So copying what SimGuruDrake said about the same thing here: http://forums.thesims.com/en_US/discussion/843537/will-the-sims-4-be-the-last-one/p12

That's because we're special.
Of course it is. At least The Sims 3 has more family play, and toddlers, in its base game in comparison with The Sims 4's base game, which has been out for nearly a year!
point 1 fine you can dislike one and like other all you want its your personnal taste and i'm fine.
point 2 it's you personnal and biased opnion based on you experience with all the games which while i feel sorry for you had problem with one version still a just personnal opnion.
point 3 fine.
Point two: All Sims games 1 + 2 + 3 are much better than Sims 4 in every way.
Point Three: I made my point here.
Point 2: no.
Point 3: wow.
For example I didn't buy luxury party stuff pack, because it was not so worth it for me! On the contrary, I purchased stuff pack 2 - perfect patio - because I liked new animations with hot tubs and there were more objects in build mode, but it has been an exception for me.....because I am not going to get all future stuff packs!! I prefer to conserve my money to buy expansions or at least game packs which really improve gameplay
> I grew up on sims 1, moved on with ease to Sims 2, and didn't hesitate to jump to Sims 3 leaving all other makes behind, but Sims 4 is such a struggle to play. I was so excited for Sims 4 to come out but when it did it was just so disappointing that I don't even see it as a real game, Sims 3 is still my go to sims game. The lack of an open world, the camera angle, the fact that when I open the fridge the shelf doesn't freaking close, no toddlers, honestly there is nothing to do in that game. I'm afraid to waste my money on expansions because I fear the gameplay honestly wont be any better. I already feel like I wasted a good $70 just on the base game. Is there anyone else out there that is still just so disappointed by the Sims 4 like I am?
I began playing the sims 2 first, BUT then went to play the sims 1. I collected every expansion pack for both games. The sims 3 was a HUGE step with graphics and game play. I loved the open world. I was able to actually see which areas i though my sims would fit the best. I had to COMPLETELY destroy every home and community lot and rebuild everything to get it how I would like it, well not like, but be more comfortable with. I feel like since MAXIS joined the EA crew with developing the sims 4 they just ruined EVERYTHING I and many others LOVED about the past sim games. The one thing I noticed that ticked me off when I first began playing was the lack of graphics. They went from SUPER great to "Wow this isn't even close to realistic, I dont think people in real life have shiny skin and box eye lashes. I have had to download over 100 things from the sims resource just to make everything seem realistic. The fact that they took out toddlers bothers me because it definitely brought the game to life. And thats what the sims is about right? Having a real world that YOU can control in your own way? Everything feels so controlled now. I think they focused TOO much on the new create a sim and the new build mode and completely drove away from what the sims is ACTUALLY about.
TS4 I can enjoy for what it is but it's the first game in the series that I'm constantly noticing what's not in the game as opposed to just enjoying what is in the game. Maybe that's why they are pumping content out so rapidly?
Who knows but I do hope that for the sake of this series they manage to turn things around.
I think TS4 fixed a lot of small issues that were really ruining the game for me in TS3, and it just has a lot more... detail? idk how to describe it.
I like both.
And to be fair, the Sims 4 has so much in the base game that was only added to Sims 3 with expansions :D
In the Sims 3 my sims traits meant something, and affected how they act! Every household has a neat sim because I can't be bothered, there is always a brave sim (although I've never encountered a burglar), and I do try and try so hard to refrain, but babies and toddlers are way to important in my game! If a toddler isn't there via CAS, my female sim is always pregnant within the first week (I can't help it >.<) And I'm all over their needs like a hawk! If a need is not full it's my main priority, always! In the Sims 4, I know the sim will take care of it themselves anyway, I'm only there so that they're not constantly watching TV or 'Trolling teh Forums'.
I've always been a stalker of these threads (Cinebar and JoAnne are like celebs to me, hi guys!) comparing Sims 3 to 4 or just generally talking about Sims 4. Honestly, I'm on a neutral standpoint on whether or not Sims 4 is worth it. I can't be angry about anything missing in Sims 4 because I never bought it, I used my cousins' origin account and she's the one who bought everything. Sims 3 however was my money spent and every last penny was worth it (Except Movie Stuff and Katy Perry stuff, I've yet to use those). I've never had the is Sims 4 worth my money argument to stand from, so I really can't get angry about it, but I do prefer Sims 3.
