I started with this franchise as a pre-teen and now am an adult. While I still like reading about the sims 4 news and play once in awhile the game really hasn't been capturing me. I think part of the problem, for me at least, is that they're marketing towards teen girls and I am no longer in that demographic. Sometimes you…
I like the semi-closed worlds in that you can visit areas in the neighborhood. I always felt the open world of TS3 was too laggy/empty. I don't miss the whole editing system in CAS; it always was overwhelming to me, but I understand why people miss it.
Yes - the majority of the traits affect emotions, and emotions don't meaningfully impact gameplay or impart severe consequences on the player, rendering most traits useless. What they really need to do is create: a) a want/fear system, b) a mood/inspiration system with consequences of failing to fulfill the sim's…
I just loaded up the game after a long time to try it out again. I regret it. The bugs are so numerous, and take you out of the immersion so frequently that it's very frustrating to play. Note that I do not and never have played with mods or CC. What I experienced while playing only 10 minutes: -Sims get frozen in place,…
It seems like the main gameplay elements are: -recycling/inventing machines kinda like the ones in get to work -candle crafting -bug farm -community cleanup -pollution system -selling things online -eco friendly objects -World with 3 neighborhoods -Community Space lot that can be turned into (at least) 3 different things,…
I'll reserve my final judgement for when more information/reviews come out, but as of now, no. Although the concept seems interesting (as did the concepts for Island Living, Reign of Magic), and the objects/hairstyles/CAS looks nice, the current trend seems to be: -Reusing current game assets (painting, mischief -…
I'm not buying and will never buy it, I don't care for the CAS and I don't really use or value the photography skill. Some of the build items are nice but not enough for me to purchase.
No, and I think I made the right decision based on reviews of the gameplay and content (limited interactive objects, short linear storyline). I was never going to get it though, I am not an occult player and don't enjoy 'out there' gameplay that is not suitable to everyday sim life (same reason I didn't buy jungle…
Thank you for your reply and information. This sim is not a townie, he was born to one of my played sims, so I don't know why he would get it. Thanks again though!
I'm not personally excited for this - fame is not something I have ever prioritized in a game, plus it looks a bit content light so far with only 1 new career and a new world (I understand you can get famous in any career, but that actually makes me a bit nervous as it seems that the path to getting 'famous' might be…
I am really enjoying this pack, even far more than any of the other expansions. I'll list the positives, neutrals and negatives below: Positives: -the weather effects are just really well done, they look realistic and what's great is that they're gradual (e.g. rainstorms gradually getting worse, leaves changing color then…
This is disappointing, but I really appreciate that they are making an effort to be more open and transparent than in the past, so I thank them for that. I am not as bothered as I thought I might be, I would like deep snow but as long as the world looks realistic enough (roofs covered, snow effects, etc) then it doesn't…
Yes, I've passed on many of the recent packs but this one I'm definitely interested in. I love the idea of kiddie pools, scouts and holidays. Plus the weather looks great too (albeit the lack of snow depth).
A lot of these packs seem to be aimed at casual gamers (the Sims 4 is a game that, as a whole, appeals to casual players as well as hardcore fans) meaning that a lot of casual players will just buy the DLC without too much concern for quality or replayability. Which is fine, but it also means that they get away with…
I would have preferred a game pack with several small animals, such as turtles, birds, ferrets, etc. However since this thread is about the stuff pack: -cushy pet beds (not flat ones) -two animal types with separate cages/animations -furniture objects that were not solely pet themed OR pet store items with pet store…
I'm glad that the YouTube influencers are speaking out against the pack. I'm not opposed to them making stuff packs (although I would prefer more GPs/EPs) but this seems like such a blatant...segmentation of features that should've been in an EP. Maybe this will be the limit of how they segment things if there's enough…
No, for several reasons: * This should have been in Cats and Dogs. TS2 & TS3 had Pets expansions with small creatures, birds, etc. I'm not paying an extra $10 for content that should have been in the EP. It's actually a bit upsetting to me that it's being sold piece meal like this. * I don't care for the furniture style…
