I agree Finchou 100%. I can't actually play this stock game. I had a hard drive crash recently, reinstalled the game as stock (I normally play with about 40 mods) and realised I'd forgotten how crappy it actually was.
Stick with it though, as Neal and the others have said the modders have made this game great (don't take this as spam telling you to mod! Ive read the thread and know you're going to when you get the chance!)
I just hope (against all reasonable hope) that someone who worked on this game, or someone from ubisoft generally, or in fact any game developer who makes sims reads this thread to see what a mess they've made of the whole genre in recent years.
That said, they already know and don't care - they'll sell more games with eye candy than realism as everyone here knows but I don't want to go over well trodden ground again by going down that route...
