As a means of getting into computer games I've been debating on my picking up The Sims 3 for the past little while. I loved the SimCity series but I've never actually played any of The Sims games. Still, I think they would be up my alley if I just gave them a chance :P

Is anyone playing The Sims 3 at all? Mind giving me some reasons to purchase it? :] I saw someone play it once and was really interested. But what's new and exciting this time around?

Having actually been able to play it a fair bit now, messing with the Sims is fun, and it's pretty entertaining to attempt to recreate people, but the most fun I've had so far is probably just messing around with house construction. Here's a familiar one:

My only major problem was that I didn't remember how the bathroom looked at all and didn't feel like looking around for pictures. That'll probably be something I should get soon when I play '64 again...
