Feeling like a bit of a chat about creation or just... whatever (not necessarily sims)?
Just installed the Sims 3 patch or about to?

Thanks a lot! But I am frustrated about how much more I notice that it looks exactly like The Sims 2. I don't see any graphic differences (not that I care about graphics) and I immediately think it all could have been The Sims 2 with CC. The landscape isn't that fascinating either. I prefer looking at Strangetown or Pleasantview. This picture looks like it's taken out of a cartoon. |

I think the lightning is much better and give the whole setting a more realisitc look. Could be the scenery itself too. Looks very calm and peaceful, like Tahiti.

I personally adore The Sims 3. As far as I've seen the screenshots they are amazing. I think there are a huge difference in The Sims 2 and The Sims 3. I like the body sizes the most. But ofcourse there are so many things more.Thanks, fireflies for posting that picture. I haven't checked my email for quite awhile and didn't know that I had too received that pic. Thanks again! |

There's a great improvement. It's just not too noticeable unless you compare things side by side (Snooty Sims has a great comparison page...). I think we have to remember The Sims 2 was released years ago, at the time it was graphically an impressive game, but it has kept the same out dated style since while every other game was enhancing. Plus, there's still a lot of time to go... lots of improvements to come I guess! The Sims 3 is kind of like what The Sims 2 should've been, had it been released a year or so later? |

I think it looks pretty good... I'm just sad I probably won't be able to get it because my computer will go caput. I'll have to wait a while I also hadn't seen this before. Thanks fireflies (cute name too)

the game is still a year away. I personally think they're working more on the actual game play mechanics now as opposed to graphics |

Well, so far, I've seen: -Sims can have picnics! I can't wait to see this! -This picture might be taken inside some sort of a park--or outskirts of town. -What's that plumbbob doing there? Is it on top of a building? -There are beaches in TS3! Another whee! Looks like BV might have some elements in TS3! -Some types of plants that we're getting in TS3. We know that elements of Seasons are in the base game, so I guess this is just a drop in a bucket of how much plants we're getting. -The sky FINALLY has clouds--not just a boring blue sky. -I love that there are mountains in the background. Nice picture! Looking good so far! |

I just hope this isn't a bait and switch tactic, and that the picnics are actually in the game. ^^ Also, whee first pic with a child in it.. How cute! (First Pic that I've seen in any case) |

I really hope that beach gives us the option to go for a swim in the ocean. |

I can't figure out how that looks anything like Sims 2, graphically it is extremely advanced. The scenery and seemingly the movement are much more realistic, the foliage is REALLY detailed, the light and the shadow on everything looks almost perfect, there is a vast background that seems to stretch forever, and even the sky looks real. Like you say, it does look like a cartoon, but with good effects, sort of like a modern animated movie. That style doesn't really look like TS2 at all, at least to me. I'm not saying this is better, just I can't see how it looks "exactly like The Sims 2"... Quote:
Definitely possible! It's been said before, but when TS2 was coming out, and EA was dropping pictures and videos, there were a lot of features that were not in the game, or looked nothing like what we ended up getting. So I wouldn't be surprised if the picnic option is nowhere to be found when TS3 comes out. I hope it is though!! |

Technically speaking, we can take a picture of a picnic in TS2 too. Hope it's not the same in TS3 and what's pictured it's actual real, cheat-free gameplay.

I am just hopeing the graphics hold up unlike sims2 ever did. It would be nice to see a picnic ability in the game, i wont hold my breath to any pics we see based on what they pulled with the sims2. One more thing that has been noticed: there seems to be no reflection from the water so far, will have to wait till the game release to see i suppose. |

I agree. I shouldn't be using a cheat to have a picnic. I hope this pic was taken cheat-free, as in no cheats used when this picture was taken. Did I mention how beautiful the mountains and clouds were? :p |

I hadn't seen this photo or the other forum before either, so thanks! The clouds and mountains make it look like The sims world isn't just flat! yay! I won'te have to cheat so badly to get photos to look real! Quote:
Check out the comparison photos at Snooty Sims here: http://www.snootysims.com/thesims3index.php?id=compare There's a huge difference in how the game looks compared to Sims 2. I wasn't into The Sims 3 before seeing the comparisons. And if this is objects in the base game, imagine what great CC will come from the new game. I remember not wanting to switch from The Sims 1, but in the end, i'm sooooo glad I did. Looking at the old screenshots it's amazing I was able to play anything  I'm most excited for the smaller build/buy mode grid. how nerdy is that? I just hate when you have to have things seperated a strange distance to have them be usable.Quote:
No picnic table on either BV or FT boxes...so it's still looking good. | ||

It almost looked like the sims in the background wee holding hands while walking together, but they're not..shame that would be quite cool. Still, it looks like sims can now walk side by side and talk..aswell as the whole family picnic thing. Nice
