Sims 3 vs Sims 2
I was wondering whether it was worth buying the sims 3 for mac. Does it include everything all the sims 2 programs had. For instance, I was thinking of buying nightlife, university, and vacation for sims 2. Does sims 3 have features where you can go out places and/or go on vacation, etc. b/c I'm not sure whether I should ust stick w/ the expansion packs or buy the sims 3

The Sims 3 has a fixed number of shops in the town and a few public areas such as parks, beaches, a gym, a library, and two swimming pools. Shops are "rabbit holes", meaning that Sims go inside and you get a menu to buy stuff, but you don't get to see what's inside.
So, in terms of the town, The Sims 3 is actually LESS customisable than The Sims 2. Also, vacations and university are not available. (It is of course entirely possible that such an expansion packs may be released in the future, but don't hold your breath.)
The Sims themselves are more customisable in that you can have custom colours for just about everything, but the ability to create custom content is limited.
Other aspects of gameplay also differ between the two games. For example, in The Sims 3, Sims have traits instead of the personality points in the older games, and these allow for more complex personalities. Moods are handled by moodlets instead of the Aspiration Meter. The way careers work also differ.

Overall, I'd say The Sims 3 is pretty good, but if you already have The Sims 2, you might be disappointed by some of the changes. If you're into building community lots with shopping, it might not be such a good idea. However, if you're interested in creating Sims with more interesting personalities, it would be worth it.

honestly, sims 3 isnt much different from sims 2. you can customize everything on sims 3 but there's no vacation spots, or university.
