...

My first thought, honestly, was: How can something be a prequel, or for that matter a sequel, to the Sims?

Then I remembered the families that shipped with the game. For instance, Sims 1 had Mortimer and Bella Goth as adults, and Cassandra as a 6. In the Sims 2, Bella is gone, Morty is an elder, Cassandra is an adult, Alexander exists. (Heh. In my Sims 1 game, Morty and Bella had a boy after Cassandra, and I named him Pugsley. Alexander will always be Pugsley to me.)

I think that says something about EAxis' family-building, that they only rated as an afterthought.

EDIT: Imagine the Bella Goth theories... "If you breed Sim A and Sim B under the next full moon, and then get Sim C abducted, they'll have a little baby Bella! And if you send the mother to the hidden lot, it will be TWINZ!!1!"

A couple of things do attract me to the game. For example, the ability to use all materials on all objects would certainly be a huge improvement on the current situation (think how many fewer downloads will be necessary, if one texture can be applied to all  objects instead of just one).
Have you seen the previews of changing house exteriors and cars, though? It reminds me of the skins we get with Spore. That's a big, fat, DO NOT WANT. They look positively awful.

I suspect the whole "whatever texture you want" will be like the creature creator, where "whatever" is fairly narrowly defined.

Also, this mysterious "sharing" system seems a little dodgy, like they haven't actually worked it out yet.

Looks like the reviewer isn't familiar with TS2 with EPs.
Quote
one welcome change is the ability to match different hair styles to clothes...
TS2 has had that since Seasons.  It's not new.
That was a big WTF? moment for me while reading the article and I immediately began to question the validity of anything this reviewer has to say about the game.

The more I hear about this sequel, the more it sounds like the game will simply play by itself in front of me, like a movie of sorts. If the sims are doing everything on their own in this "seamless neighborhood," then I see little reason for me to even intervene in their lives. In theory, I could just let them go and they would make friends, get jobs, date, marry, have kids and die all on their own. The only interaction I see necessary would be making sure that their curtains matched the rest of their furniture when I first moved a family in a lot.

I honestly went into the article trying to be positive and thinking, "Perhaps it can't be all bad." but I am just as full of DO NOT WANT as I had been earlier. The game is about to launch in less than month and I still have not seen anything worthwhile. The "new" screenshots are not intriguing, we still know very little about actual gameplay and my hypothesis about the only custom content available being filtered through thesims3store.ea.com has yet to be abated.

Yes, but EAxis loves to claim old shit is new. It's all part of their newspeak. Old is new, bugs are features, stupidity is intelligence, and we have always been at war with Eastasia.
You are wrong, or did you not get that memo; we have already won over Eurasia.

I read this as "making sure that their curtains matched the drapes". Ahem.

Examples of the fug:


I have a serious question. Are the designers on any sort of hallucinogenic drugs?

THAT'S what it reminds me of!  I knew there was something.  Sadly, I think the texturing in Spore will look and work way better then what they are planning in Sims 3.

I can say that, at the very least, that the flowers and plants around the house look nice... it'll be nice to be able to construct decent yards with basegame plants.

The patterns, though... bleh!

There are some rumors that it is going to be delayed. I dunno, it sounds like something they would put out anyway and then just release a patch.

Blargh, this game is looking more and more questionable by the day. I honestly think it's going to be a buggy, more unstable, dumbed down version of The Sims 2 (and by that I mean they will slap their "new" AI onto TS2 engine). It reeks of half-ass too. It doesn't appeal to me at all, which is a contrast to when The Sims 2 was first announced and I was ecstatic.

From what I saw on the video, it sorta looks like the Mah-veal-ous new "personality" options only affect idle and walking animations. Like the way the FT hobby animations take over EVERYTHING.

I do have some borderline odd taste (this is my bedroom set..at least the nightstand and dresser), but I know how to match colors. And seriously, there's such a thing as too much pattern.

Food for thought:
"And of course the self installing sims3pack files for houses, sims, pattern presets."

Do they mean that the game will automatically install files without the players permission? Or that when you download a bed or table it will install without you having to push a button?

Self-installing generally means that it works just like the sims2packs - you open the file, and it extracts itself to the folder without you having to place the files manually, so everything goes just where it is supposed to.

The other day I noticed that MTS2 is going to expand to the Sims 3-as if anticipating a slew of very unhappy people who can't stand the textures, houses and other things that are going to be in Sims 3.
Needless to say, MTS2 is going to stay around a while, as well they should, because if the disaster unfolds as I personally believe it will, EA might just have to pull back the game and redo it. It sounds almost unmanageable by any computer or player. It looks half-assed and will be loaded with all kinds of stuff like ads and Securom.
Not enough shiny to make me even think about getting it. I'm looking forward to the nuclear explosion that will happen when it is released and the clouds clear to show all the sheeple at the BBS going into comas because they can't run it.

I... wut.

"I also learned that ghosts are playable, can marry living Sims, and even make ghost babies."

http://thesiddog.com/tag/the-sims-3-creators-camp/

...I'm sorry, but WHAT? A ghost can marry a living Sim and have babies with them.

I have to ask. HOW? I'm imagining a ghost or normal male jacking off inside their normal or ghost partner and hoping they're aiming in the right spot.

So THAT'S what those puddles of liquid that ghosts leave behind are...
