I've played The Sims since the beginning and I must say I've been hooked for a long time ... until The Sims 4. I have to admit that I hated it at first and vowed never to play again. I even joined the 'haters' in bashing the game. However, I must say you guys have come through to the die hard fans and I appreciate it. I love the game play. Thank you for fixing the issues. The butler actually does stuff, rather than just walking around and taking up space. I love the Island Living expansion pack. After owning it forever I finally moved a family in and I must say the attention to detail is awesome. The wading in and out of the water, footsteps in the sand ... love it! And I haven't explored everything yet. Anyway, thank you for putting out a game that keeps me engaged and away from my responsibilities that have seriously been neglected. I'm a true simmer and can't wait to see what you guys do next.

I've been playing consistently for around ten years now. I loved all four generations of the game for different reasons. All of them hold my interest more than any other game I play. Like so many, The Sims is the one game I come back to time and time again. It's been something of a lifeline over the last few difficult years and I think it's amazing that's it has withstood everything and it still here after 20 years. Really incredible
All these 5 years I've loved Sims 4. It's helped me through a lot of difficult times, taking my mind off the sad and stressful things that have been going on in my life. Thanks for that, I appreciate it.
I wish I could've been able to enjoy the earlier Sims games too, especially Sims 2, it seems incredible.
And strangely enough, it's quite easy for me to play sitting on the recliner and using a PS4 controller. Although that could be why I can't build for you-know-what unless I'm making boxes and doing a basic building. Just to show what a lousy builder I am, I'll upload a residence I made awhile back since there was no gallery for us console players at the time I made it.
Anywho, yes there are things I want added to the game, and I certainly wouldn't complain if the Sims team wound up doing more for the 20th anniversary. However, I'm also thankful for what they have done with this game, especially as a console player who doesn't have a PC that has recommended gaming specs. I for one will probably get a kick out of the free hot tub, and I was one of the folks who paid for Patio Party Stuff because I tend to be a completionist, and there were other items that tickled my fancy. And I couldn't look a gift horse in the mouth when I saw Discover University and Realms of Magic go on sale in the PSN store. So thank you, Sims team.
And to those who upload your creations to the gallery, from the ones who have thousands of downloads and often post videos on Youtube, to those who may not have a ton of downloads and stay anonymous... a big thank you as well because you have helped bring my current saves to life with your various creations.
