Do you EVER plan to get Sims 4?

Welllll....I'm treating Sims 4 the same way I treated Sims 3 Medieval. It's a wholly different add-on to the franchise. With Sims 3 Medieval, I waited until there was an Origin sale and then picked it up along with the Pirates expansion for a fraction of their original price. I think I paid under $20 for both of them.
So, yeah. If I see Sims 4 on Origin for a super deal, bundled with a few expansions, I'll buy it. But it is never going to be able to replace Sims 2 or Sims 3, and that's what I was hoping for. At best, it will be a side trip for me, the way Sims Medieval was.
I plan on getting it as a gift for my birthday. I won't be buying it so if I don't get it for my birthday I'll wait until Christmas. If I still haven't gotten it (which would be unlikely), I won't be getting it until it goes on sale.
EDIT:
Actually, I might get it if EA comes out with an expansion pack that looks amazing.
With a topic on this forum directly focusing on mods and CC, they seem to be actively encouraging both -- either to encourage creativity or to save themselves some work.

The sandbox I knew I loved sort of died for me. Will I ever get it, no. I will still look at lets plays and even decent reviews other then that its not happening. It would take a miracle for me to like TS4 at this point, and EA is fresh out of those.
I will not buy it at all regardless of what EA does to the game if the let's plays and reviews do not indicate that the sims have emotional depth (sorry, but I have yet to see this in any of the videos). Went this route with TS3, and still felt cheated even though the game was cheap. Never again.
I want to play with interesting Sims. If TS4 can pull this off, then yes, I will definitely purchase the game at a later time.
And no, it's not about the small features like basements or pools that, like a lot of the things that didn't carry over from 2 to 3, will probably show up in future expansions. My issue is that they aren't marching forward with this game. This game is one gigantic step backward, and how can you say it's not when their 'new' lot set up is pretty much on the same level as Sims 2? Not so much as a color wheel in create-a-sim, and they can't even make it bearable by at least giving us a decent selection of colors.
Toddlers, I only care about because their absence means there is a nasty jolt from super-dependent newborn to suddenly being old enough to attend elementary school. Otherwise, I wouldn't really miss them... But now I've learned, that teens are now the same height as adults, making them in appearance near identical to them. I like watching my sims actually grow up. Now the only growing they do is from crib to child to teen and it basically plateaus from there.
I lived through the transition from Sims 2 to Sims 3. Yeah, Sims 3 base game didn't have a lot of the things Sims 2 and it's expansions had, but at least it still felt like a step forward. Sims 4 seems more like a step back to me. Maybe it will get better with expansions, but until those start pouring in, I won't really know for sure if Sims 4 will ever be worth my time.

People hated 3 before it came out too.
Still a significant portion.
So far nobody has been able to convincingly cite for me a single "enhancement" in TS4 that would appeal to legacy players.
I'm a legacy player and the WHOLE game appeals to me.
FFS, Pinstar is the legacy challenge creator and it appeals to him!
