Still planing with TS2 anyone ?
buddha pest:
I also played TS3 for only a week or so before going back to my precious.
Haven't kept up with any of the developments or EP news or anything. Are the genetics still subpar? Do the kids still inherit one parent's face or the other? If that's the case, I'll never switch over.
I wish more folks were around for TS2 chit-chat. I always loved lurking The Podium, and Planet K 20X6, and whatnot during TS2's heyday.
J. M. Pescado:
Actually, the way the design tool works, not everything is going to be the same shade even if you use the same base swatch, because what happens is that the thing you choose is overlaid onto a graymap that provides the shading and texturing. A darker graymap thus produces a slightly darker shade of the final outcome.

TS3 doesn't interest me at all. Still love TS2. Still finding new things to do with TS2.

Hair genetics are just about non-existent, but I have had triplets with three distinct faces, so, there's that. I mentioned them on page 2, but here, have a screenshot:
(Middle one resembles CAS-made father a bit, at least with that mouth.)

I do still love TS2 and there are things I miss about it. I especially miss the genetics. They really need to get that down better for a game like this and the sims in TS3 tend to look VERY similar until they reach young adulthood. I hate that. I used to live for my sims in TS2 to reach the teen years to see how they turned out because they were all so different from each other. Plus, the teens were PRETTIER in TS2 - both female and male. In TS3, they all have that exact same look. And forget about the children in TS3 - you can rarely see a difference between male and female at all.
However, while I still have all my TS2 and still have tons of stuff I haven't even tried yet in that game, I haven't played it in ages. 2 big reasons being I don't have a No CD crack/patch for Sims2(WCIF a good one that covers everything?) and the game takes 30 minutes to load.
I love - absolutely love - the design tool in TS3 and that is still the most amazing thing about it to me. While I agree that houses can be tedious to make, what I like to do is: Make the house - furnish quickly - get playing - and then, as time goes by, change room by room as I get inspired. I don't advise completely creating a house right away - it's just too tedious. But soooo much more fun when you do it as you go.
The traits also far outweigh the "personalities" of the sims in TS2, but they lack in their animations and abilities. They should be more fleshed out. I want my sim snobs to walk around with more snobbery and refuse friendships with poor sims. I want my couch potatoes to NEVER exercise, no matter what we tell them, and evil...don't get me started. Ambitions is helping that a bit, but the profession "desires" are getting rather old, rather quickly.
