I just loaded up Riverview and... nope, I can't do it. I just have to get the hood sorted first. So, yes... maybe I can start playing tomorrow. Or next week... I mean, I still have all the other hoods to sort out and they will be niggling at my mind. Maybe I can start playing next month

I know, but it is so satisfying to get it all done and look around the world thinking, 'Perfect! I can't think of a single thing I'd like to change'. *smug smile*... oh, maybe that thing. *tweak* Oh, and maybe this.... *tweak* ...
I'm a girl who likes to play with boys, what can I say...

Devolution of Sims - a once customisable open world sandbox which has become a DLC Party catalog in a shoebox.
Thats a nice way of saying it.
I would say: "a once customisable open world sandbox which has become a " Money 🐸🐸🐸🐸 EA/maxis game design".
I wish I had the money and know how to make a game.... but i guess if I had enough money I could hire people.... though I don't have that kind of money... but if I did....
Sims 4
I tried to have a big wedding but everyone was too busy at the bar getting drinks.
I tried again, everyone stood right around us at the arch so I couldn't take good pictures.
After a few random animations we were married while everyone just stood there.
Then everyone quickly went back to the bar.
Then a random flirty Sim comes to the wedding and flirts with me, a total stranger, at my wedding, and my Sim accepted it?!
Now my bride hates me and the party was over.
Went back home after that disaster of a 'wedding' that they call The Sims 4 weddings.
After a few days she calmed down and we tried to have a baby.
After starting one I found myself unable to deal with it since my 'baby' is an inanimate object chained to a magically appearing crib.
No need to build a nursery since there's no toddlers or babies that can be removed from the magical crib.
She then grew up into a kid and wouldn't stop trying to hug us due to autonomy imbalance.
She eventually grew up and left the house and I wonder, what was the point of it all?
This game is obviously geared towards party Simmers only.
I'm done with family play in The Sims 4, its a joke, a very sick joke.
Sims 2
If I want an actual wedding I'll play The Sims 2 where everyone sits then gets up and claps like in a real wedding.
Remember how The Sims 2 also features cut scenes to really set the mood? The first kiss, first woohoo, wedding, birth of child, aging up, etc.
I'll play The Sims 2 because I can move my babies around and build a nursery.
I can age them into toddlers and teach them life skills such as talking and walking and potty training.
I can age my toddler into a child and help them with homework and buy them toys and they won't want to hug me 24/7.
Autonomy is balanced in The Sims 2 as well.
My child grows up and moves out.
I feel like I did a good job, prepared them for the world.
These Sims have personality and life.
While The Sims 4 Sims are busy dancing and drinking juice.
The Sims 4 is designed for partying and nothing more. Even The Sims 3 offered actual family play and depth.

2. The Sims 3
3. The Sims 4 (5 years later its decent)
4. The Sims 1
I love how having toddlers, babies, and children always brought challenge and rush In the Sims 3.
It's like a whole new level of parenting, and once all my sims needs were up after a LONG DAY of taking care of the baby, toddler crying and needing attention, children's needs and help with homework and trying to balance everything out while 1 parent at work etc... It's challenging, but that's what made the game fun!
The Sims 3 family challenges definitely made me feel Immersed.. once they were all sleep, and needs were high, I always felt like," wow, gameplay Is amazing and this day was insane."
THAT'S FUN GAMEPLAY! Challenges In every day sims life, and tons of Interactions to last you throughout the day. TS3 will always be better. Artstyle might not be great, but the gameplay Is amazing and Immersing.
@cherpar That talking toilet had to take some work but did you notice they didn't put the effort into the gaming console to increase social? So it's just another group object that's useless in building relationships. Ridiculous that a talking toilet is what they choose to put their time and effort into. I bet the karaoke machine doesn't even build social. I pre-ordered and now I'm regretting it. [/quote]
Really ? The console doesn't raise social? Isn't that part of the point of gaming wit friends? Wow. Could it be that will fix that before release? [/quote]
@cherpar I sure hope so. I tweeted @SimGuruGraham asking that same question. The crazy thing is that you CAN build social with the stinking toilet! I think they are sending out a signal to us family players that family play is going down the toilet once and for all.
Why wouldn't you create a smart home system for penthouses. That could talk and do cool,things and yet we have a talking toilet. The humour is well, just not for me.

Maybe it could be a hint for a futuristic/Into The Future-like pack, lol?
(That could be awesome. I loved that sims 3 pack. )

smart homesystem nice... maybe a robot vacumcleaner! ectra. but for me talking toilet is below the list of things sims do together for social, fun and skill.
and below the ability to build my own apartment houses (I'm perfectly fine with that you cant change windows and outer walls)
when all that is said and done (for a pack named city life I don't expect much family from) it might be fun, they allready there in real life I think.
though if toddlers where already in game this would be the pack for upperclass preeschool that don't just take care of your litlle ones but also teach them skills... for the busy parents. Maybe even afterschool activities for kids and teens (and preeteens) to keep them of the street... hey this might be a pack to add preeteens (in a patch) becouse the kids wants to be like the teens

Different time, different audience. Not my game that is for sure.
A talking toilet is certainly not the wow factor to make me buy a game. Time could have been spent on other things we have asked for. Sad.

So what does this talking toilet do?
If you 'pee like a champion' the toilet cheers you on?
maybe you can have a relationship with it.... no idea why you would want that....
Really? How old does EA think I am? Twelve?
I see where toddlers (and supernaturals) are on the priority list now.
