Breaking up a marriage of 15 years (I uninstalled the game, it hurts)

Ok.
I just haven't touched TS4 and I'm back to TS3 and all sorts of other games as well. I've tried it again and again with new content but it just doesn't feel fun and I don't feel like I can play the game how I would like to. I hope TS5 will be like a greatest hits type of game and take the best features from each iteration...for now I like to observe where TS4 is going, even if I'm not playing it any more. Glad you've found something else to get into though, I play Minecraft myself here and there and having that amount of freedom and creativity to do whatever you want is amazing.
OP does not seem to have english as a first language. Due to the strange wording, I assumed he did something like google translate, then just copied it here.
How do we know who preorders?
And the other half don't preorder and get to sigh and shake their heads in (not so) gentle exasperation when the new pack messes up everyone's game in some way because of glitches.

Look better at your fact. The mayority who are done with the sims 4 usually go back to the sims 2/3. (example here)

Auf Wiedersehen OP !
Thank you for your courage mentioning this with the risk of people calling you a sock puppet (which is totally disrepectful). You're absolutely right to wonder why people who quit playing feel the need to complain about the game and spoil it for those who like it.
In my case it was an emotional thing. And I'm guilty at only pointing out things that I didn't like, while there certainly were aspects of the game I *did* like. For example I think clubrules added depth to the game.
Hi Missy,
What you are saying is true to an extent. People will always miss the content and features from previous iterations That pattern most definitely exists. However while the end result might appear to be the same (a legion of unhappy Simmers) the conditons leading to that net result are vastly different.
People that ignored the TS3 pre-launch haters were willing to take a risk on the evolution of the game
Prople that ignored the TS4 pre-launch haters were willing to put their faith in the developers that a devolution would ultimately lead to a better experience.
Fans of TS2 could argue that the developer broke their game by changing the rules and releasing a buggy mess, but at the end of the day they couldn't argue that they were deprived of content and features (with a few small exceptions)
People unhappy with TS4 seem to be contending with both issues. Not only have they had to accept the fact that some of their favorite features are gone (with no hope of returning) but as far as content goes this iteration is apparantly woefully behind the pace set by TS2 and TS3
So while your observation is ostensibly true, it is a bit lacking in depth.
when 3 hit the shelves, it was beautiful to look at, but the sims there had lost that "pet" quality, at least for me. But that game offered other things that I found rewarding for itself. I didn't recognize it at the time, I could only see how the sims themselves were so lacking in personality, that's all I could think about. But I played it. I loved the create a style. I loved the open world, even though I wouldn't admit it at the time. I loved being able to change so much of the world. It had it's own charm, not with the sims, but with the environment. I now love it, not like ts2, but for the creative challenge it offers.
This new game? 4? yeah, it really is a kid's game. Happy, happy, all day long. No challenge, no fun, nothing to keep me interested, nothing to keep me lost in time, nothing to be bothered with. It just is so boring to me. I can't even get myself to play it long enough to try to see some of the new stuff. It is just so boring, I can't be bothered trying.
But walking away? Leaving this community after all these years? I don't want to do that. We are almost half way through this iteration of the game. Maybe, just maybe someone in that company is reading these posts, taking notes and firing up the sims 2 and the sims 3 and just maybe they will merge those two games together to make that one perfect Sims game. Not likely, I know, but it is a dream, it is a hope and it is something I would like to hold on to, even if the sims 4 can't keep me interested it in itself, for itself. The hope of the future and all the friends I've made over the years is enough to keep me here, if not fully engaged.
I'm sorry but how does someone complaining about the game spoil it for those who do like it? You don't stop playing the game or feel the need to not play the game because *somebody else* doesn't like it. You play it because *you* like it or stop playing it because *you* don't. If you enjoy the game, then who cares what anyone else says? Just enjoy playing it as you always have.
Jarsie?
Why do you constantly feel the need to shoot down people who are trying to share why they don't enjoy The Sims 4 or are stop playing it for whatever their reason is...and in a rude way? The OP was stating their reasons and feelings - their opinions - as to why they are not playing the game anymore and what *they* think is wrong with it. Which is their opinion. As they are entitled to have one and share it no matter what it is (just as you or anyone else is too)
Sorry? What's Jarsie? I'm probably being incredibly stupid right now :') But it's 12:47 past midnight here in England and I'm tired - my brain just wants to rest now hahaha
Haha I remember her! My arch nemesis!
Oh no - why do I think being asked if i'm this Jarsie person is a bad thing?
I'm thinking of either installing sims 3 so I can play both 2&3 or just sticking with 2 for now.
Since uni started I won't have a lot of time to play anyway.
</3
I'm sorry to hear all of this.
I have been playing The Sims franchise since Livin' Large was first introduced. (Sorry EA, but I didn't notice it until your first xpac) I have upgraded each game as the new generation came out. I have given up pets, seasons, etc each and every time for a new experience. And every time, at the beginning, I was both elated and discouraged.
Elated because NEW GAME! Woot!
Discouraged because it never, EVER came with the amount of content that multi-expansion packed previous series had accumulated to.
Still.
For me, I'll never be able to go back to previous Sims games now that I have entered into TS4. Why? Emotions. I am, myself, a truly emotional creature who lives one moment to the next on feelings. Much like our newest Sims. Don't get me wrong, I miss Seasons as much as the next person (Can do without Tods, and never liked pets) but what this generation of the game offers cannot/will not be found in the previous games.
And now, seeing this, I'm curious if this matters to anyone OTHER than me.
Note: Until TS4 I never played with mean/evil sims. Until TS4 I don't think it mattered. But here? Now? Good and Evil just don't mix.
^shrug^ I probably shouldn't have gone there, this thread is already devolving into a flame war.
