I don't know about this one, there are some features I like (personality traits, seamless neighborhoods) and some features that I dislike (the recoloring system, do you really need to be able to make a camo print chess table?). I'll probably try to wait it out and see what other people think of it. I've been considering installing it on my laptop and only playing, no downloading or cc (when it becomes possible), because with the sims 2 i hardly ever play, i mostly decorate, and I kind of miss actually playing
