I feel like the odd one out, but I like sims 4 better than sims 3

Sorry to hear about Mr. Hobbs -- 18 is pretty old for a kitty so sounds like he had a full and contented life, with a lot of love and skritches.

A Generations-type EP could bring that back, along with toddlers and other possible age stages like pre-teens. I never really used that much but I can see how some would find it important.

And we actually got features in TS4 that we had to wait until Late Night to get, like the bars (including professional bars and the Mixology Skill; all those useless juice bars cluttering up venues drove me up the wall!) and the piano, and TS4 has violin which was only a Store item. And children can play instruments again which I really missed. I'm now waiting for an upright piano, either in an EP or a Store item because my Sim's house is way too small for a grand piano; I have to figure out how I can modify my house for a music room (I downloaded it from the Gallery because it's got a lovely wrap around porch, but that makes it hard to add onto).

As I've said in other threads, expansion is actually going to be easier in a way; instead of having to modify existing worlds to include new venues and features (and sometimes that not even being possible, like with the dive lots in IP), each EP can add a world that Sims can easily travel to and explore the new features without losing any relationships. And those worlds can also add residential lots which will please folks who feel they need more space for their own families. Although I just learned something; in Manage Households you can add households that actually don't have an established address, and they'll show up in your game anyway as townies you can meet and even romance. I actually discovered that when my Sim moved in her boyfriend and he was techncially "not in world" so not only did I not have to break up an existing household he brought in over 19,000 Simoleons, enough to help remodel the kitchen and give it a needed upgrade.

Supposedly the new patch fixed the "demon baby" issue for most players, so you might want to give them another shot. Maybe try adopting a baby just to see how it looks; you can save it under a different name like Baby Test and delete it if you still have problems.

Neither of my Sims have the Romance trait either, but they're flirting all the time; my Sims share a study with two computers (he's a writer, she's in the Comedy field so she has to write jokes and routines a lot) and in the middle of his writing he stopped and did a little serenade which was absolutely adorable. He's also high enough in skill where he can share Love Poetry with her -- that is probably the most awesome romantic interaction we've had in any Sims game. It's great they can chat while still working at the computer; very realistic as I'll usually be talking with my husband while I'm on the computer writing or doing research and he's at the dining table with a book or a magazine. (Special interest magazines would make a cool addition to the game; reading one would give a small skill boost as well as fun, and after the new one comes you'd have to get rid of the old one.)

I agree with every single thing you just said. I LOVE this game and having the best time. I love these Sims. Having only played Sims 3, I just can NOT believe how these Sims are SO different. They have......you guessed it ....EMOTIONS...and they can multitask I know I know...supposedly they could do that in other games..but this is different. Seeing it is so different than watching others play or even describing how it works. My Sim just got married and they were so excited that I got excited and like you I can NOT put this game down hardly. Just love it.
I started my legacy using Pinstar's rules. I am doing a Equality, Strict Traditional, Last born challenge. So far so good. I thought it might be rough since I know nothing about build mode..but I am learning now LOL...SO FUN.
So, to the OP...nope you are not alone. No lag, smooth game play, very few bugs. Able to play for 5 hours without stopping..yeah I am good with it. Probably won't be touching Sims 3 again.

> I like sims 4 better than 3 because I had so many problems too with the game crashing or not loading. I like the detail in making the sims. I also like when the pregnant sims being able to do everything that they were able to do before becoming pregnant.
The Sims 4 Utilizes a 32-bit Executable, after a couple of Expansion Packs and Custom Content installed, you will start lagging/freezing more or less like you did in Sims 3.
I hope the unbeareable lag/freezes i had in build mode/C.A.S stays back in The Sims 3.

I plan to wait until the majority of the expansion packs come out and decide on 1 or 2 and will try to not download any custom content. It was Island Paradise that really did my game in so this time I am going to try to not have so many expansion packs or none at all.
i hope to avoid cc as-well..

Overall I am happy with the game. I know it's just the bones we are working with and that gives me hope...Even if it is putting my hope in EA's hand.
But... What makes me love it more is the ability to actually run the game without it bogging down in 5 minutes. Not having to fight through every little action makes a huge difference. I hope that some how we get a wider variety of in town options for us though.
Yeah, i see people complain about the loading screens in sims 4, but honestly, I find those a hell of a lot less annoying, especially since they don't tend to take that long, than I found the constant game freezes I had in sims 3, where you were trying to do something, and all of a sudden everything falls still and nothing's moving anymore, for several minutes. Just because you tried something in build mode.
lots of hours.
I need to check what im at though.. probabbly 20 or 30.

I prefer Sims 4 over Sims 3 for basically the same reason. It was more trouble just trying to get the game to load and set it up than it was worth as it freezes constantly. Even had a lot of problems with crashing. Though I managed to get to crash less, I couldn't get it to stop freezing and the lagging was horrible. All in all, almost unplayable and my computers aren't even that old! Came out long after Sims 3 did.
The sims felt dull and soulless. I had to use Nraas mods just to play the game and make it a bit more stable or get the sims to do a bit more on their when not playing.
I am not worried about missing careers and all that as I figured more will come within due time (base games tend not to have everything at first).
While it is no Sims 2, it is still a step up from Sims 3 in terms of playability.
Lets make this a reality!
