Not true. It keeps getting better. There are whiners, and a bunch of people who yearn for the days of old, but to say it's jumped the shark is just plain wrong.
My advice: Plan well, come early (it's an entirely different vibe early in the week, and it takes a couple of days to adjust), and have fun.
It's a pile of wood...STUFFED WITH EXPLOSIVES!!!...seriously. heh...
I actually have a great deal of respect for shuttle launches. Now all you need is a couple hundred fire dancers, a roller coaster with flame throwers and cages for the go go dancers, Dance Dance Immolation (like DDR but they shoot a flame thrower at you if you screw up), a fully mobile country western saloon, and a giant machine that tears itself to pieces over the course of a week and you'd have the start of a real party.
I find it funny that people have such issues with the way sexual orientation is handled in the Sims, but no one questions that in the game sleeping on a more expensive bed cuts the time you need to sleep in half, that eating more expensive food fills you up quicker, or that bathing in a more expensive tub keeps you clean for longer.
Or for that matter, that the only real purpose of friends (at least in the Sims 1) was to further your career.
I'm not going to use the term "bias", as it has become a pejorative (like someone else pointed out), but there is definately an implicit ideology: Happiness is a function of the things you own.
