Unfortunately, EA was not yet in a position associated extras like. The great vehicle to provide. So you are from, inter alia, money for what you get later not delivered at all ... an interpretation of this process will save me.
Pro:
+ Is very good, the "open" neighborhood, where you visit another perk neighbors or just go for a walk may
+ Also are known stuttering and graphic error from Sims2 past
+ Diagonal placement of objects is possible as well as "between" the usual grid of 4
+ Interactions very well done and also the "new" ways with certain characteristics of his Sims to perform a unique conversations, evaluates the game on
+ "Opportunities" and individual requirements, depending on the job of each Sims or their preferences
+ All in all a great derivative of Sim2 in terms of the basic game mode
Cons:
- Public buildings etc can not be entered
- Established properties, which were already included in Sims2, suddenly missing
- All mieserabel the building mode has failed. So lacking not only the diagonal element pool or two-story windows, doors, columns etc, but also free-standing stairs, elevators - all familiar objects and building possibilities from Sims2! Who had fun building in Sim2, is this absolutely lose in Sims3. Although you can actually create every imaginable color environment - but one lacking this simply the various objects.
Conclusion:
Overall, it can be summarized that the gaming operations improved compared to Sims2 and thus a great step forward has been made. Structurally, which is very close to my example. At heart, but there are two steps back. The decor with different (same color) objects left to be desired and the really meaningful objects from Sims2 one searches in vain.
A further includes, by definition, at least the contents of the previous version - except for EA, there reserved to itself - after typical American fashion - more sales by objects are simply shipped back to paid addons.
It is certainly not far-fetched if one suspects that the next four addons already finished and only waiting for their release - why sell a product when you can earn 4x revenues with the same content. (Ironic end)
This can be most missed if you wait with the purchase until all (addon) versions of content are back at the level of the previous version. How spends his playfulness with the existing versions until then, each itself remains'
