Man, if you want to torture yourself buy the real iron maiden and spend some time in it.
Forget you have the trash game and buy (and play asap) the sequel.
About disappointment in Ubi games, I had some more than just WD1. For example overrated junk everyone except me is recommending, AC4. I have no idea how that gaming industry atrocity became a bestseller - it's the second worst AC game (on PC).
Another example is Heroes of M&M 7. Unbelievable boredom. 6 wasn't so bad except a couple of maps where trashmobs respawn indefinetly so I've expected more from it. Turned out 7 was just a cheap cash in.
On E3, EA presented Immersive Sim DLC for Sims 4 (okay it's actual title is Island life or something but as it's immersive of course it features diving).
If you were another company trying to take a part of the cake only EA holds for decades, what would you do?
How would you make another Sims game that isn't Sims clone?
Bobo noted in the first post WD3 suspiciously looks as a sort of Sims hybrid.
From the video presentation it's uncler to what extent the Sims part goes. Just as in Sims, all "dolls" have different skills and probably different characters (traits), but we still don't know if we'll be able to build houses, buy gadgets and vehicles, "troll the ingame forums" (yes, sims 4 has this), etc. If Ubi in some upcoming announcements discloses this and it turns out to be a Sims game about a sort of friends (and perhaps lovers) and not about families, plus if it turns out not rated PEGI/ESRB kindergarden, I'm gonna preorder it.
