Advice please - do I want console or PC?

[loustar0480]

I am an old simmer from years back whe the original sims game came out, and went on to sims 2 and about 5 of the expansion packs, then I got a full time job and had kids - that stopped my fun!! I'm now looking at quite a long stretch on maternity leave from Christmas 2010 onwards so thought I might like to get back into it. I'd love a copy of Sims 3, but I'm not sure which platform to get it on. I had it originally on PC, and enjoyed downloading and creating custom bits and pieces for my sims, so have always stuck to PC versions. I really love building and kitting out the houses with custom furniture and when I tried sims on PS2 I wasnt impressed - this was before playstation online though! The storylines were better, but too ready made and the missions just annoyed me! My passion really is the custom stuff I guess, and the house building. My question is, how far have the console versions come? Am I likely to be as unimpressed with the PS3 version of Sims 3, or should I give it a go? Or do you think I should stick with the PC version? I don't wanna buy the PS3 version only to have to go out and get the PC version because it frustrates me!

Your comments and advice would be greatly appreciated! (along with prayers that baby doesn't come early and interrupt my gaming, lol!)

Thanks,
Lou
