    I intended it to be dreadful. So, I succeeded? lol. Loved "Chit-chatty" with you guys. You remember that option on Sims 4 computers? It's "Troll TEH Forums". Bye. Say "Thanks" to me for leaving the forums.

    I guess I am one of the few who likes the new world layout. I hated that in the Sims 3 when you went to view your town it was just too much. I'd be sitting there trying to find my other families and I am scrolling left, right, up and down and still couldn't find them. I didn't like the fact that though they gave us the option to move your family to another town, you lost all your friends/families and basically had to start over because you are in a new town with no friends.

    Even with the load screens when I am in my town view I can just hope over to the next town to go visit my friends/family and don't lose a thing - no skills, no relationships, nada. I can tolerate the load screen if it means I will not lose my skills or relationships with people in my old town

    The one thing we gained in the Sims 4 that we did not have in any of the Sims games prior is that when they go on a date....You actually get to see and control your Sims while they are on a date. In the Sims 4...you just sit therer idling .... looking at the restaurant waiting for their status bars to change while they are on their dates. I know you can see them interact in bars and the nightclubs but you couldn't see them on a date..date...Chatting...cuddling kissing and so on.

    Has anyone seen a drunk sims at the bar???? B) That is so worth it...

    O.o um you could go on a date with sims 2 and do more than what sims 4 is offerening. We don't go backyards in design. We could have easily done that with sims 3. You see i have the expansion where i create bars. I just made a casino in my game where there is a bar. So not only on the date did my sims win 3,000 bucks. The shared a meal, drinks, and kisses and what not. On top of that after the casino closed we went on a romantic evening at the beach where they gazed at the stars. No random sim to come buy and interrupt my beautiful evening with banter. so they proposed and my two sims are engaged. I plan on having an outdoor wedding on a park lot that i've made.

    You see i already have that play and i don't have to pay 70 dollars to move on. Plus i have the open neighborhood. so when im doing my singing gigs, hands on careers and other fun stuff i don't really have to be interrupted with load screens i can go from lot to lot seamlessly.

    Even if i cared that my relationships aren't lost, i have sims 2 to play that kind of play. Still offere more than sims 4. So why should i play a game that really didn't advance. Then got rid of the fun thing that was advancing play. To me the trade was so not worth it. Well hence why i didn't buy it.

    Ummm.......Well you have your reasons for not buying the game as you have stated but my comment was just a comment on the open world not leading to another discussion on why anyone did or did not buy the game....Every post is not a lead in to a long drawn out 100 reasons why I did not buy the Sims 4 dialogue. I apologize for going there but I am getting a little sick of people using each forum to state their reasons why they did not buy the Sims 4...I get it. I am not sitting here saying this is why I love the Sims 4 because I am not sure what my feelings are at the moment. I am playing it and I am pointing out something I see as a positive to the game. I have all the sims games since 1 and I haven't played the Sims 2 in about 5 years....I was basing my opinion on my experiences with the Sims 3. So you see my point...The things you said you can do in the Sims 2 you couldn't do in the Sims 3. And btw...Didn't the Sims 2 also have load screens and people just teleporting here and there. And let's not forget the infamous jump bug.

    I said all that to say this (and not flaming anyone)....All the Sims games had the pros and cons. We lost some things in the Sims 3 that we could do in the Sims 2. They all had bugs/issues and for the most part they were not fixed. The jump bug in the Sims 2..Never fixed...the Investigator career bug in the Sims 3...to this day and I stopped playing it less than a month ago was never fixed.

    Some people see the Sims 4 as a step back....and for the most part that depends on how you play. I am not one of those people who build lots and bars..and so on. I just play the game... And yes, there are things they promised and left out...There are things they just plain left out with no explanation .... toddlers come to mind...but it is getting so tiring to come in here and make a comment on something so simple and have to defend the fact that you even play the Sims 4.

    First off no one forced you to post but i responded to your post to the discussion. I didn't rudely say to you im sick of hearing why sims 4 is so worth it did I? Yet that's how you want to talk to me? It certainly wasn't that discussion until you replied so. I gave expamples of how i can do that now with the two games I already own. I was talking about progression, of play and design and how we should avoid regressing. Where this came into why i didn't buy or didn't is your take on the matter.

