Still planing with TS2 anyone ?
J. M. Pescado:
Actually, it's far easier to mod TS3 than TS2. To do some of the stuff I've done in the Pudding so far is basically impossible, like making the buy/build dialogs show USEFUL information instead of utter twaddle.
Lissa:
I played Sims 3 for a couple of months and then gave up. I could not make the sims I wanted to make in the Sims 3 Cas. I like to make sims of my relatives and friends, and populate the neighborhoods with them. I can do that with Sims 2, or at least make sims that remind me of them. In Sims 3, the only way I can make sims look like someone is if the model already looks like a Sims 3 pudding. I also find it boring to play sims that all look like first cousins, at the very least. Combine that with the inferior genetics, and Sims 3 is not interesting to me. Too bad, there are things in Sims 3 I like a lot, but they do not make up for inferior sims.

For me it's the record keeping: you just can't keep records of sims lives in TS3 like you can in TS2. I am a very heavy user of the camera/story-telling facility of TS2. That, and the lack of memories, it's just a pointless game to me with little meaning. I also like genetics and very inter-related neighbourhoods so that's another turn off for TS3 for me. I do like the design aspects and the open neighbourhood though I have not bothered with AM or anything else that would seek to control who gets wiped out when you don't want them to, mainly because I've only played the game twice since I played it in June last year to see what it was like. I get BORED with it very quickly.

In Sims 3, there is supposedly more opportunity for storyline,, but what's the use of storyline if it isn't recorded? I hate them not having memories, and I do understand that memeories were the major cause of corruption in Sims 2--but I still miss them. I use to check them and laugh at what they have done while I was away. Sims 3 is okay as long as it's heavily hacked, but so is Sims2. I want to go back to Sims 2, but I have a bug that is effecting vacations and it's been too long to figure how to fix it. I have Deluxe now and I can't get the hack utility program to work with it. Maybe I'll just live with it and stop taking them on vacation.
J. M. Pescado:
The capability exists to hack in a memory system, if you REALLY want it. Just don't blame me if it chews up your game memory. Feel free start a specific thread to bitch about what you'd like added to the memory system. The question, of course, becomes: What events are worthy of record that are not immediately evident anyway? Do you really need a record of every time Brynne pisses herself?
