sims 2 v.s. sims 3

Sims 3:
i bought the game 2 days ago, though i think it's better than sims 2 it lacks many things that sims 2 has that this game dose not.

leading you to download massive amounts of custom content in items and objects for the game.

this is manly the art, music, tables chairs, LIGHTS, though they have a nice lighting touch some are just... so... God awfully Ugly i can't even place them in my house and i gotta download better lookin lights.

sims 2 came with more items than you really needed and they looked a whole lot better than some of the things in sims 3.

like the statues, paintings, Lights. TEXTURES. the textures in the sims 3 looks almost unreal to a point, though the hard wood flooring is very nice. and has a calming look with low lighting. and the stone wall textures like in the sims 3 Jam sessions i posted while ago.

but this makes me like sims 2 better than sims 3. 'Loading time'

to get into game from start up to game play least 2 mins. or less for me.

sims 3 from start to game play 6 - 8 mins.

this all about the loading.

the lack of animation in  the sims 3 really disappoints me... 1st of all lets start small and work the way up to the bigger stuff.

the game consoles and computers in the game play mode; No act of picking up the controller, sitting down to play the game with the controller in your hands.

the computer is broke he doesn't turn it around...  just jabs it making it look worse.

CARS. your sim wants to go to work, in sims 2, 1st he walks to the car 2nd opens the door and turns it on. 3rd backs the car out of the drive and drives off. then the cars disappears. which is suppose to happen.

sims 3.. they skip every single step... all he dose is drive down the road.

then stupid sims... in 3... they are the N.P.Cs whom get knocked out and starve to death because they can't act on there own.

sims 3 main menu v.s. sims 2 main menu:

the sims 2 main menu is really easy to use, you start the game an haza, the menu pops up showing you the towns already made and custom towns ready to be made. you just click and your there.

sims 3: main menu, start the game you see ONLY the houses that you have made. click it and takes you though that ungodly 6 minute loading frame. then you arrive at your house.

to switch houses in sims 2: click the menu button the 3 dotted button and then click the back to neighborhood and you look for the house  you wanna switch too.

sims 3... click the 3 dotted button BUT then click edit town... then do you some type of funky crap then click on the house you wanna switch to. after that you get a guilt message saying something about not leaving your sim... and losing the wants..

they put more effort into sims 2 than 3, all sims 3 has is the graphics and music. if they added the graphics, way to fix up your house,  go to town and scrolling around the place in the sims 2...

if i had to rate the sims 3 game it would be a 6/10

1 point being for loading time, that should take up all 4.... but 1 for loading,

1 point for lack of a great deal of stuff.

1 point for menu complexity, and time it takes to change to another sim on the same world.

1 point for the game is on STEAM...  this also should take up a another 3 points... but not today.

all in all it's a great game but needed way more work
