OK, so why would I want this mess?
Lerf:
Having been invited, oh so politely, to fuck off and die on N99 for not joining in the cheering section for Sims 3, someone give me some reasons to not think it's a total waste of hard drive space.
I have gathered from this forum that:
You're stuck with balloon faced Sims. And second generation Sims are even worse.
You're stuck with nasty dead-looking eyes. (About 80% of my reason for thinking I'm going to hate this. All I can think of when I look at them is a Victorian porcelain doll in a horror movie. You know the one that tries to strangle the hero the minute s/he falls asleep.)
The Story Progression Toggle is either borked, not borked, or works for a while and then stops.
You can only run one family at any given time because the game will randomly delete them if you run any other family. This problem is either fixed or not fixed by aforesaid SPT depending on whether it's borked on purpose or not.
Most of the game consists of chasing all over the open concept neighborhood collecting stuff which has no use in the game other than display.
Relationships are either too easy to make or too hard. Or both at once.
All public areas are rabbitholes.
EA has given TSR some sort of perk which has allowed them to make their own content creator. (Which accounts for a good chunk of the remaining 19.56% of the reason I'm avoiding this turd.)
So. Anyone want to address the .44% that still thinks I might buy Sims 3 once the price drops to $1.98 US.

While I suspect this thread will be nuked, I'm curious exactly why you think the above is true.

I am on N99 and I am definitely not a cheerleader...yet no one has told me to leave. They do have a rosy view there but my guess is things will be different after they play the final game. Some people just want to believe it will all be okay...or maybe they have different expectations. I must admit, I actually feel a bit sorry for some of them. When their Sims spawn random babies, or they can't find an acceptable female for their Sim son, or all their hard earned inventory items disappear because they switched households, or their other family moves away, they will be ranting as well, begging modders to fix the problems. Disappointment can be very difficult and I fear some of them are going to feel pretty bad in a couple of weeks.

waste of HDD space? seriously?
go arr it and all youll be loosing is bandwidth...which could be used for some porn i guess but still.

From this: "Welcome to The Sims 3 Workshop
"The Sims 3 Workshop" is a Custom Content Tool developed by The Sims Resource for use with The Sims 3. Our goal is to give artists the same level of freedom to create new content for Sims 3 as they could for Sims 2, including new objects, clothing, hair etc.
Development of the tool started as soon as we returned from our week at EA in January for the Creator Camp. Since then we have made good progress with the tool, especially in the areas of importing and editing in a 3D environment, and splitting creations into channels to allow for items to be fully compatible with "Create a Style" in the game.
Our development will be quite public, inviting support and input not only from our staff artists but from the entire community. We plan to provide a plug-in compatible environment and encourage others to help make the Workshop a useful and productive tool for both artists and players alike.
"The Sims 3 Workshop" is being developed professionally and as such will have an EULA which will be flexible enough to protect artists work while allowing creations to be distributed via any means, be it free, donation or subscriber/pay.
For the latest development info check out the News & Updates page, to join in with technical or process discussions, visit our Workshop Forums."

Although they do not say anything about EAxis helping them, the rumor is that EAxis is assisting them somehow.
