Still planing with TS2 anyone ?

And, IMO, the design tool is overrated. It made creating a house incredibly tediously slow, although it is fun if you're in a particularly creative mood.
I'm glad I'm not the only one who thinks so.
I've given TS3 several tries (I'm halfheartedly poking around in it again nowadays, but it still fails to capture my attention) but I just can't seem to get into it. TS2 however is something I always come back to. I tend to play in cycles, with frenzied playing being followed by months where I don't touch the game at all and do other stuff, but that's more to do with my attentionspan than the game. Considering how much I still play TS2, it's actually been a better investment than most games I buy, which get played through once or twice and then thrown into a box somewhere.
MaximilianPS:
there is another important things in which TS3 FAIL... the voices !
the sounds are important, because they interact with the player in a subliminal way, you can love or hate a character, just 'cause you like how his voice sound, and TS3 fail in this too >:(

I tried TS3 for about a week when it was first leaked, but it didn't immediately grab my interest like TS1 and TS2 did. I'm sticking with TS2 for the time being, possibly for good. :) I started my current neighbourhood in 2005 and it's still a huge work in progress. I play extremely slowly and like Lum, still have a ton of things I haven't tried.
I had thought I'd love the design tool on TS3, but it turned out to be extremely frustrating. I like building my own houses, but I guess part of the fun for me is matching up weird, useless Maxis wallpapers and floors with even weirder, useless Maxis furniture. TS3 has too much choice!
Also, while TS2 only has two bodytypes and four hair colours, I think TS3 sims still look more alike than TS2 sims. *shrug*

To get Ambrosia some sim in every household you play has to get seriously into fishing and gardening.
Hardly. There are ways to mass-produce goods and distribute them about that AwesomeMod has made painless and easy. Once you have ONE group of sims capable of doing it, you pretty much have an unlimited supply.

QFT. The design tool makes it too hard to make a room look like a real room. In real life, if you design a red themed room, not every single piece of furniture is going to be the exact same shade of red. You have to go with what's available from the shops. Of course you can mix it up a little in TS3 too, but that requires a lot more work. It's a lot easier to just reuse the same colour, like what was advertised before TS3 came out (camo EVERYTHING!!!). So, yeah, the design tool is just too much for me. I like to decorate but I can't be bothered spending an hour on a single room trying to make the colours appear random and realistic. With TS2, I just grab some furniture in a slightly matching colour and plop it down.
