Something terrible must be happening at Maxis

When they can't seem to be going back to their roots. Anyone here remembers The Sims 1 and 2 expansions? How diverse and awesome they were, even Sims 3 kept a lot of that. Whoever is coming up with these ideas need to rethink their design plan and what content is going to be given to the fans. So say you don't do much partying, you are more like a family lover story teller, what's left for you in this expansion? A pub and few interactions? That sounds more like a stuff pack and than an actual expansion.

How are we supposed to know what were getting in the future? That's a poor excuse.
I'm so embarrassed for this whole presentation and I had nothing to do with it. I was just sitting here in utter embarrassment, thinking... is this REALLY happening or is this some kinda sick joke???

Same thing happened with sims 2! amazing gameplay!
Sims 3 though at times I felt like my sims were emotionless dolls but there was so much going on in the city, always something new to do.
I got bored with sims 4 surprisingly really quick. The sims were very much improved but the content is lacking. with each coming new content I buy it excites me back into the game.....(for a while).
This just shows how sims 4 is lacking in CONTENT.....
This is going to take a few more EPs to really make me hooked....
Now, now Colton. Should't you be saying "Get Together is way better than Justine"?
I don't know how they can continue to ignore the out cries for more group activities, more family play (kids play tag, hide and seek etc.) and or the plea for a life stage like toddlers and just pump out another party EP. We should have guessed with all this Party pack, Party patio, etc. etc. it would continue in that vein.
It's just astounding how they can ignore the elephant in the room....real life, everyday, mundane stuff, like family and kids.
they played something that has never been done before and were impressed by fresh and amazing EPs with tons of new content/interactions IN 2000/03! and i also don't think there were real family players at all at the time of ts1, because the game was new and everyone played in a similar, yet unique way. the formation of family players, builders, story creatory, LPers etc. came more into practice during the sims 2 - and believe me, family aspects were MUCH better back then. i think it's totally unacceptable that a game from 2014 still can't keep up with it's predecessors from 2009 AND 2004 in so many aspects. and the fact that this game is sharing some similarities with the sims 1 - a game from 15 years ago is absolutely crazy! sometimes i ask myself, if the sims 4 really is the game that we've been waiting for. the game that would really improve onto the sims 3 and reach the charm of ts2 and ts1, but so far it's failing to deliver.
Well in the Sims 1 I was mostly into building rather than gameplay. The families seemed static to me, sure the sims could have kids but they didn't grow up. And as for the baby cribs **shudder**. I really didn't get into the gameplay until the Sims 2. It was marvelous, no more cradles of doom, we had realistic babies who became toddlers who then became children who then became teens who then became adults who had their own children which started the whole cycle all over again. As far as I was concerned the Sims 3 retained that generational aspect and freed the sims to experience the world outside the lots.
so the Sims 4 was a leap backwards for me. The whole babies being tied to crib and morphing into children is a deja vu of the worst kind but I find the lack of an open world more damaging to family play especially given the nature of the gameplay. In the Sims 1, 2 and 3 if you went somewhere that involved a loading screen time was frozen on the home lot that's not the case with the Sims 4. There, going to another lot means throwing the rest of the family who are not coming with the active sim under the bus. They drop any activities that you have queued, the away actions are pretty lame and to make matters even worse there has been a bug in the game since the December patch which means sims at work or school don't look after their basic needs like bladder or hunger if the home lot is not loaded.

is she still here? i thought that she left us for someplace better and safer like canada.
You can move it back. Don't ask me how.
This not off topic. I think it silly they move anything they disagree with off topic.
Look like she is out of the office until next week. Ok, @SimGuruDrake, how is this thread off topic?
