Weekend content is always a plus.

I still find the Sims creepy and soul-crushingly misanthropic, but I totally know that "scared of the outdoors" guy with the party hat.

Never played Sims 2 because it seems depressing and grim to watch your sims live out their entire lives and die in a matter of hours... Seems Sims 3 is the same but at least they turn into ghosts?

Hope the game is not as heavy as The Sims 2 when it was released.

I kind of got bored with The Sims a long time ago, but this one has me interested again.

Remember I played Sims 2 for a weekend and then never played it again. Despite what people say I don't find much replayability in The Sims and some furniture and stuff isn't enough to make me go back.

I really hope they add an optional ending to this game or one of the future sims. Since you could make your characters live forever in Sims 2, the game would never end...fun for some people but for me it's kinda like: "What's the point?"

i am HYPED for this game. I love the new look of the sims a tad bit more real while keeping the style and plenty more options so there isnt always a genericv "sim'" look

Now EA can reboot all their expansion packs. The Sims 3: Holidays, The Sims 3: Pets etc.

No, really, this game actually looks interesting.

So is Will Wright not working on this one?

It seems a little 'dirty' to call it "The Sims 3" if Will Wright is no longer a main part in making it.

I hope it's a worthwhile sequel anyway.

Thanks to Demo Derby, I've rediscovered @drewbert's love of extreme close-ups.
