Why in my ~OPINION~ The Sims 4 doesn't suck.

Now for me, I don't care about toddlers or pools, I also play single sims at the YA life stage. I very rarely had toddlers or children in my game and if I made anything younger then YA or A sims it was teens and I'd make them to grow up with one another in a neighborhood so they could all start YA life stage together after a few sim years of high school. I turned off aging in my game and did it manually for transitions. The Sims 4 is for the most part my play style. I like to make sims, have them work, date and hang out with friends, that's just what I enjoy. I have some serious relationships but it doesn't move to marriage very often because I only like playing one sim at a time. The Sims 4 is something that I will probably enjoy due to the play style being geared more towards a player like me(as far as we know at this point.) I DO understand the animosity though and for the sake of all the people that are unhappy I really hope they bring a lot of those things on "the list" back into the game. I want everyone that has played and enjoyed the sims for as long as I have or even not as long to get what they want out of the game and it's important to the future of the game because you can't make ep's if the game isn't selling as well as it should.
My biggest complaint with the base game is that University was not in it. Waiting to send my sims to University kind of kills immersion and I really hate sending sims back to school after they've already been in their career for a long time, it just doesn't make sense to me and I feel like I have to start all over to make my game feel more realistic.
Me thinks that's because the demo is free!
...True...
Thanks, that was beautiful. I agree with the you about the Uni situation. I mean they have YAs in the game why not at least an off world college? That doesn't make sence to me. They could have done at least something with which degrees are offered and a jump up on careers they wanted, if in the base game. But it's a cash cow for them, so it's going to be an EP, I guess.
Yes, and imagine how many will be in gallery when they add the other life stages. Many have started to notice their Sims are being removed.
You wouldn't treat a phone or a computer or console like this, why a game? It removes every last feature the previous game had in it. You wouldn't by a phone with the world's most amazing call quality / camera, but with no internet features because some people don't get WiFi anyway. People wouldn't defend it and say, "Well it has really good call quality and service!?" So? It doesn't have all the internet features.
The Sims 4 is NOT a good game. All of the previous Sims games have built off of every last feature the game added in as a base for a newer game.
Sims 1 -> Sims 2; Sims themselves + Life stages, leaving the home lot, etc.,
Sims 2 -> Sims 3: Sims, Aging, life stages, leaving home, gardening, cars, etc., + 100% open world, customizing 95% of anything to your desire, more alive sims (Sims 2 sims were dead and boring) a more prominent young adult life stage, changing life stage length, turning it off, etc.
Sims 3 -> Sims 4: Uhm... Adjusting age / turning it off? Young adults? + Emotions? (Life stage removed from TS2/3, entire life stage turned into object)
Sims 4 carries almost nothing from the previous game whereas the last have BUILT OFF the previous game. Buying this game means that the team can remove whatever they want for the game and it will still be a cash cow as long as it has "SIMS" plastered somewhere on the logo. Heck, they could even remove control of the sims and you people would still buy it.
I appreciate all these opinions on the list, but as I have said plenty of times now if you have an issue with the list post it on the thread there (preferable) or send me a PM. This list was fact checked by dozens of individuals, and while there are plenty of things that were from TS2, there are a great deal more than 20 things that were present in TS3 and cut.
My Alienware didn't even cost $1500?!?!? I can't imagine one that racks up $9k. And honestly, I got it for other games.
My Alienware plays The Sims 3 just as good as my custom built PC from 4 years ago. Now will the game run well on a budget laptop... no! But it shouldn't have too. That's not the point of a budget laptop!!!
That hurts for now, but it is getting easier by the day to leave EA out my pockets. Hey, it's a new day so I have to get it out and I get it but I am getting sick of reading others post with a point and laugh vibe, kind of feels personal, yeah it does make one lash out. But not me, I'm cool.
What I've seen of TS4, the included features and the staged, clippy, boring (to me) gameplay videos, do not appeal to my playstyle at all. I think it looks like The Sims 1.5.
