they've finally decided to expand from just being in one house? bout time.
I remember the days when i heard they were gonna expand into whole neighbourhoods when they were releasing the URBS (uuuurgh...)
So yeah, for me this sounds almost promising, i don't often play the Sims games because really they just ended up taking up space and doing nothing.
But that doesn't mean i don't bother to at least see what the games are like.
not having heard a huge amount on this i'll have to look into it a bit more before i could make an almost valid opinion but what i have seen doesn't look too over the top, Graphic-wise which is good, Sims has developed a certain style and it'd be wrong to screw with it too much.
The Personalities are being worked on, which couldn't hurt in all honesty, the more they can cram into their characters AI the better, although it'll someday arrive at that point where The Sims will become over-expensive tamagotchis only they'll be perfectly able to look after themselves, like when you train your creature too much in the first level of Black and White 2 and every level after that you only have to teach it how to kill, after that it's set for life.
And again, they're expanding to being in an entire neighbourhood, which can't be that bad, i've always wondered what the Sims were actually doing when you phone them up, and now with this system plus the added personality traits, you'll be able to actually see their responses happening, makes it so much more interesting.
Effectively they've merged The Sims and Sim City together.
At least that's how i'm planning to look at it.
