For now, the lack of stuff will make it seem like a step back to anyone with a whole boatload of stuff on The Sims 2, but The Sims 3 really does improve alot. Almost most importantly, EA seems to have noticed the want for customization and matching. You can style almost anything in alot of ways. There's some things that are steps back, like the Sims not getting into cars, and the lack of stuff versus The Sims 2 and everything available for it now may make the game seem unfinished, but that's grabbing at straws. You feel more immersed with the whole town being loaded and the whole world going on around you versus just one lot (with either fog or poorly detailed blurry blocky buildings in the background), and the time of day subtly changing (rather than either just day or night) adds to the immersion, and the graphics themselves are quite a bit better (not as much technically as visually, but it's the latter that matters anyway).
I'm not even a heavy player of the games and I disagree with your "skip this sequel" comment.

I'm just basing my opinion from my sister who is hardcore addicted to the series and has sims 2 with every expansion/content pack and tons of mods & custom content and as well as sims 3.
She was insisting to me that sims 3 had pretty much no improvements, no matter how much i repeatedly questioned her on if she was maybe downplaying the improvements of the sequel.
