IGN: The Sims 3 First Hands-on

IGN writes: "I was about 10 minutes into playing The Sims 3 when I realized something quite astonishing: my sims hadn't gone to the bathroom yet. And despite still having virtual bladders, they didn't need to constantly heed the call of nature. Now if you played The Sims and The Sims 2, you will remember that you had to handhold your sims' lives; this includes each and every bathroom break, which seemingly occur every minute or two in game time. That's a lot of flushing. Yet, here I was, at EA, playing The Sims 3 and discovering that what the designers have been promising seems to be true: The Sims 3 is a much broader game than its predecessors, more concerned with telling stories than with focusing on the ordinary minutiae of everyday life.

WHAT??? The toilet was the central concept around which the entire appeal for Sims 1/2 was founded!!!

Will Wright, you have made an enemy today.

Don't think Will Wright is involved with this one, if he is though, I might consider picking it up (as he'd do a better job than EA on its own would).

when sims 1 came out, i thought a sequel was never coming

is playing as your "everyday life" in, if this feature was taken out or was less focus on, the replay value of Sim is no longer in doubt, therefore you will be bore over time
