Why I Have Already Uninstalled The Sims 3

[rainne]

I do not care for uninterruptable Legacy-style play. I get bored with only one family for ages and ages, and I want to play other families.

But when I leave a family happily lounging about on the second day of pregnancy only to return to find that the unborn child is now a TODDLER that I didn't get to name, see born, or ANYTHING, that makes me ANGRY.

After six hours of gameplay, I have uninstalled the sims 3, and I will not be reinstalling it.

Also, be aware, if you bought the digital download from the EA store, it has SecuROM malware DRM on it. Also, there is some evidence that the Download Manager which installs with the disk version may also have SecuROM on it.

Thanks for nothing, EA.

(Oh, there are other reasons, too. Like the unintuitive menus; the uniformly ugly hairstyles for men; the fact that sim customization is not only not as good as we were led to believe, but also not even as good as TS2; the inability to create custom neighborhoods... but coming back to that family to find that child already born was the straw that broke this camel's back.)

That really sucks that you hate the game so much! I'm loving it. :-\ But I've read a lot of reviews on TS3 and it seems to be the kind of thing where you'll either LOVE it or you'll HATE it. Not many people feel "in-between"...
