I have a question for you folks who were lucky enough to find the game available in your local store, or had UPS randomly deliver it to your door.

I've been seeing comparisons of Sims 3 game play with other games like Harvest Moon or Fable 2 (minus the fighting of course). Have any of you seen similarities?

Combining the idea of Sims with either of these games wouldn't bother me in the slightest, since I enjoy them both.

(I don't enjoy Fable 2's endless stream of bugginess...but that's another story.)

Ooo, I'd like to see the responses as well. I'm perfectly at home with Harvest Moon, so that would be kinda fabulous.
