I forgot to include. Yours sims can go anywhere in the open world. lol Can Sims 4 do that? They can even swim anywhere with the addition of Island Paradise.
Seemed like mermaids won't happen after all. Because where can they swim? In the pool? lol
So 4 years after the conception of sims 3, they got to swim in the oceans. Unfortunately, that was at the end of the S3 run.
But hey, it's a content that TS4 will never have... Such a shame.
No one knows what content sims 4 can have. Don't base the sims off 3.
It should be based off Sims 3. Otherwise, TS4 is just TS2.5
No. It shouldn't. Sims 3 was the anomaly. Sims 3 introduced even more mmo than any of the previous. And sims 3 became about the world and not the sims.
There's nothing 'massively multiplayer online' about The Sims 3....unless it's a typo and you meant Sims 4, because we all know that was meant to be a MMORPG.
Sorry. I meant rpg. Questing.
I disagree there, too. Sims 2 was more goal oriented in aspects, than Sims 3. So much so that my major issue with Sims 3 was that many objects felt more like props than actual fleshed out activities. E.g., the business objects from Sims 2 compared to that of Sims 3. Huge difference. Sims 2 had more consequential interactions between sims, where as Sims 3 was a little more shallow but less linear and more open.
It seems that Sims 4 is setting up to be more fleshed out with goals, activities etc which is similar to Sims 2.
I like both dollhouse and achievement style gameplay, so I'm cool either way.
Yes. And that's another thing I don't get, where people say that sims 3 was tougher. It was not.
And as I said. Sims 3 was an anomaly as far as sims go. Not nearly as in depth.
I like 4. I can't wait to see where it goes. I just hope they don't go back to 3.
I don't think it was an anomaly, I think it was an improvement in many aspects. They dropped the ball with the expansion packs and store content, big time. Mods show that it could have been done better, but wasn't.
This time, with Sims 4, they've dropped the ball in more aspects. Family play has taken a huge hit (family trees, toddlers) and creativity has taken a hit (CASt, open world, terrain modification, CAW).
Seems like they've left a lot upto being added in store and expansion content, but I reckon lots of people are sick of paying through the nose. Not to mention they tend to not fix in game issues, expecting people to mod.
I'm not playing this game to make my house picture perfect with patterns and styles. All you who do need the materialist trait.
People are people. I want the sims to be about people, and not the showroom house. That's materialistic. And that ain't me.
Calling people who enjoy aesthetics 'materialistic' is just as rude as calling people who like sims interactions drama queens who enjoy histrionics. Although looking at how people interact on these forums, I'd say the latter is pretty much correct.
It's not rude. It's just a fact. Tell me how matching your pillows to your curtains matters in life?
Tell me how "weirder stories" matter in life?
Ah geez. Just read any news. Life is weird. Sick even.
I know my sims love coming home to four walls( all grey ) a hole in the ground for....taking a champion poo and a rugged fire pit for cooking their meals. Who cares about open worlds and pillows let them suffer!LOL Think about how you live in the real world. Do you buy things for your living spaces to improve your quality of living.........

Not really - I buy useful things. if someone wants decor and dust collectors - that is their business but not in my house. The less dust the better. I run air purifiers, love white walls - sterile environment. Conductive to clear heads and necessary for my health. I don't have visitors anyway. I am a very orderly person and have no need for junk.

Is there anyone that has suffered no lag in TS3...besides myself? Certainly I cannot be the only one.
I did have problems with cast once in Sims 3, But found out I downloaded a faulty pattern with a house from the exchange...
Problem was solved after getting rid of that.
Besides that, Sims 3 run nicely without lag and crashes.

What? LOL It's an opinion, and a method of game play. Just because you don't like it, or fail to see its value, doesn't mean that it's not valid.
But if you need more invalidation for your personal opinion of aesthetics not mattering, just look at how different Sims games were recieved. It's pretty clear that aesthetic options DO matter.
And yet it seems the only way the Sims 4 section is staying alive is by people reminiscing over the better games. Sims 4 is an embarrassment to 2014 games and the Sims series.
What I really don't get here is why people moan and groan about a game that they don't like.......moreover, why be here in the first place if you don't like it? Seems like a HUGE waste of your precious time anyway to post. And posting just to get your voice heard that you don't like the game? Hmmm.....maybe it would be best if you wrote an email or better yet tried calling EA to cry at them for the way they made the game. I doubt that they would even listen to your constant whining. There's no REAL constructive criticism here, just a bunch of "BOOO HOOO!!! They took this stuff away and made our sims look bad!!" coming from a minority.

If EA didn't cater to little kids as they did before, Sims 3 would've had better animations than its predecessors. Sims 4's interactions are nowhere near as good as Sims 3 either.

Me. The only rough parts I've had was in the island paradise world. And it only takes 3 mintues to fully load into a Sims 3 save.
You mean validation? Then it's clear that sims 2 wins. And that was for the gameplay and personalities of the sims themselves. It was sims 3 that offered those aesthetics. And they only matter to s3 lovers.