    So you don't like my post and quickly responded in the typical manner. I don't like the way you think and im sick of hearing it so im going to be rude. Is clearly what that came off of as yet no one treated you in that same manner and i still haven't.

    I don't see your point at all. I don't see how we have to at all return to the closed world to achieve map travel. See my point is why in the hell did dev's think that the two wants meant by simmers was to close the world. As if that helped performance any. It didn't not one bit. You haven't loaded in your expansions yet to know if it's good performance or not. So that's still up for discussion and as far as i can see after 36 hours of play the game has performance issues for many both high and low end machines. So much for that closed world on low end machines. Still not a legit excuse not to advance the open world. People wanted to travel the world, travel to other worlds and keep there relationships with family and other simmers. Guess what it's still possible to do it with an open world play. My point being when i mentioned both games is this. Sims 4 didn't offer play that was new to anyone. That's the problem. It really didn't step the system forward. Especially when you aren't really traveling different maps. I have a feeling oasis springs and willow creek whatever it's called aren't actually two separate maps but one map with different load zones. If that's the case it explains why the zones are so small. As sims 3 load zones are roughly about the same size can only tolerate about 25 lots in the same area. That means in the next 10 expansion they're pretty much adding more to the map. However that is a hunch if that's a hunch it can be confirmed just yet until we see CAW tools correct.

    So go ahead and enjoy your sims 4 game, just don't think people aren't going to respond to you with but i can do that already with my game. Especially when you finish your post with loading screens where so worth it if i can do the list of things you like to do with sims 4.

I said I do not understand why each time someone makes a comment on a thread someone has to come back with a comment about what they can do in the other Sim games. Okay, let's get that clear. I don't give a flying plum what you can do in the Sims 1, 2, or 3 as I have played them all. I don't give a flying 🐸🐸🐸🐸 what the dev's did or did not do to the game that got your panties in a bunch. I made a comment based on my opinion on an aspect of the sims 4 which is what the title of this thread is. You turned this into a comparison between the Sims 4 and the other sims game and what you don't like about it. So you don't like the game who gives a flying 🐸🐸🐸🐸!!!! That does not give you nor anyone else the right to turn every thread into a I hate the Sims 4 forum. When all we are doing is talking about the game.

    Yes I play the Sims 4 and 🐸🐸🐸🐸 proud of it!!!!!

You see i have the expansion where i create bars. I just made a casino in my game where there is a bar. So not only on the date did my sims win 3,000 bucks. The shared a meal, drinks, and kisses and what not. On top of that after the casino closed we went on a romantic evening at the beach where they gazed at the stars. No random sim to come buy and interrupt my beautiful evening with banter. so they proposed and my two sims are engaged. I plan on having an outdoor wedding on a park lot that i've made.

    You see i already have that play and i don't have to pay 70 dollars to move on. Plus i have the open neighborhood. so when im doing my singing gigs, hands on careers and other fun stuff i don't really have to be interrupted with load screens i can go from lot to lot seamlessly.

    Even if i cared that my relationships aren't lost, i have sims 2 to play that kind of play. Still offere more than sims 4. So why should i play a game that really didn't advance. Then got rid of the fun thing that was advancing play. To me the trade was so not worth it. Well hence why i didn't buy it.

    Ummm.......Well you have your reasons for not buying the game as you have stated but my comment was just a comment on the open world not leading to another discussion on why anyone did or did not buy the game....Every post is not a lead in to a long drawn out 100 reasons why I did not buy the Sims 4 dialogue. I apologize for going there but I am getting a little sick of people using each forum to state their reasons why they did not buy the Sims 4...I get it. I am not sitting here saying this is why I love the Sims 4 because I am not sure what my feelings are at the moment. I am playing it and I am pointing out something I see as a positive to the game. I have all the sims games since 1 and I haven't played the Sims 2 in about 5 years....I was basing my opinion on my experiences with the Sims 3. So you see my point...The things you said you can do in the Sims 2 you couldn't do in the Sims 3. And btw...Didn't the Sims 2 also have load screens and people just teleporting here and there. And let's not forget the infamous jump bug.

