So yeah I am curious if you feel like ea or the devs are really trying to make a great game for us. Like I am curious do you feel like the lack of info is really helping the situation. do you care or mind they doge the question of tolders for example, do you care or mind they have had no events this year to talk about future content. Like do you care or mind that the game has only had 2 real expansion packs over 2 years. Like I am just curious if any of this bothers you and how you can still find real depth or enjoyment from this game in the state its in and how ea looks like they do not want to improve much. Do you think this game needs inprovements or do you think they did an amazing job.

can you explain why. what makes it great for you. like i am guessing you do not need or want tolders in your game for example.
Can i ask how you feel like they are doing that. because I mean how is giving us no info on future content for example showing they want to make the game better or to telling us to stop asking about tolders for example.
One thing I don't like about Sims 4 is that all the new features introduced in EP's, GP's, and SP's are described in detail in the marketing before it comes out, or on the first day it comes out. There are no additional unadvertised features to discover.
It's feels empty even with all the DLC and 2 ep's.
Their silence on every question also speak volumes especially on Toddlers.
yeah exactly how i feel.
I personally don't feel like the limited information is an issue, but Sims isn't the only game I play. I've been mainlining Deus Ex for the past week so I've barely even thought about the Sims. Got rather caught up in Overwatch before that. But, I also feel like they've been clear enough about what they can and, more to the point, can't share about upcoming content. I think it says more that they don't speak about toddlers right now when they can't legally talk about upcoming free content since that implies that they are working on toddlers and that there's a good chance they'll either be free or released with some solid toddler content that's free. Compared to coming out and stating they aren't going to add them, like they did with CASt and open world. But that's just my opinion/guess about the toddler situation.
There are things I'd like to see them improve/add to the game. The emotions need to be tweaked. It would be nice if there were additional animations, emotions, or interactions based on a sim's traits. I really need some grungy things added. And they need to add more negative things into the game (more negative emotions, etc.). But overall, I think it's a solid, enjoyable game.

But I don't agree with "has only had 2 real expansions in 2 years" because TS4 has actually had 2 EPs and 3 GPs and a third EP seems to be on its way. If we count GPs as half EPs then 3 EPs and 3GPs is equivalent to 4.5 traditional EPs which is more than the usual 2 EPs each year. Besides that TS4 has also had many more SPs than the earlier games had.
But I guess their focus is now on EP3, whenever that gets released.
As for the lack of toddlers, that has been flogged so much it just falls on death ears, not just the development team but even players here are growing tired of hearing about it.
But you can still play toddlers in the 'older games' if anyone really wants to play them
I believe that there is less than a month to the release of EP3 and I don't count days - only months and years
I think that I only had one GP when I still played TS4. But to me it was at least half an EP. I can't judge the later released GPs and EPs though.
They can't and won't discuss future content. There's an NDA and laws covering this. They can be fired and sued for breaking the NDA, and I'm assuming prosecuted for breaking the law. It's been discussed in the forums to death. It won't change. That includes toddlers, or pretty much anything.
I don't mind that there's only been one EP a year. From the recent ask a guru thread, that looks set to continue. As far as I'm concerned, the frequency of the SP's and the GP's make up for it. That's me though.
I enjoy the game. Them saying what's coming or not doesn't alter that. If you enjoy it, you enjoy it. If you don't, you don't. I know all the hand wringing and "...but they need to tell us stuff" isn't changing it. Why should I bother stressing myself out when I know no amount of begging, pleading or asking will change that one simple fact - they can't tell us things as we would like.
Well aid
I really wish that some people will stop grilling the Gurus for their silence and move on from it.
Live and let live, there is nothing players can do but provide feedback. If that feedback isn't being taken into account then that is unfortunate but regardless, the development team do not deserve the level of criticism that they when they are jus trying to do their jobs.
Now almost 2 years into sims 4, the game still feels incomplete, people stop playing it and go back to previous games, there are no news except some speculations and the sims team is ignoring what most of the players want.
I didn't even care for any stuff pack after get together, they include 1 gameplay object and the rest of the stuff isn't anything i can't get out of cc really.
I just want to be excited to play this game again but i can't see a great future for it at the moment.
There's so many....I don't know what you'd call it in that. Us being vocal doesn't force them to change it. In fact from recent words spoken, entirely the opposite. The more vocal we are, the more they shut us out. Us buying (more so if you don't like the game) is what gives them license to produce 'half baked games'. It might, there again, the cost might outweigh the gain, because most of the people wanting toddlers already own the game. Therefore, not enough future sales in it.
And they're not going to break their NDA's for us, no matter how much we state that they should.
Will we ever have toddlers or are they not coming to the game?
Will there ever be pets or are they not coming to the game?
Are cars currently in development?
Are universities currently in development?
Will we ever get magic, celebrities, beaches, etc.?
I do think TS4 is a great game. It runs smoothly, I love the style, build mode is fantastic, and emotions are wonderful, but the game is still incomplete because it's missing a lot in the base game. I'm still going to keep playing it, but maybe that's the problem because they don't think they have to make changes as long as we're still playing and buying their content.
