Getting used to Sims 3 was a gradual warm-up for me too. In the beginning I was having fun exploring the new gameplay functions, but I hated hatedhated the Sims' look. Then I made a deliberately ugly family, the Throttlewoods, and they were so much fun to play, I started liking the game for real. After practicing plastic surgery on innocent premades, I little by little started learning the potential of the different sliders. Eventually, I could make Sims that at the very least resembled my idea of my characters. :)
Phil is definitely NOT breeding material. He's been so mistreated and deformed in CAS, he makes kids that look like the Bayless family. In Sims 2, Maikana is basically the female version of him, minus the nose, so I thought I could just gender-flip him to have a base to make her from. Ugh, no! The eyes worked, but the rest of Maikana had to be remodelled from scratch!
I love the kitties in both games, and in Sims 2 I way prefer cats to dogs. With Sims 3, I like them about the same. :) They've got so many cute and fun animations.