    I said all that to say this (and not flaming anyone)....All the Sims games had the pros and cons. We lost some things in the Sims 3 that we could do in the Sims 2. They all had bugs/issues and for the most part they were not fixed. The jump bug in the Sims 2..Never fixed...the Investigator career bug in the Sims 3...to this day and I stopped playing it less than a month ago was never fixed.

    Some people see the Sims 4 as a step back....and for the most part that depends on how you play. I am not one of those people who build lots and bars..and so on. I just play the game... And yes, there are things they promised and left out...There are things they just plain left out with no explanation .... toddlers come to mind...but it is getting so tiring to come in here and make a comment on something so simple and have to defend the fact that you even play the Sims 4.

    First off no one forced you to post but i responded to your post to the discussion. I didn't rudely say to you im sick of hearing why sims 4 is so worth it did I? Yet that's how you want to talk to me? It certainly wasn't that discussion until you replied so. I gave expamples of how i can do that now with the two games I already own. I was talking about progression, of play and design and how we should avoid regressing. Where this came into why i didn't buy or didn't is your take on the matter.

    So you don't like my post and quickly responded in the typical manner. I don't like the way you think and im sick of hearing it so im going to be rude. Is clearly what that came off of as yet no one treated you in that same manner and i still haven't.

    I don't see your point at all. I don't see how we have to at all return to the closed world to achieve map travel. See my point is why in the hell did dev's think that the two wants meant by simmers was to close the world. As if that helped performance any. It didn't not one bit. You haven't loaded in your expansions yet to know if it's good performance or not. So that's still up for discussion and as far as i can see after 36 hours of play the game has performance issues for many both high and low end machines. So much for that closed world on low end machines. Still not a legit excuse not to advance the open world. People wanted to travel the world, travel to other worlds and keep there relationships with family and other simmers. Guess what it's still possible to do it with an open world play. My point being when i mentioned both games is this. Sims 4 didn't offer play that was new to anyone. That's the problem. It really didn't step the system forward. Especially when you aren't really traveling different maps. I have a feeling oasis springs and willow creek whatever it's called aren't actually two separate maps but one map with different load zones. If that's the case it explains why the zones are so small. As sims 3 load zones are roughly about the same size can only tolerate about 25 lots in the same area. That means in the next 10 expansion they're pretty much adding more to the map. However that is a hunch if that's a hunch it can be confirmed just yet until we see CAW tools correct.

    So go ahead and enjoy your sims 4 game, just don't think people aren't going to respond to you with but i can do that already with my game. Especially when you finish your post with loading screens where so worth it if i can do the list of things you like to do with sims 4.

    Did I tickle your fancy with my comment? I sure hope I did. I did not get all bent out of shape and defensive as you did. I said I do not understand why each time someone makes a comment on a thread someone has to come back with a comment about what they can do in the other Sim games. Okay, let's get that clear. I don't give a flying plum what you can do in the Sims 1, 2, or 3 as I have played them all. I don't give a flying 🐸🐸🐸🐸 what the dev's or did not do to the game that got your panties in a bunch. I made a comment based on my opinion on an aspect of the sims 4 which is what the title of this thread is. You turned this into a comparison between the Sims 4 and the other sims game and what you don't like about it. So you don't like the game who gives a flying 🐸🐸🐸🐸!!!! That does not give you nor anyone else the right to turn every thread into a I hate the Sims 4 forum. When all we are doing is talking about the game.

    Yes I play the Sims 4 and 🐸🐸🐸🐸 proud of it!!!!!

    Good for you :)

    I guess I am one of the few who likes the new world layout. I hated that in the Sims 3 when you went to view your town it was just too much. I'd be sitting there trying to find my other families and I am scrolling left, right, up and down and still couldn't find them. I didn't like the fact that though they gave us the option to move your family to another town, you lost all your friends/families and basically had to start over because you are in a new town with no friends.

    Even with the load screens when I am in my town view I can just hope over to the next town to go visit my friends/family and don't lose a thing - no skills, no relationships, nada. I can tolerate the load screen if it means I will not lose my skills or relationships with people in my old town

    The one thing we gained in the Sims 4 that we did not have in any of the Sims games prior is that when they go on a date....You actually get to see and control your Sims while they are on a date. In the Sims 4...you just sit therer idling .... looking at the restaurant waiting for their status bars to change while they are on their dates. I know you can see them interact in bars and the nightclubs but you couldn't see them on a date..date...Chatting...cuddling kissing and so on.

