What I don't get about reviews of TS4

Yeah same here. I like to think I fall under the moderate side of the pro camp.
My current feelings about The Sims 4. Here is hoping The Sims 5 can restore The Sims franchise.
Thanks. Sometimes gets a bit tiresome how some people dont seem to see things could be improved for both camps-not one over the other!

I love everyone equally no matter the camp, except @Zolt65. I may wife that one.
Did you hear, the EA staff are busy right now and can't reply on the boards as much as before. Just kidding. I agree, Joewow was very funny and on point sometimes. Other times when he would take a complaint and try to point out how not being able to do X like you had hoped to be able to do was somehow a feature... let's just say he triggered visions of boomerang shoes being hurled hard and fast. :disagree:
I could be wrong but I believe Zolt already has a wife.

Irrelevant to my plans. He'll be the little spoon in this relationship.
And, for those of you who would like people to go away and stop criticizing the game, you should realize that the tragedy of this game *is* that it has so much potential....a potential that a lot of us hope that EA picks up on, continues to improve the gameplay, and doesn't do with this game what it's done to other games in the past...give us one half-hearted expansion pack and leave it at that. I'm fairly sure that they're working right now on churning out *some* kind of EP to keep the player base from draining away or turning to other games (there's a lot of competition out there)...we've already seen how players have reverted to the earlier versions of this series to get that ole Sims feelng of immersion back. When even those who claim to love the game can admit that there are some flaws with it, to me, that's a sure sign that EA needs to keep its Corporate hands off The Sims Team and let them invest the time and money it will take to make an excellent expansion pack. Given that the usual timeline for an expansion pack is supposed to be six months, it wouldn't surprise me at all to see one released earlier....like they did during the last part of The Sims 3.
Oh, and someone else said there are still Sims 3 forums. If there are, it's only the ones on THIS website that were imported from the other website. That OTHER website is read-only. And by the way...it didn't take EA very long to start shutting the other one down....less than 2 months before the release of The Sims 4.

I suspect the forum thing was largely due to wanting to upgrade to newer hardware and having that prepped before a game launched likely necessitated the transition.
I know that's neither here nor there for discussion of Sims 4, but I just wanted to chime in there.
Its REALLY hard to take that seriously.
Game becomes an abomination of what it used to be and you call it "playstyle" shifting the blame from the game to the player.

When you generally make a big switch like that, it's pretty much commonplace to shutter the older software/forums. I understand people find it jarring, but trying to maintain twice the forums is generally cost/time ineffective and so here we are now.
I'm sticking with my belief that it was done to force everyone to this site so that they could be nudged to move on to The Sims 4.

Well, we have to look at if they changed forums up too. I cannot accurately recall if Sims 2 to Sims 3 came with a whole new forum software change-up. If it did, then I honestly can't say one way or another
If it was simply a re-use of the prior software spiced up with new images/options and slapped with the Sims 3 label, then it makes sense why Sims 3 to 4 may have been different.
In the end, I'm speculating as much as you are so don't take my opinions as law/fact either haha.
I'd say you're a little right. I don't see why they wouldn't want to bring you all over. It's a business scheme and part of what advertising is. On the other had, it's also more cost affective to manage only one forum.

Agreed.

Busy with the company meetings at EA headquarters?

Everything from the old forum was migrated over and put in the TS3 forums below the TS4 ones.

It's cool, I'll haggle with her or something.
Edit: Adjusted cause after re-reading it I felt like I might need to tase myself
Yeah, that's not creepy or anything.

Yeah, re-reading it I need to adjust that. I read it and said man, I feel like I just gained the "Insane" perk in a split second >_<
Gained?
