I don't even play TS3 anymore, and I understand where you're coming from. The game, on the surface, is an improvement over TS2 - open neighborhoods, an expanded build and buy mode, and a new personality system. But all the things that EA has done to over-capitalize on the game (like advertising store content in-game) and the really awful packs they've come out with have really left a bad taste in my mouth. I don't have as much time as I used to for video games, and in a battle between video games I'm willing to play, TS3 doesn't win.