    O.o um you could go on a date with sims 2 and do more than what sims 4 is offerening. We don't go backyards in design. We could have easily done that with sims 3.

    I don't see your point at all. I don't see how we have to at all return to the closed world to achieve map travel. See my point is why in the hell did dev's think that the two wants meant by simmers was to close the world. As if that helped performance any. It didn't not one bit. You haven't loaded in your expansions yet to know if it's good performance or not. So that's still up for discussion and as far as i can see after 36 hours of play the game has performance issues for many both high and low end machines. So much for that closed world on low end machines. Still not a legit excuse not to advance the open world.

My point being when i mentioned both games is this. Sims 4 didn't offer play that was new to anyone. That's the problem. It really didn't step the system forward.

I have a feeling oasis springs and willow creek whatever it's called aren't actually two separate maps but one map with different load zones.

That means in the next 10 expansion they're pretty much adding more to the map. However that is a hunch if that's a hunch it can be confirmed just yet until we see CAW tools correct.

    So go ahead and enjoy your sims 4 game, just don't think people aren't going to respond to you with but i can do that already with my game. Especially when you finish your post with loading screens where so worth it if i can do the list of things you like to do with sims 4.

    Did I tickle your fancy with my comment? I sure hope I did. I did not get all bent out of shape and defensive as you did. I said I do not understand why each time someone makes a comment on a thread someone has to come back with a comment about what they can do in the other Sim games. Okay, let's get that clear. I don't give a flying plum what you can do in the Sims 1, 2, or 3 as I have played them all. I don't give a flying 🐸🐸🐸🐸 what the dev's did or did not do to the game that got your panties in a bunch. I made a comment based on my opinion on an aspect of the sims 4 which is what the title of this thread is. You turned this into a comparison between the Sims 4 and the other sims game and what you don't like about it. So you don't like the game who gives a flying 🐸🐸🐸🐸!!!! That does not give you nor anyone else the right to turn every thread into a I hate the Sims 4 forum. When all we are doing is talking about the game.

    Yes I play the Sims 4 and 🐸🐸🐸🐸 proud of it!!!!!

    the truth is you dont know how to play Sims 3. The fact that you're having trouble finding your sim families in Sims 3 proved it as fact. So what else is there for you to play that your limited capacity brain can handle? ah yes, a facebook game branded The Sims 4. Enjoy your 70 USD browser game.

    I guess I am one of the few who likes the new world layout. I hated that in the Sims 3 when you went to view your town it was just too much. I'd be sitting there trying to find my other families and I am scrolling left, right, up and down and still couldn't find them. I didn't like the fact that though they gave us the option to move your family to another town, you lost all your friends/families and basically had to start over because you are in a new town with no friends.

    Even with the load screens when I am in my town view I can just hope over to the next town to go visit my friends/family and don't lose a thing - no skills, no relationships, nada. I can tolerate the load screen if it means I will not lose my skills or relationships with people in my old town

    The one thing we gained in the Sims 4 that we did not have in any of the Sims games prior is that when they go on a date....You actually get to see and control your Sims while they are on a date. In the Sims 4...you just sit therer idling .... looking at the restaurant waiting for their status bars to change while they are on their dates. I know you can see them interact in bars and the nightclubs but you couldn't see them on a date..date...Chatting...cuddling kissing and so on.

    Has anyone seen a drunk sims at the bar???? B) That is so worth it...

    O.o um you could go on a date with sims 2 and do more than what sims 4 is offerening. We don't go backyards in design. We could have easily done that with sims 3. You see i have the expansion where i create bars. I just made a casino in my game where there is a bar. So not only on the date did my sims win 3,000 bucks. The shared a meal, drinks, and kisses and what not. On top of that after the casino closed we went on a romantic evening at the beach where they gazed at the stars. No random sim to come buy and interrupt my beautiful evening with banter. so they proposed and my two sims are engaged. I plan on having an outdoor wedding on a park lot that i've made.

