Reviews around daughter (4.22 of 5)

  • 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

Reviews around graphic (3.96 of 5)

  • The graphics are great and I am loving the new building style and immotions for the Sims
  • The graphics in my opinion are awful, they don't look like sims, they look like cartoons
  • Buy sims 3.It feels like i am playing sims 2 again just with more cartoonish graphics
  • I don't have a complaint with the 'cartoonish' graphics of your sim, they seem fine to
  • I was psyched to hear sims 4 coming out but got disappointed the graphics were reverted to the 1st generation.

Reviews around interaction (3.92 of 5)

  • The interaction between the Sims is awesome, they're way more life like than they have ever been.
  • n’t understand why EA didn’t just work on cleaning up what they already had in The Sims 3.
  • They are so much fun, and like in the Sims 3, there are special interactions that only Sims with certain traits can do
  • The graphics are amazing, the movements are fluid, and the interactions between Sims have never been better.
  • Exploration and interaction with the world and items seemed to trump the interactions between individual sims.

Reviews around cas (3.91 of 5)

  • 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

Reviews around option (3.89 of 5)

  • 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

Reviews around money (3.58 of 5)

  • 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)

Reviews around way (3.52 of 5)

  • but I do not love the way that the controls for the camera work
  • Pretty much the way I have played SIMS2 and SIMS3 is currently impossible in SIMS4 making the game uninteresting and a real disappointment
  • I spend probably 50% of my Sims 3 play time in CASt, and I mean that in a good way - I love CASt
  • The Sims 4 is amazing the way Sims relate now is more realistic
  • I like the way the sims look and the graphics, and I've played for hours without getting bored

Reviews around emotion (3.49 of 5)

  • : 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

Reviews around play (3.38 of 5)

  • The game is boring I have played sims since the first one when I was only 1 and loved sims 1 2 and 3 but this is just
  • I feel like going back in time when I was playing Sims 2
  • If you are new to The Sims games, you may actually enjoy playing this
  • I really enjoy playing sims and that is the o my good thing I got from this
  • The open playing in sims 3 was much nicer, and I miss the extra places to visit like hospitals and other places of work

Reviews around thing (3.34 of 5)

  • If you enjoyed the gameplay from Sims 2 you will like this game, but you will be missing some things from Sims 3
  • The only thing cool about sims 4 is the character customizing, other than that boring game
  • There were way too many other objects in the game for my sims to interact with to make either of those things critical "must haves"
  • All the best things from Sims 3 and Sims 2 brought together
  • With all of the great things we had in Sims 3, it was a real let down

Reviews around feature (3.25 of 5)

  • It does feel a lot like the first sims with some glorified features
  • The game is missing far more than just a few items, its missing major major features
  • Many features missing from Sims 3 that makes this one feel like an inferior version
  • Sure, the game is missing some features like ghosts and toddlers
  • And here's why:Multitasking - This is one of the best features of the game and makes the gameplay flow as never before in any Sims game

Reviews around simcity (3.00 of 5)

  • 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
  • n’t understand why EA didn’t just work on cleaning up what they already had in The Sims 3.

Reviews around garbage (2.54 of 5)

  • 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
  • There are a few glitches that I've seen, but nothing detrimental as of yet
  • but this is not limited as you can simply cancel out the filter and you can have Sims wear anything from other categories for clothing

Reviews around fan (2.49 of 5)

  • 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

Reviews around camera (2.41 of 5)

  • I haven't figured out how to use the camera that great yet, but so far it is odd
  • 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
  • The one drawback I found that does not have to do with missing content (which should be remedied with expansion packs) is the camera
  • but this is not limited as you can simply cancel out the filter and you can have Sims wear anything from other categories for clothing
  • I purchased the Sims 4 when it was on sale for around 30 bucks, so i guess it doesn't hurt as much as if i paid a full price

Reviews around fact (2.30 of 5)

  • the job choices and actually Love the fact that i just 'port' to work
  • In addition, the fact that you can't customize the colors of items anymore (a feature previously in the Sims 3) is a total bust
  • and I don't like the fact that you don't have toddlers!!!
  • but this is not limited as you can simply cancel out the filter and you can have Sims wear anything from other categories for clothing
  • While I certainly miss the fact that I can't drown my Sims with ease *

Reviews around screen (1.95 of 5)

  • 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.)

Reviews around toddler (1.95 of 5)

  • I was also very aware of the missing toddlers and pools; along with the cas limitations
  • I do hope for a family-themed expansion that gives us *well developed* toddlers, though.-No open world
  • They inexplicably took out toddlers, reverting 3 versions back to Sims 1
  • Yes, toddlers are missing but a lot of features have been restored such as pools and ghosts
  • There is no open world like Sims 3, no toddlers, no bugulers, no color wheel, and so much more compared to Sims 3
  • Read remaining 29 reviews for toddler

Reviews around lack (1.93 of 5)

  • The lack of an open world is also very, VERY disappointing
  • I purchased the Sims 4 when it was on sale for around 30 bucks, so i guess it doesn't hurt as much as if i paid a full price
  • The lack of a family tree bugs me too, as I like to keep track of them when doing a legacy challenge
  • I also do feel that the worlds should have more lots than they do and the lack of a family tree is silly as well
  • Where is the fun in that?Moving around in Sims 4 is not as clean as it is in Sims 3

  • Like I said before, there's alot of negative reviews about this game
  • I am somewhat surprised about the negative reviews because its really not all that bad

  • but people were sad that pets were not in the base game
  • I think most people here are just mad because it is not the same as the Sims 3
  • Many people are complaining that The Sims 4 seems dull or plain
  • People are complaining because there is no toddler in this game.

Reviews around clown (1.00 of 5)

  • 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
