Yes ZZ My sims are living quite comfortably on my external drive as is all of my custom content. I also had my games installed on another hard drive so all I have to do is reinstall the game then put my sims 2 folder back in. Learned my lesson early on in sims 2 to make multiple backups saved in several places. :cheese:

There is just something about the sims that does not keep me interested. I can’t put my finger on it ether. I can play 3 for an hour or so and it is fun but just a game. Whereas I can play 2 for a whole day and get sad that I have to shut it down and go to bed.

Same here. I have Sims 2 running, right now. I loaded up Sims 3 yesterday long enough to make the, what, 100th attempt at recreating some of my Sims 2 characters, but shut the game down less than 5 minutes after moving them into their house. It's almost depressing. :P
I think ZZ and Doren have a good point with the history not being there. It doesn't feel like the logical next step for the Sims franchise, it feels like a step away from it, with all the old stories gone. :-/

I think what it is for me anyway is Sims 3 sims just don't seem to have any personality.Even with the trait factor they just seem so mundane to me. I have sims2 sims that are downright bull headed about certain things.Dina Caliente hated to make the bed, she would look at me like really, you want me to do what? She would stomp up the stairs and then literally flip the bed covers up, unlike some others who would make the bed and pat the covers and smooth them. My sims have attitudes.

Just happy to know that (for once) I'm not alone!
I thought TS3 might have been kinda cool (liked the idea of the personality traits & such) but when I found out that EAxis even did a way with the memories of all things, I said screw it.
It's bad enough you can only have one family, can't stop the aging, have NASTY looking larva babies & rubbery icky looking Sims...but for the love of all that's holy, why on earth do a way with the memories???
Oh yeah: the Sims is no longer about creativity (as per Rod Humble) it's just a game for 12s.
Stupid me.
Guess all the $$$$ I & the thousands of other over-12s have shelled out over the TS1 & 2 years doesn't mean squat when compared to a @#$% 12 year old with the attention span of a mayfly. :dry:
As for the possible TS4: unless there is a serious intervention (like a hostile take over by Will Wright) I predict that it will be strictly on-line. It's EAxis's wet-dream: no modders, no user made CC, no way to install/play/do anything without them knowing/approving it...and they could charge you every time you launched the game if they wanted to! (I think I hear Mr. Humble getting turned on just thinking about it...)

:lol: That was an excellent summation! ZW, they are targeting the wrong people. Twelves don't have the money and once they're tired of it move on to another game. Serious simmers are a whole nother species altogether and it's our money that's being spent on EPs.