    You see i already have that play and i don't have to pay 70 dollars to move on. Plus i have the open neighborhood. so when im doing my singing gigs, hands on careers and other fun stuff i don't really have to be interrupted with load screens i can go from lot to lot seamlessly.

    Even if i cared that my relationships aren't lost, i have sims 2 to play that kind of play. Still offere more than sims 4. So why should i play a game that really didn't advance. Then got rid of the fun thing that was advancing play. To me the trade was so not worth it. Well hence why i didn't buy it.

    Ummm.......Well you have your reasons for not buying the game as you have stated but my comment was just a comment on the open world not leading to another discussion on why anyone did or did not buy the game....Every post is not a lead in to a long drawn out 100 reasons why I did not buy the Sims 4 dialogue. I apologize for going there but I am getting a little sick of people using each forum to state their reasons why they did not buy the Sims 4...I get it. I am not sitting here saying this is why I love the Sims 4 because I am not sure what my feelings are at the moment. I am playing it and I am pointing out something I see as a positive to the game. I have all the sims games since 1 and I haven't played the Sims 2 in about 5 years....I was basing my opinion on my experiences with the Sims 3. So you see my point...The things you said you can do in the Sims 2 you couldn't do in the Sims 3. And btw...Didn't the Sims 2 also have load screens and people just teleporting here and there. And let's not forget the infamous jump bug.

    I said all that to say this (and not flaming anyone)....All the Sims games had the pros and cons. We lost some things in the Sims 3 that we could do in the Sims 2. They all had bugs/issues and for the most part they were not fixed. The jump bug in the Sims 2..Never fixed...the Investigator career bug in the Sims 3...to this day and I stopped playing it less than a month ago was never fixed.

    Some people see the Sims 4 as a step back....and for the most part that depends on how you play. I am not one of those people who build lots and bars..and so on. I just play the game... And yes, there are things they promised and left out...There are things they just plain left out with no explanation .... toddlers come to mind...but it is getting so tiring to come in here and make a comment on something so simple and have to defend the fact that you even play the Sims 4.

    First off no one forced you to post but i responded to your post to the discussion. I didn't rudely say to you im sick of hearing why sims 4 is so worth it did I? Yet that's how you want to talk to me? It certainly wasn't that discussion until you replied so. I gave expamples of how i can do that now with the two games I already own. I was talking about progression, of play and design and how we should avoid regressing. Where this came into why i didn't buy or didn't is your take on the matter.

    So you don't like my post and quickly responded in the typical manner. I don't like the way you think and im sick of hearing it so im going to be rude. Is clearly what that came off of as yet no one treated you in that same manner and i still haven't.

    I don't see your point at all. I don't see how we have to at all return to the closed world to achieve map travel. See my point is why in the hell did dev's think that the two wants meant by simmers was to close the world. As if that helped performance any. It didn't not one bit. You haven't loaded in your expansions yet to know if it's good performance or not. So that's still up for discussion and as far as i can see after 36 hours of play the game has performance issues for many both high and low end machines. So much for that closed world on low end machines. Still not a legit excuse not to advance the open world. People wanted to travel the world, travel to other worlds and keep there relationships with family and other simmers. Guess what it's still possible to do it with an open world play. My point being when i mentioned both games is this. Sims 4 didn't offer play that was new to anyone. That's the problem. It really didn't step the system forward. Especially when you aren't really traveling different maps. I have a feeling oasis springs and willow creek whatever it's called aren't actually two separate maps but one map with different load zones. If that's the case it explains why the zones are so small. As sims 3 load zones are roughly about the same size can only tolerate about 25 lots in the same area.

    You mean me too i never trolled anyone i am honest and friendly i didn't mean any harm here. I really wanted to say it is good for you that you can enjoy the game...

    Yes I play the Sims 4 and 🐸🐸🐸🐸 proud of it!!!!!

    Oh i guess the saying i'm sick of hearing it and having to defend i play sims 4 isn't bent out of shape. Seems the person that was tickled was you. You know what if you came to the thread to discuss the topic with people than by all means discuss. If you want entertainment than it's clear im not your person. Pick one cause the discussion isn't going to be about me.

