Still planing with TS2 anyone ?
Faizah:
I am playing TS3 these days, but for some reason I just can't get into building as much as I did with TS2. There's no logical reason for it that I can see. There aren't any missing tools that I want, I can't actually put my finger on anything from TS2 that would improve TS3's building, it just doesn't inspire me.
I suppose there's also the fact that TS3 houses don't really need much of anything. Beds, bathrooms, a kitchen. Done. Sims go off lot to skill and gain fun, and they could sleep, shower and eat off lot too. If uncontrolled households didn't need bed and kitchen facilities I likely wouldn't bother at all.
Since WA, I've taken to dumping sims in pre-made houses, slipping a basement under there whenever they needed more room, often with the stairs leading in from outside. Not exactly ideal construction.
As for TS1 vs TS2, there were definitely people who didn't immediately make the switch, we just didn't whinge about it on forums. I didn't get TS2 until NL was out, but I know I picked up TS1 before Livin' Large was released, those 10 little non-aging houses occupied me for hours. I thought it was amazing that Livin' Large added a whole nine other neighbourhoods of identical size and layout, one of them even partially occupied!

I play both of the games. I mostly play TS2 when I want to clown car, as TS2 handles it better. I really find myself missing certain aspects from TS3 while playing, though, like the open hood and the toddler books and the traits.
It seems that most of what people complain about with TS3 is how it's turned from a sandbox type game to a goal-oriented or quest game. Of course, you're not really forced to do any of those things, especially if you've already done it all once. I tend to have characters only complete the things that are fitting with their personalities. Like, I'm not gonna have a couch potato sim go be all athletic running all over the desert going through tombs. And the tee-totaling granny in my hood certainly won't be making or buying nectar during her trip to France!
I think that TS3 is better for story making, if you're into that sort of thing. I'd really love to combine the two games. I'd also like TS2 to not take 30 minutes to load when I want to play it. :P

I was lucky enough to have a friend which borrowed me TS3
Look, I'm not part of the grammar gestapo,

Still love TS2. I had to reinstall after a crash and took extraordinary measures to save my old neighborhoods. There's stuff in TS2 I still haven't done. Like, I'm only now just getting into plantsims and werewolves.
As for TS3, I hadn't played for months until I installed Ambitions. I'm trying to get into it, but I can tell I'll be bored of it soon enough.
What's more, I can't bring myself to care about my sims. I've reinstalled TS3 often and nuke neighborhoods all the time, without shedding a single tear. In TS2, I have an elaborate family tree going on strong since 2006 or so.

It's a brain washing thing. I spent several years at a University that was bound and determined to make me into a High School English teacher despite my repeatedly explaining that my High School experiences had engendered a positive hatred for teenagers. I escaped with a degree in pre-unemployment, but the training still kicks in every so often.
I'm in therapy for it.
