I haven't played the PC versions, because I have VISTA and they won't run the older games, but I'm going to preorder 3 for my Vista. I checked my requirements and I can run it (since they're the same as SPORE, lol.) YAY! But yeah, I think it'd be cool if they had it on the consoles. The only thing I'd is that they keep more content in the game, not just take all of it out. (Looking at the Sims 2 [just two] on the XBox and then buying Pets for the PS2 was horrible. They had NO furniture or clothes. -_-)

Then one of the little girls, that lives in the front part of the house, has the Pets on DS and I played and well let's just say it SUCKS! No matter how hard EA would try to make the game worthwhile on a console it still wouldn't be as good as it is on the PC.

speaking of which, i think it's time for microsoft to come up with a mouse for 360 as well. maybe for the next console they will decide to do something similar to wii though?

The sims 2 didn't completely suck, you got to control your characters directly, which I think should return in sims 3 for the other consoles. But I have to agree with you, they watered it down too much. No store, no kids, no second floor, no aging, no cars, no pools, there's just too much missing. That's what makes me mad, I paid as much as anybody else for the sims 2, but a terrible version. It better not happen for sims 3.

Although, it seemed like the game didn't have as high a replay value. However, Xbox 360 has been stepping it up, and with DLC, it'd be fine. Only downside would be no modding, and we all know that they haven't really been implementing things we want, and that's why we mod. The only reason I'd say it'd be better on the 360 is because you don't have to worry about specs, much less lag (hopefully), and local multiplayer. But, other than that, the PC version would most likely be more enjoyable.

Sure they may add new things to it to make it seem cooler, but in reality its to cover up the lack of items that they have. For example the Sims for DS and GBA I've played and it's really stupid. They're just a storyline you HAVE to follow the only choice you have is to pick the story. If they make it for Xbox 360, they need to make sure we can edit walls/floors, keep majority of the Lifetime Rewards, and possibly (they need to do this for PC as well) maybe make seasons or add a feature that the PC doesn't have out

Your first post is to necro a two and a half year old thread on a topic that is now meaningless because Sims 3 was released to consoles last fall?
