I'll never understand this religion. If you don't like it: don't bother with it.
Simple as that.

I keep getting told that I'd love Sims 3 if I just understood that I'm not supposed to play the game the same way as I played Sims 2. I enjoy my play style--rotating families in houses I built for them and decorated for them, in a neighborhood I designed for them. When I try to explain this--or when I bothered--I get told, "Well I never built houses/played any family but a particular Maxis-made family/played any family past the second generation", etc. etc. with a strong sub-text that I was playing wrong all this time and I should just straighten my thinking out and do it the One True Way.
In Sims 2 if you wanted to play the way I do you could, if you wanted to play any other way, you could. With Sims 3 you seem to be channeled into one playing style. Why the hell should I bother with it?
This - if you like playing with one family, Sims 3 is probably going to be fine for you. If you don't, well, be seeing ya.
J. M. Pescado:
If all you want to do is play enforced Legacy-style, Sims 3 is fine for you. If you want to play an entire neighborhood, or anything like something you may have done in Sims 2...well, it's AwesomeMod or forget about it, because with the stock rules, playing more than one house is basically impossible, given that the game will absolutely DESTROY anything you leave in its care.

My PC was upgraded last month, after which Windoze needed to be reinstalled. If I want to play Sims 2 ever again, I first have to reinstall the whole thing. >9000 EPs, stuff packs and probably patches too. I don't think I'm feeling up to it right now. ::)
I'm in a similar situation.
My hard drive needed to be replaced about two months ago, so I would have to reinstall The Sims 2 if I wanted to play it. Eh. As much as I do, I think I'm going to move on to The Sims 3 for the time being and hope it gets better. At least I still have TS2, just in case I do decide to go back. (And from the way things are shaping up, I just might.)
MadameUgly:
While I enjoy looking at some of the silly things sims3 offers (like stealing candy from toddlers, that's hilarious) I have NO desire to own it.
The thought of starting over with sims3 makes me think of those crazy folks who (after having raised their kids to adulthood) deside to squeeze out one more baby. WHY?! I have my sims2 game just the way I like it. I just installed AL and M&G and everything is *knocks wood* going well. And if I do have an issue I know where to go to help find answers.
Sims3 (as it is now) doesn't have anything new to offer. If I want weird looking sims, I can play the PS2 version of Sims Castaways. If I want a GAME (collecting seeds and all that stuff) I can play Animal Crossing (for DS) or Castaways. And if I want a litle of everything (GAME and "playing dolls") I can just fire up my new sims2 neighborhood and work on my Build a City Challenge (or get back to my neglected stories).
It will take some really interesting expansion packs to make me open my wallet for Sims3.
