So is the game a major improvement over Sims2 like most previews stated? I don't need a point to point comparison, I didn't play the Sims, just "it's alot better" or "it's teh same old shit" will be enough.

Well it all depends on if you just met the sim you want to shag.  |
Well, still, it's not a while, especially if you have some of the special traits for smooth talking. Hopeless romanticians, for example, can make people like them very easily. So you give a few friends "get to know"-s and "chat"-s, invite home, and then bombard with a few admirations, hugs and shy kisses, and woohoo! |

Out of curiosity, what IS the maximum amount of floors you can have? I remember Sims1 only allowed 2 (ground and first) while Sims2 increased that to 3 (ground, first, second) -- what about Sims3?

I think it was 5 floors total - if you make a basement it counts as one. You can easily test it by making a small box with the wall tool in build mode then just making floors on top of it.
You can make pretty damn high hills too, and the height of the ground level doesn't affect the number of floors you can have (you get camera issues if the hill is high enough tho).

Whoa, whoa, whoa.... you can make basements now!? I don't need to do any trickery like having the "basement" as the real ground floor, then building the house on top? I can just cut holes in the ground using the building tools and then have stairs going down?

Actually disregard that - the ground water seems to adjust if you have a ground level basement (it's always below your basement). I think you still need to lay a foundation if you want a basement tho; doubt you can alter the ground with any objects in the way, but in the city build mode you can copy and move the houses you want.
So in theory you could move your house out of the way while you lay a foundation for it, but if you're currently living in it, it's probably too big of a hassle (have to move your char back and forth and there was something about some things getting reset in the process). Of course you could always build an extension for your house in the same lot and have the basement there.

I give up >_>
I guess I'll construct a basement when I build my next house from scratch as it seems to be impossible to move my current house, build a basement and foundation, then put my house back on top.

@Mister_s: Dunno never played the other two for more then a day each, but for some reason this one has just pulled me in. So its "more of the same but also more fun for some reason I cant put my finger on".

I never built my own house before: When I go to create a new story, I have these weird triangles. Deleting them gives me no money back, but when I go into live mode, the walls don't automatically cutaway as they are supposed to. And is building another story as simple as putting flooring down? And where the hell are the spiral staircases?

I agree that this is a pretty neat game for being Sims, but the censor blur is a bit too intrusive in this one. I thought it was ok in the little I played of Sims 2, but in Sims 3 sometimes the whole fucking character is a block of blocks. :/ Aside from that and a few bugs I'm definetely having fun, much more of a game than Sims 2. Read elsewhere that the game resources are lightly encrypted and signed though, which might make modding and using mods a greater pain in the arse than in the second installment.
