No terrain tools, no pools? Only two empty lots? No normal jobs? I'm a big fan of The Sims but they've taken out a few too many features here. It seems like the series is getting more and more into the realm of fantasy with each expansion. I wanted a game where you could simulate and control virtual people's lives. Sims 1 and 2 were perfect. The fun for me was in making relatively believable people and putting them into hilarious social situations (like grandpa making out with his young trophy wife as his grandkids react with sheer horror). If every sim is an astronaut, rockstar, or some other kind of unusual occupation, and everyone has weird sci-fi tech in their house that makes no sense to the setting of the game, then you totally lose the fun of simulating your own nightmarish vision of suburbia.
