i second that. there are about 8 add-ons, all costing too much for what they offer. i see kids crowding round add-on packs in GAME for the sims in shops, while i stand in the lonely PC corner, watching a small gang of boys with eyes set on the featured GBA SP in the showcase type stand thingy. a lot still stay faithful to the PC, but what intimidates console users from jumping from PS2 to PC is the control method. time and time again i hear people complaining that it's too complicated to handle a mouse and a keyboard. well, maybe it IS for them, because their brains can't handle it. heck, i can remember playing half-life uplink with the arrow keys on my dads' old PC, and it was hard as hell. now i can play this keyboard as if i was mastering it for decades, with the mouse like a co-pilot, telling the keyboard where to go an' stuff.

sorry if i got side-tracked from the overall topic.......

nah, a game doesnt NEED 3d, unless it's a modern FPS or RPG. Personally i think 3d is just a luxury. quite a few games survived without it, because they did a GOOD job with the visuals.

The Sims was enjoyable abut 3 years ago when it was released.

Now its old, and been ruined by countless add-on packs.

I for one, won't be purchasing this so-called "sequel"

NO! NOT MORE RUBBISH POLLUTING THE PC SECTION! What a let-down. The Sims is rubbish, Tedious, Boring, Monotonous and pointless. It is unchallenging, campy and strange. And are there any sane people who likes The Sims?...no. All we need is a new version. NO! GARRGH!

No doubt there'll be lots of useless new objects like a personal mp3 player to replace the stereo, and such rubbish.

The Cubes getting some special Sims. Joy.

Benefit? None, except it'll sell millions and pollute this world even more.

That last ones not a benefit really.

With 4 different angles. if that really makes sense.

But how is 3d going to benefit the sims?

The console version was, but the PC Sims is plain old 2D isometric.
