ENOUGH EA!!!!!!

so i read EA's blog about why they didnt include pools and toddlers, one of the most basic features in the past sims games. heres the link to it: http://www.thesims.com/news/whats-out-and-whats-in?utm_campaign=sims4-social-global-maxis-fb-blog-ts4-fb-in-out-prev-site&utm_source=facebook&utm_medium=social&sourceid=sims4-social-global-maxis-fb-blog-ts4-fb-in-out-prev-site&cid=23112&ts=1404869657232&sf28227138=1

The blog has absolutely no reasonable explanation for not including pools and toddlers. I think it is quite obvious they're just "trading off" these very essential features just to trade it back in, in a future $40 ******** seasons or pets or university expansion pack. How exactly does new technology and AI not allow them to code a swimming pool like they have done in the past sims games and create just a few more recorded animations for swimming sims? I promise you all by my life that EA are gonna use swimming pools as their main selling point for a stupid $40 expansion pack in the future. Toddlers, i'm really not sure why they removed it( maybe they're making the baby life stage much more complex and useful) but i dont think toddlers are ever making a return in this sims 4.

Well i cant wait to see what other features they took out and just how limited the wardrobe is. Probably 8 different hairstyles and 15 different outfits. I really hope the AI is really as great as EA says it is, that is one feature that ive wanted so bad after playing the sims 3. the sims 2 AI was far better and smarter than the sims 3 if any of you can remember.

    I think toddlers will make a return, personally. But it will be in a generations or kid-themed type EP where they will get everything they already had in the base and some expansions for TS2+3, and then EA will call it a day for toddlers and never expand them again because "they won't be compatible with other EP content". This will be their excuse for not expanding on them, if ever they are included.
    Since they hardly did much in the way of toddlers for Sims 3.

    I'm still wondering why they are calling this Sims "4", 4 implying there was a third at some point. They stripped the game of pretty much everything that the Sims 3 added. It was like Sims 3 never existed at all. Which is a pity, because story prog and an open world would be fantastic had they actually tried o fix them and give us quality as opposed to giving up and scrapping it all together.

    Yup, it was a lame "excuse" they put out just so they could talk about CAS, emotions and other crap. :evil:

    I have to admit among all this chaos some gamers have typed up some gems. A user on IGN wrote this up. Pretty humorous.