    Your choice words did that first hon when you mentioned The load screen was worth the trade off. So simply put if you didn't want a comparison discussion don't start one. Very simple. Frankly my panties are my private business and not to be discussed by the likes of rude people like you. Please keep the conversation about the topic and less about me thanks.

    I never said anything in the above about hating sims 4 or the likes of it, like i said i find the open world better. You're the one taking it to that discussion and still are. Clearly you went down that road because clearly that's where you wanted it to go. Now you're trying bring the conversation to being about sims 4 like to sims 4 hate. When all im saying is the closed word isn't progression. Flame baiting much?

    I tell you what since i like the discussion at hand about why the closed world is not progression. I'll talk about that and you my friend can get as upset as you want about it and call me a sims 4 hater all you want and swear all you want. That's not going to stop me from posting and saying what i think. Sad calling me a sims 4 hater is all the argument you can make when someone challenges why the game hasn't progressed.

    Ooo and you started swearing too. So sad, people can't have a discussion without getting so upset they become ridiculously rude.

    Go play it now if you're so proud of it.

    And you're jumping in because?????? Oh right...Because you can...I have seen you trolling on the boards. Just a word of advice....Don't bother me and I won't bother you.

    Being disappointed doesn't mean you're a troll, you pomegranate.

    Even with the load screens when I am in my town view I can just hope over to the next town to go visit my friends/family and don't lose a thing - no skills, no relationships, nada. I can tolerate the load screen if it means I will not lose my skills or relationships with people in my old town

    The one thing we gained in the Sims 4 that we did not have in any of the Sims games prior is that when they go on a date....You actually get to see and control your Sims while they are on a date. In the Sims 4...you just sit therer idling .... looking at the restaurant waiting for their status bars to change while they are on their dates. I know you can see them interact in bars and the nightclubs but you couldn't see them on a date..date...Chatting...cuddling kissing and so on.

    Has anyone seen a drunk sims at the bar???? B) That is so worth it...

    O.o um you could go on a date with sims 2 and do more than what sims 4 is offerening. We don't go backyards in design. We could have easily done that with sims 3. You see i have the expansion where i create bars. I just made a casino in my game where there is a bar. So not only on the date did my sims win 3,000 bucks. The shared a meal, drinks, and kisses and what not. On top of that after the casino closed we went on a romantic evening at the beach where they gazed at the stars. No random sim to come buy and interrupt my beautiful evening with banter. so they proposed and my two sims are engaged. I plan on having an outdoor wedding on a park lot that i've made.

    You see i already have that play and i don't have to pay 70 dollars to move on. Plus i have the open neighborhood. so when im doing my singing gigs, hands on careers and other fun stuff i don't really have to be interrupted with load screens i can go from lot to lot seamlessly.

    Even if i cared that my relationships aren't lost, i have sims 2 to play that kind of play. Still offere more than sims 4. So why should i play a game that really didn't advance. Then got rid of the fun thing that was advancing play. To me the trade was so not worth it. Well hence why i didn't buy it.

    Ummm.......Well you have your reasons for not buying the game as you have stated but my comment was just a comment on the open world not leading to another discussion on why anyone did or did not buy the game....Every post is not a lead in to a long drawn out 100 reasons why I did not buy the Sims 4 dialogue. I apologize for going there but I am getting a little sick of people using each forum to state their reasons why they did not buy the Sims 4...I get it. I am not sitting here saying this is why I love the Sims 4 because I am not sure what my feelings are at the moment. I am playing it and I am pointing out something I see as a positive to the game. I have all the sims games since 1 and I haven't played the Sims 2 in about 5 years....I was basing my opinion on my experiences with the Sims 3. So you see my point...The things you said you can do in the Sims 2 you couldn't do in the Sims 3. And btw...Didn't the Sims 2 also have load screens and people just teleporting here and there. And let's not forget the infamous jump bug.

    I said all that to say this (and not flaming anyone)....All the Sims games had the pros and cons. We lost some things in the Sims 3 that we could do in the Sims 2. They all had bugs/issues and for the most part they were not fixed. The jump bug in the Sims 2..Never fixed...the Investigator career bug in the Sims 3...to this day and I stopped playing it less than a month ago was never fixed.

