I have Sims 2 and really enjoy it. Be aware, Maxis tries to suck you in by releasing a new expansion pack every month or so for about $30. If you're just wanting to get into The Sims series now, I'd wait a few weeks, and pickup Sims 2 and the expansion packs. They'll probably have the prices slashed significantly, and may even be re-relased as a completed boxed set (it happened with the original Sims game). There are some things I don't like about Sims 3, and to be honest, I don't want to shell out for a whole new round of expansion packs, I think I'll be sticking with Sims 2 for a long while at least.
