Does anyone else feel like we're heading towards Sims City, as if the two franchises are merging? All we need is an EP to come along where you can contol the budget of the neighbourhood as a whole, then we'll be there.
In some ways I'm intrigued. It is going to be completely different, setting up families and letting them get on with life. Or concentrating on just the one family (or person, since family members will go out or grow up and leave home and then you won't be able to keep such a close eye on them).
Mind you, it is wierd at the moment in Sims2 - I've got childen dying of old age before their grandparents. But at least you keep ultimate control over EVERYTHING!!
I guess I'm mainly worried about the unknown, but there does seem to be a much bigger shift in gameplay than there was from Sims to Sims 2. And I have seen what happened with SimCity Societies.
