I am the centre of the universe: reason no. 85

The Sims 3 has been delayed until August because I am not even close to being mentally ready for it yet. I'm just that important. *snicker* The ego has landed.

Seriously, though, this wouldn't bother me in the least, and I think they should delay it to fix their countless, countless bugs, if they do exist (and, let's face it, they most likely do). However, I do feel bad for people who were getting really excited about it, and even pre-ordered it. *consoles cindyanne1* There, there. It will be okay.

I wonder if it's true? Seems likely to me. They delayed Spore for ages, didn't they?

That's what I thought too. They were supposed to make it easier to recolor stuff in the game, that's what they said too! But I guess, they forgot to add "as long as you only use the patterns included with the game".

To be fair, meshing is not easy with the Sims 2 either. The game doesn't have an option to import or create objects, like we have with Bodyshop and the other program to make terrains and walls, and if we have so many neat options, it's thanks to the work of the geniuses from SimPe.

But the Sims 3 seems even more limited at the moment. Just one neighborhood, no options to import SC4 terrains (say goodbye to desert towns like Strangetown!), no options to make recolors of clothing or terrains. You can bet this delay is going to fix all that stuff!

The gameplay sounds neat, though. At least some elements I've read about. So I guess the Sims 3 will be a good title to play, but not to create or customize. At least not now.

Yes, of course, but with all the buzz about how better the customization system supposes to be, plus the camp and all the show, I imagined it would be more open for improvement than sims 2. Lets just hope something like simpe its even possible, if the game itself won't have a way to add new items to it.

Still my biggest problem is the way those hideous sim look (which hopefully could eventually be be fixed with CC or something), but aside for quality, i can't personally see anything outstanding on it, at the contrary, sounds very limited in most aspects and toooooo realistic for my taste! (wish they are planing to add some fantasy on the way, but doesn't look like either.)

With these games, I would suspect someone would create something similar to SimPE for Sims 3. I hope so, anyway. If they are limiting what we can do, I hope someone finds a way around it.
