Hi, guys! I thought we needed a thread just for the good things and for those of us who are enjoying what we see and want to discuss it without the negativity and disrespect that is overflowing on the rest of the board. For instance: I love the way the park looks in the game play preview! It was so vibrant and there were sims all over the place! I really think that the build mode looks great and I have enjoyed the CAS Demo, as well! Please feel free to jump in and let's talk about the good things we are seeing! The UI looks amazing. It's so nice and clean! And I am really impressed with the ability to drag people in and out of situations so easily. And I think I saw a store section, too! I'm so excited after seeing the video.
Thanks!
Because of growing hostility, TheSims3crazy has suggested that all of the positive TS4 loving folks move on over to the new boards. It is nicer and more even than the nastiness we are experiencing here. Please go to

Errm you do know you can't report people for feeling negative about the game right? It's a forum, all opinions are allowed.
But you cant go around reporting people for no reason. You are not a guru, and this is a forum. Every member has the full right to post anything they like, whether its good or bad, it doesnt matter. You can get banned for threatening to report people just for voicing their opinion. You have no right to tell us what to post and what not to.
I'm also loving the gallery (more for houses/rooms) built in. I hated stopping my game to go find things.
I know people are very split on it, but I love the graphics. I really didn't like the look of the sims in Sims 3. I like the style a lot.
Very excited! Thanks for creating this thread
I agree with your intentions but you can't dictate other people's opinions. Last time I checked this wasn't 1984...
I, too, am enjoying the style! It's a pleasant change!

You are welcome! I LOVE the gallery! And I hear you on moving over and over! That is very complicated in the game.
I would have loved to see some family play and children interactions, but I can wait for the game for that.
I thought the "bro hug" was definitely better than "Shakabra"
I'm looking forward to my own unique sims and my own unique world that I can start creating in September.
I am absolutely in LOVE with the new style! I'm so happy it looks so pretty and it's able to run on older computers! I also love how populated and pastel-coloured the environment was in the preview!
I see where you're coming from:) I am looking forward to the changes, as I was never super great at navigating TS3! This seems just about my speed, though, LOL!
Hi Noogster! Glad to see you over here! I completely agree! The game is gorgeous! The park was amazing!
Oww careful the Op will report you
Wow, I was expecting to see family life. Some babies, children, teens. Maybe even a pregnant Sim. A couple dating? No, oops I forgot. This game is about BROS who go to the gym and throw house parties.
The Sims look like washed-out and NOTHING like they do in CAS. Half of the townies are stood around, frozen like in TS3. When the Sims are idle they do the same goofy faces and animations. Where is the life? The EMOTION? Forget about rich or deep interactions, instead we have "show muscles" and "bump hips". We don't even have categories for different socials now. One long list, like a social game.
You didn't want to see your Sim walk off the edge of the lot? Well, you're in for a treat! You select where you want to go and bam! You're instantly there. This is a step forwards? How very reverse-Warholian! And is there actually anywhere to go but the gym?
The world looks like a cartoon, with a sheer cloth over the lens. Sure you will see Sims walking around, but is anyone actually doing anything? Is there anything TO do? And what about those houses!? Those windows look like pieces of cardboard with a pencil drawing on.
The UI is exactly like a social game, even won to the flashing white around whichever object you select. Just click straight on your Sim (should I call them an avatar now?) to travel where you want to go, and with ANYONE (even if you don't know them) from the current lot.
We asked for less RPG elements, but instead we got MORE. Have fun having how you organise your party set out for you! Adding to the cartoony feel, we have huge cupcake machines and space rockets and what looks like a giant microphone! Fancy baking some cupcakes? Plop down the 6x6 machine in your kitchen first!
The loading screens are hardly short, and I noticed at least some freezing.
Wow, I feel dumb for being optimistic and believing this game could be amazing. Everyone was right.
The UI! I know! The whole screen is so open now! I have had a lot of trouble in the past with the UI taking up so much of the bottom of the screen that I feel like I miss things in the game! It's really a breath of fresh air!
The only bad thing I can say about it is I wish it had been a longer demo. It ended to soon it felt like ;-; I wanted to see more!
BUT I HATE THE UI WITH A PASSION!!!!! UGH.
They really need to make it bigger.
