I'm absolutely loving Showtime. It probably helps that I have not *yet* been hit by any major bugs. I adore Starlight Shores as a town, it's my favourite since Sunset valley. I really like the landscaping and layout, the locals seem to be full of great gossip, the new professions are full of cute animations, and the clothes are *lovely*. The things that annoy me about it so far are actually the things that were added in patch 1.31 - constant queries about sharing memories etc. One of the nicest things about Sims 3 (for me) is the immersive nature of it - constant pop-ups and reminders to log in are more of a distraction and annoyance than anything. But I like the scrapbooks, and I quite fancy getting a couple of badges, so I might grind it for a while anyway (I've got no friends on Sims 3 official page, so I'm not annoying anyone with updates except for myself).
