it is missing alot of items like a hot tub, diving board and others, although this is probly the best sims game yet, with just those couple of complaints. I love the whole open roming town, but i wish u could see inside ur work and other jobs on the map, some pretty cool cars in here, and the bikes are pretty neat, i've been a fan since the Sims 1 and this definately is the best sequel to date, still some bugs, like every other time i try to place a house, the game says processing and basically locks up, hopefully EA will put out a patch for that! I give the sims 3 5 out of 5, because it's been out a week and i'm still hooked!
