuck on the thought that this game is trash, so I think I'll be going. It's just a shame I won't be around whenever you try the game for yourself and have to eat your words... Yes the game may have a few problems, but overall it is a good game and worth playing over TS2.
Ahh, the use of the word "haters". So revealing. A word that didn't exist when I was a 12, and a word that tends to be used by fanboys & fangirls when anyone dares to criticise their favourite whatever <insert "Leave Britney EA alone" macro here>.
As I already pointed out, we know the good stuff - that's what EA's marketing department has been telling us for ages. We want to hear the rest of it, the stuff EA tried to gloss over or sweep under the carpet.
Ttech, you'll have noticed that there are quite a few player reviews in this thread (including generally positive ones, like the one phyllis just posted immediately above this post) and you'll also have noticed that YOU are the only person copping flak for their review. Why? Because the other reviews in this thread - even the positive ones - don't try to hide the fact that there are flaws in the game.
Take off your rose-coloured glasses and step into the real world. No game is perfect, no game can be perfect. Stop trying to convince us that the game is virtually flawless, because nobody here is naive enough to believe that.

@ Zazazu, did you see the father? Just wondered where those cheeks come from. Maybe she will grow to a descent teen? Hopefully.
