Where is the fun in that?Moving around in Sims 4 is not as clean as it is in Sims 3
When compared to Sims 2 and 3, you are really limited as to what you can do, such as multi tasking between sims.. for example
They even say "a well-cared for sim is a happy sim" when the needs are high, as if they cannot do anything on their own without the player and are "pets", which in Sims 3, the Sims could go about their lives without any players (with Story Progression, e.g. and personalities), choosing jobs and such, but obviously often wouldn't get promotions or be as successful as with a player
n’t understand why EA didn’t just work on cleaning up what they already had in The Sims 3.
We have called customer service on 3 separate occasions and no one is able to help us log in so that our daughter can play the game absolutely horrible
I know why they killed CAS, but having just a handful of colors to choose from is a bad
no services anymore- object CAS is gone, if you're not satisfied with the provided object colors you'll have to either download a 3rd party program to do your own recolors or ask someone in the community to hook you up
All you are paying for in this version of the Sims is a better CAS and build tools
While these things disappoint me, I do love the new CAS
I overshare because these are the kinds of things I would want to know, myself).The Sims 4 CAS was fun, picking the traits was entertaining, and playing with genetics was enjoyable
This would have been closer to an expansion, especially comparing it to the content and options available in Sims 3 base game
In an effort to focus more on the sims acting more like real people they neglected options and variety.
I will not be buying any expansion packs and since I've thoroughly explored all available options in this game I most like will not play it until I get nostalgic for The Sims
I feel like the Sims 3 had more options when it came to clothing, hair, etc in the base game
There aren't enough options here to even consider this a BASE GAME
Worst game ever - Don't Waste your Money, its nothing like the other Sims
Its just blah I'd save your money and put it towards Sims 3 and expansions if you haven't already gotten that!
Maybe the game would be more interesting after you buy all the add-ons and extensions but frankly I have no desire to waste my money
My advice is don't waste your money, find a game that's not a digital download
I have owned every Sims game and expansion that ever came out from the original Sims until the release of Sims 4, that has ended as I'm not going to waste my money on an upgrade to an old game (Sims 2)
: well, emotions must be pretty nice... but after some time, I realized that it was nothing new
ALL the sims, therefore, will nearly have the same social reactions based on their bland 5-emotion options with little variety, because their is less emphasis on traits
The new emotions are great, and the sims seem more alive
: well, emotions must be pretty nice... but after some time, I realized that it was nothing new
Character development is lifeless, relationships are useless, emotions are useless
That's a reasonable question, especially after so many people experienced performance issues with [i]The Sims 3[/i] on machines which [i]should have[/i] been able to play the game well (even some expensive, top-of-the-line gaming PC's had trouble with that one)
While they're in labour they can still walk around and do stuff which is good too... but so far those are about the only positives I've found as I think the graphics are bollocks too, the grass now looks like it's a messy watercolour painting that's run into itself

However, many key features of Sims 3 were taken out that don't seem to make sense, and unless these features are reintroduced, fans will still be a bit disappointed.
But if you, like me, were a big fan of the Sims 3, be prepared for some serious disappointments
I went from an avid fan to someone who cringes when you mention the Sims
Many are fans of the new Create a Sim, but I personally don't like it and prefer the old Sims 3 version.
But I'm a die hard Sims fan so of course I bought Sims 4
However, I don't find this all that annoying (especially when the sim 3 I had a solid 15 minute loading screen)
Annoying load screens whenever you want to go anywhere: check
I find the game play boring and do not like the static screens when switching neighborhoods
TS4 is claustrophobic to me and I find that I keep my sim at home much more just to avoid those lame loading screens (there's a loading screen even to visit your neighbor!)
(loading screens that would not load, relationship bugs, etc.)
If you have a Sim view a tragic clown painting a certain amount of time this will send the tragic clown to your house depressing everyone
The tragic clown from the original The Sims series has made a return with a certain painting
but this comes with tragic clown outfit for your CAS so if dress up your Sim in "Tragic Clown" attire you unlock the ability to be permanently sad giving you a few new interactions that will only help you and your Sim remain sad as in fact any Sim that's near a tragic clown or someone that is wearing the outfit will be sad alone just for being in close contact
No thanks.)I forgot about it until weeks later, when my boyfriend told me that some new additions had been made (pools, basements, aliens, the tragic clown, and more clothes options)
(x)No random or accidental deathsNo repairman (x)No repo man - (x)No restaurantsNo skin slider (x)No swimming in lakes or the oceanNo swingsNo tragic clown or social bunny (x)No way to watch a Sim commute to work/school
