The Sims 2 Vs. The Sims 3
Eeyore:
Doesn't evil affect criminal/evil branch career performances?
J. M. Pescado:
Yes, but that's what we file under the category of "minor irrelevant effect", since the evil trait does not actually ENABLE that, as anyone can do it. It has to actually produce a real change. Like Green Thumb improves gardening, but this is an irrelevant minor effect because it is not required for gardening: However, it ALSO allows the ability to resurrect a plant, which means Deathflowers can actually be farmed. That *IS* a relevant effect, because it enables something that was not previously possible.

and the traits are just a couple of extra animations or underwhelming features (like evil Sims getting "take evil nap" option that looks identical to normal nap) anyway (correct me if I'm wrong.)
You should read The Sims Wiki's list of traits and see if it changes your mind. I find they are more varied than the personalities of TS2 were. Plus, with Awesomemod, you can have as many (or as few) of them as you want on a sim.
Salomon:
Nobody corrected me about the rabbit holes, which means the open neighborhood is just a gimmick :( (if I send my Sims to the discotheque, I want to see them eat and have a dance, not a "Your Sims Are Having Fun" Load bar filling, or w/e.)
So, if one gives up control and allows families to do their stuff while one isn't playing them, it all comes down to this:

If you want to control a small number of famblies on a somewhat more macro-level than worrying about the tiny minutiae, and would like the rest of the neighborhood to do its thing, Sims3 + AwesomeMod works well for this.
How small is "small"? And what bad stuff would happen if I attempted to rotate a couple hundred families in TS3 this way? (Say, in the time other players play a week in some family, I'd just rotate 7 families and play a day in each).
Neowulf:
You haven't really looked that far into TS3, have you? The majority of rabbit holes are just the workplaces of the Sims. Late Night added a number of different (though not drastically) venues that a sim can go to and socialize however they want to. A Discotheque is one of those venues. And before you jump to conclusions again, there are also professions which allow you to control your sim while they work.
