Emotions have left me Apathetic

:? Forgive, and error in posting left this one double-posted.
Since you asked at the top of this forum what I think, this is my thoughts after reviewing offical data on The Sims 4:
I like having more control over the look of my Sim, but the general look of it and the addition of teen-like behavior has left me flat-lined in the emotion department.
I find offering me the world (The Sims 3) then taking it back (The Sims 4) to be less than exciting as well.
I like having more control over the roof, wall, and window placements. I like being able to adjust the house with a few clicks. These are tools that I have been waiting for. However, the idea of not having a CasT or CaW has left me walking away. In The Sims 3, I have created my own world, my own lots, built and decorated my own homes, populated said locations with my own Sims, then created my own stories. I am not willing to settle for anything less than creative control. I have never been excited over the worlds created by Maxis; however, I have purchased them for the content that can be used in creating my own world.
Currently, I am not interested in what you are offering in The Sims 4 as a whole. I am still playing The Sims 3. I will be watch EA/Maxis for a time to see what is actually produced. With smaller worlds, goofy actions, and emotions leading the way, It will take a lot to convince me to move "forward" with you on this one.

what happen with your post? I did read it. As I stated in my post, I will keep playing The Sims 3 for now.
It's not either/or for me. I will continue to keep them all and probably play them all just like I do now. I get in different moods, and have different favorites in all types of Sims' games.
If I had a console I would probably try the console version of Sims' games, too. I'm not crazy about just The Sims, but I have never seen it as I had to give up something to try something new. OR have to uninstall something to install something new. But that's just me. I may not like it beyond the base game, but that doesn't mean I have to stop playing any of the games I already have. It's just weird to me when some think they have to trash and old game to play the new one. :?
ETA: Heck I still play the early versions of many games and won't turn them lose in those genres either, because I do get in different moods and like things in all the games I play. But that doesn't mean I can't try their new versions.
Lol I thought you were deleting this post.
I also agree with Cinebar. I know I'm going to buy the game because I bought and used to play all of the old games (until my computer broke down). Right now, I only have sims 3 but I'm working on getting my old games back. I play each game for different reasons. Sometimes you just get nostalgia.
I have sims 1, sims 2, sims 3 (including all EP's for all, and most SP's, and lots of store stuff and cc!)And sims Medieval all installed happily on this computer
I've never sold my sims games either, and in fact bought sims 1 complete collection used for $40, in addition to the old base game and each EP I already had.
I just wish now I had kept ALL the sims 2 Boxes the discs came in. I still have all the discs but unfortunately threw out half the cases for some reason. Oh well, retrospect!
SO- when sims 4 comes along (fingers crossed the computer holds up for awhile!) I will have sims 1, 2,3, 4 all installed
OH and I also have sims 3 for XBox 360! I haven't played it in years, but remember it as fun. Just too many games and too little time.
To be clear: My decision to not purchase The Sims 4 at this time, has nothing to do with my desire to continue playing The Sims 3. I am meaning that I will keep playing The Sims because I enjoy it; I will not play The Sims 4 at this time because there is not enough there that interests me. (The cons outwiegh the pros)
:P (This thing is a little quirky this day.)
I agree , I am totally turned off by the seeming move toward "teen like behavoir". I'm an adult so are A Lot of long time simmers. I dislike sims becoming a more child like silly game.
Don't get me wrong, I am not against humour.
I have Medieval as well. tbere was an expansion for that game, which i also purchased. It was something different to play for certain.
That is the reason I intend to keep a watch on The Sims 4, it might look better when it is completely done.
