Ya that's pretty much it. My wife has ordered me to get it for her. She's a teacher so she plans on spending her summer playing it. There's an iphone version as well. I read a review of it and it said your life goals are determined by what kind of a person you are. Apparently if you decide to be a creep one of your life goals is to watch 3 couples having sex through windows. Damn near bought it right then and there. Alas, I'll be getting it for Mac.

Sims 2 was extremely fun, I can't see Sims 3 taking any steps back. I loved the house building engine, and all the customization options.
This game is fun, but beware, it's extremely addicting.

Didn't play it very much when Sims 1 came out. However, in my Sims family, I remembered the wife was cheat on the husband, so I had a "dungeon" built into the family home and trapped the other man inside the room, and removed the door. He slowly starved to death and I sold the urn that appears when a character dies

That made me laugh pretty hard. I'm going to pick this one up tomorrow I think. I think I'm going to make my character super slutty.

I'll probably pick it up in the next few days and make a old man who yells at everyone to get off his lawn  .

I devised a whole social experiment in the first Sim game.
I put a guy and girl in a house together, I took away any means of exit or entrance. So they sat on seperate chairs and watched T.V. all day. So I took away all the chairs except one and they wouldn't sit together. So fine, I took away the T.V. and they started wandering around in different rooms refusing to talk to each other. So then to get mean, I moved the toilet to the middle of the living room. He'd use it, but she'd just do her business where ever.
So then to force them to have sex, I took away all the furniture except for one bed, but she refused to crawl in with him, she moped around and whined.
So then I got sick of him, I walled him up in the living room, now she took an interest as she listened to him whine and cry until he died.
Then I took all of her kitchen stuff away and watched her starve to death.

I'm loving the ability to have cars...

Normally, I play this game for a couple days then never use it again. I just cheat to get a lot of money, build a big house, make them live in it, then get tired of it. This one however, is more involving, and I played it until my character became the leader of the world.

I am actually very very impressed with Sims 3. It does a lot of things that the others didn't. For example, the current Sim (Jake Jacobson) makes a living entirely from fishing and gardening which I find really neat in contrast to the Sims and Sims 2 where you pretty much had to have a job and do the regular work thing. Also, new stuff is that the entire city is open to wander around in and there are no loading screens that were the bane of players in the first two games. You can go to the gym, bookstore, restaurants, grocery store, graveyard, fishing holes, parks, universities, other businesses, etc. Much more open and free to do what you want.
The Sims 3 has really sucked me in where the first two didn't really. I played and enjoyed the first two but they didn't really engage me as much as I would have liked.
I would definitely recommend it.

Yeah, I wasn't sure if I wanted to spend money on this but after downloading it(there's no demo and I don't buy games before I try them) I'm actually considering picking this one up. There seems to be alot more depth to it than the past ones and like you said you have more freedom.

Those with an interest in Sims should check out this blog: http://aliceandkev.wordpress.com/
It's the ongoing story of two homeless Sims. Quite an interesting story so far, ranges from very funny to surprisingly sad.

Best Sims mass murder method of your neighbours: Get them all over for a house party and into the pool; then remove the little ladder to get out. Watch hilarity ensue.