    Some people see the Sims 4 as a step back....and for the most part that depends on how you play. I am not one of those people who build lots and bars..and so on. I just play the game... And yes, there are things they promised and left out...There are things they just plain left out with no explanation .... toddlers come to mind...but it is getting so tiring to come in here and make a comment on something so simple and have to defend the fact that you even play the Sims 4.

    First off no one forced you to post but i responded to your post to the discussion. I didn't rudely say to you im sick of hearing why sims 4 is so worth it did I? Yet that's how you want to talk to me? It certainly wasn't that discussion until you replied so. I gave expamples of how i can do that now with the two games I already own. I was talking about progression, of play and design and how we should avoid regressing. Where this came into why i didn't buy or didn't is your take on the matter.

    So you don't like my post and quickly responded in the typical manner. I don't like the way you think and im sick of hearing it so im going to be rude. Is clearly what that came off of as yet no one treated you in that same manner and i still haven't.

    I don't see your point at all. I don't see how we have to at all return to the closed world to achieve map travel. See my point is why in the hell did dev's think that the two wants meant by simmers was to close the world. As if that helped performance any. It didn't not one bit. You haven't loaded in your expansions yet to know if it's good performance or not. So that's still up for discussion and as far as i can see after 36 hours of play the game has performance issues for many both high and low end machines. So much for that closed world on low end machines. Still not a legit excuse not to advance the open world. People wanted to travel the world, travel to other worlds and keep there relationships with family and other simmers. Guess what it's still possible to do it with an open world play. My point being when i mentioned both games is this. Sims 4 didn't offer play that was new to anyone. That's the problem. It really didn't step the system forward. Especially when you aren't really traveling different maps. I have a feeling oasis springs and willow creek whatever it's called aren't actually two separate maps but one map with different load zones. If that's the case it explains why the zones are so small. As sims 3 load zones are roughly about the same size can only tolerate about 25 lots in the same area. That means in the next 10 expansion they're pretty much adding more to the map. However that is a hunch if that's a hunch it can be confirmed just yet until we see CAW tools correct.

    So go ahead and enjoy your sims 4 game, just don't think people aren't going to respond to you with but i can do that already with my game. Especially when you finish your post with loading screens where so worth it if i can do the list of things you like to do with sims 4.

    Did I tickle your fancy with my comment? I sure hope I did. I did not get all bent out of shape and defensive as you did. I said I do not understand why each time someone makes a comment on a thread someone has to come back with a comment about what they can do in the other Sim games. Okay, let's get that clear. I don't give a flying plum what you can do in the Sims 1, 2, or 3 as I have played them all. I don't give a flying fig what the dev's or did not do to the game that got your panties in a bunch. I made a comment based on my opinion on a aspect of the sims 4 which is what the title of this thread is. You turned this into a comparison between the Sims 4 and the other sims game and what you don't like about it. So you don't like the game who gives a flying 🐸🐸🐸🐸!!!! That does not give you nor anyone else the right to turn every thread into a I hate the Sims 4 forum.

    Yes I play the Sims 4 and 🐸🐸🐸🐸 proud of it!!!!!

    Go play it now if you're so proud of it.

    And you're jumping in because?????? Oh right...Because you can...I have seen you trolling on the boards. Just a word of advice....Don't bother me and I won't bother you.

    I guess I am one of the few who likes the new world layout. I hated that in the Sims 3 when you went to view your town it was just too much. I'd be sitting there trying to find my other families and I am scrolling left, right, up and down and still couldn't find them. I didn't like the fact that though they gave us the option to move your family to another town, you lost all your friends/families and basically had to start over because you are in a new town with no friends.

    How about acting like an adult and not bothering anyone. Everyone has opinions of their own, you don't have to agree but name calling and belittling people due to their opinions is just plain rude.
    It's quite drop from the top, so how ya feeling down there?

    I hated the open world in sims 3, it took ages for my sim to move from their home to anywhere in tow, far longer actually than the current loading screens. And when they got where they were going, every location was pretty much empty.
    On top of that, sims 3 kept crashing so often, that it ruined what little play I did manage to get out of it.
