Sims 2 or 3?

[Smangii]

Only played Sims 1 and 3. Loved the simplicity of one, and love the complexity of 3. I can't see myself downgrading to Sims 2 unless you give me a proper reason to What does it have that the Sims 3 doesn't?...

I believe the sims 3 already has cars, and you're right, pets are coming.

I prefer 3 over the others simply because it appeals to me more. I love the customization of the furniture, walls, clothing, etc. that 3 provides and I never found that in 2 or 1.

Why couldn't pets be in the base game The Sims 3?

• The Sims had The Sims Unleashed. It's about time The Sims had pets and is completely understandable.
  
• The Sims 2 had The Sims 2 Pets because somewhere EA forgot about The Sims Unleashed when The Sims 2 was in development so an expansion pack was released.
  
• EA still couldn't get it right for The Sims 3 so yet another expansion pack for pets has to be created.

Really?!?
1. It's call making money.
2. I don't have the Sims3, but I can guess the base game was already loaded with stuff that thay couldn't add pets yet.

There's a difference between being a sellout and making money. Plus I'm just very disappointed that EA would create the same expansion pack for all three Sims games. There's nothing original about it after the first time.

To be fair, the way Sims 3 is handling pets is almost like an entirely new game. You can literally play AS the pets, create there own stories, etc...

That should have been there right from the get-go.

they each have their pros and cons.

I like the seemlessness of transitions from lot to lot, I also like some of the gameplay and building options. I don't like how you can't make custom clothing like you could in TS2. Also, I miss University and Open to Business from TS2, I hope soon, TS3 will have those options.
