Seriously, I love the sims. I keep coming back for more pack after useless empty pack.
Without the family play I crave, TS4 lacks even after 3 EP's and endless c,, 0rap packs
I cannot just play with the 2 life stages given. Not after experiencing all of what the other Sims games offered. Toddlers, Teens (with teen heights/ attitudes/voices/acne and age related clothing)
Super Naturals! I miss Vampires, Plant Sims, Werewolves I hear TS3 had Mermaids?! Pets, Weather!
I don't feel as I can wait any longer for these things.
The only thing I enjoy now -in game- is changing the random townies the game generates... Because they are all named Acrab Habab Ashulm or something that rhymes with that. Everyone with dark skin and red eyes and CC hair.
Why Not follow the format that has worked for years?
Please Bring Back
Toddlers,
Realistic Teenagers and
Create a World.

It looks like vampires are coming really soon, based on evidence found in the game code. I'm really excited for that. I'm also hoping for toddlers, improved teens, witches and magic, pets, and cars. There's other things I miss like interests, the attraction system, and zodiac signs. University would be nice to have again, too.
I can't play Sims 3 anymore because my computer can't deal with it and I spend more time troubleshooting than playing. I tried to go back to Sims 2 a few months back but couldn't get into it due to the limited CAS, outdated graphics, and lame Sim AI ( and by this I mean, yes they were situationally aware and reacted to things nicely, but they'll also sit in the hot tub all day, can't route anywhere to save their lives, and other such nuisances). I enjoyed playing with toddlers again briefly but they weren't enough for me to get over the other shortcomings.
So, I have what fun I can have with Sims 4 and eagerly await more content. I'm not ready to call this game a loss, not unless they go another two years and don't release anything worth its salt.

Sounds like the free version of S4.
Please no... I just want it to end already.
this is true. i've waited for something for family players but i accepted that there's never going to be anything for us. i've since moved back to ts3 and so have many others.
sarcasm?
@VirtualPets65 - definitely this ^^
@VirtualPets65 - I think it's because you said it was the newest model that ran S1, plus some other games. Sims 3 came out 9 years after S1, so of course, you'd have all things as you described above.
Wasn't that 2?
Maybe Sims 3 has it as well, have no idea. It plays fine for me.
That was Sims 2 when Bon Voyage was released. Sims 3 promised to never use this abomination again.
Sims 3 uses a different version of SecuROM. SecuROM was developed by Sony and there are several different versions of it for many different games. Some are simply serial code related. Others are more aggressive. The version introduced with Bon Voyage for S2 was the most destructive and intrusive version ever introduced. It was to the point where it rendered many people's machines useless and unusable. Many were noticeably affected by it, myself included.
When EA introduced Sims 3, they assured us they were no longer using that destructive version. They did not lie. I do not miss those days at all. Many expenditures and time lost troubleshooting why the machine I paid good money for was rendered useless are not missed at all.
Sadly, due to my locale, I was exempt from the class action lawsuit. I have not forgotten though. It still leaves a sore spot with me.
I didn't buy Bon Voyage for the same reason and it wasn't in TS3. TS3 only had serial number copy protection. See https://stupidevilbastard.com/2009/03/ea_goes_back_to_serial_number_copy_protection_for_the_sims_3/
As for TS3, we are taking in more new and returning players each day

Actually it was released with FreeTime or Apartment Life, not Bon Voyage. I can't remember which one. BV was the last SecuROM free EP for S2.
I don't agree with "why not follow the format that's worked for years?" Statement for the simple reason that The Sims series has always changed with each iteration. The sims 3 was a drastic change from the sims 2 and I remember a lot of simmers at the time (and even now) couldn't get on board with it.
There was some similar expansions of course like seasons and university but the sims 3 had a lot of expansions that the sims 2 didn't have. For example showtime, into the future.
Now don't get me wrong there's lots of improvements I would like in the sims 4 but I don't want it to be a copy of the sims 3 and I don't think it could ever live up to the amazing game that is the sims 2. I have both the sims 2 and 3 and play them regularly, if the sims 4 was a copy of them I wouldn't buy it as I wouldn't need to as I have the best version already.
The sims 4 isn't my favourite game of the series but I do like it. It is worth remembering though we didn't get weather in the sims 3 until the game was three years old. Pets weren't also given to us early on in the series.
I would love pets and seasons too but maybe I'm not as bothered about the lack of them because I play the sims 2 and 3 more?
