"More fun than stealing candy from a baby" must be the weirdest tag-line for a game ever.

Ew... Was there a reason they made the Sims uglier?

LOL @ More fun than stealing candy from a baby. That is not saying much! Stealing candy from a baby is not fun at all! They cry and make alot of fuss over a little piece of candy that you could've just bought for next to nothing and avoid all the hassle. And besides, it probably has baby slob and poop all over it.

I think that doing chores is more fun than the Sims, mostly because the Sims is a chore disguised as a game except you don't get paid for playing it.

@Death_Burnout: You shouldn't feel like a jerk for saying it looks like Sims 2.5, that's basically what it looks like to me as well. There's really not much they can do to improve the Sims, in my opinion. The basics can't really be changed, they can only be enhanced.

I would've been happy with a sims 2 graphical overhaul. But apparently they're changing way more than that. Somewhat of what they're showing here is that you CAN hop in your car and CAN go wherever the hell you want in the city. Weither it be to the store or to someone's house to steal their childs candy. I'm thrilled at the fact that i could create a house full of hot chicks across the street and just walk over there and meet them  instead of having to wait for them to randomly show up at my house so i can meet them.

Yeah that sums it up well, they've done WTF videos for the sims 2 too...too.

Theres something about The Sims 3 that i can't deal with for some reason, i honestly dont want to sound like a jerk but...it just looks too like The Sims 2.5 for me, and at the same time, looks like a modded version, theres something odd about it that i can't deal with :/

I wonder if I'm the only one who finds the Sims make humanity look like those creepy Duracell robots, dropping the uncanny valley to gut-wrenching new depths.

I played a HELL of a lot of the first Sims and skipped the second one because I was all Simed out.  My craving for the game has returned however, and unless this game is awful (which I highly doubt it'll be) I'm gonna pick it up.

What the hell was that.
That sure grabbed my attention though, I must have looked very stunned when I was watching that video.
The graphics are shitty so people will be able to play it on there shit laptops that play sims 2.
Since when was The Sims about graphics anyway?

What's so hard to understand?  She sneaks around stealing kids' lollipops.  It's not Finnegans Wake.

Any, based on that trailer it doesn't look much like an improvement from Sims 2. I loved me some Sims 2, but I don't think I've seen anything that would make me want to buy a whole new game. The graphics barely look any better.
