This is a wonderful feature and the biggest selling point of the whole game

It has some better features - in Create-a-Sim especially, but given the difference moves made between Sims 2 and 3 there now seems to be a backslide

The game has better graphics and some cool new features but after playing it for half a day I got bored and downloaded TS3 along with the expansion packs and find that much more entertaining

The create a sim feature is weird: while you can tweak details of a person, you are stuck with very few options on personality, interests, and clothing options

Sure, the game is missing some features like ghosts and toddlers

I don't need to go into the 89 missing features - those have been covered in blogs

The create-a-sim is really a cool feature that they have made better

After 2 years we still do not have toddlers and all the important basic features (create a style, story progression etc).The AI is dumb and the sims are way more stupid than the sims in the Sims 3.The game is doomed, do not buy it.

You need to view this as a new base game, and a lot of content that we have gotten used to is now gone, but the new features do make it appealing, and with a little work, this could be an awesome game, just have to wait and see what EA does.

If you stay on top of it and delete them as they come it is not as bad, but this is still a very annoying feature that seems like it could have been done

It has some cute features but even with the addition of pools and ghosts there is not much to do

The Gallery is much better that the Exchange from the Sims 3 store online and allows you to transport sims, homes etc that other simmers have built directly into your game, which is a great feature, especially for anyone who is not good at or does not enjoy building homes

** plants don't really die, you evolve them to get higher quality* back to always nice out, no weather to speak of* the wonderful new build features can be troublesome, because spaces have to be enclosed rooms for some of the build features to work properly* most of the classic cheats are still around for when they're neededEnd point, I'm not happy/thrilled with this generation of sims, and may not buy any future expansions, but will still play the copy I have once in a

It's a cute feature that simply happens to much and when it does all your children will wake up in a panic and when this happen they will end up waking up everyone in the house that lives there anyway

Lacking many basic features (which they probably will make you pay to get later)

The absolute best and totally new feature in gameplay is having The Sims be able to MULTITASK

You also lose some classic features when interacting with different objects

They completely removed create-a-style and confirmed it won't be in the game, prolly ever, cause it needs to be part of base game...this was one of the greatest features of Sims 3

ok so first off there is alot of awesome new features with the sims 4 that is a step Foward

However, new features are enjoyable, and they're continuously working on it

Those are the main major missing features along with lots of little niggling things

Many features missing from Sims 3 that makes this one feel like an inferior version

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

Can't go wrong with Sims, new features ate great too.

The game is missing far more than just a few items, its missing major major features

Its a nice feature and saves a lot of time but still allows for creativity

It does feel a lot like the first sims with some glorified features

This was an amazing feature in Sims 3.

The feature of adding in premade rooms is genius and a lot of fun.

The developers failed to deliver a game that out-shone it's predecessor in terms of actual game play, so that even it's outstanding features are rendered useless because after you've built the houses and created the Sims, you are locked into a linear, goal-oriented play style that obviously appeals to some people, but not to me

And there are some cute, fun features that I quickly became addicted to

So many awesome features are missing!)Keeping my fingers crossed for sims 5....

It's just missing so many features that make the Sims feel like the Sims

You also don't have that annoying "carpool picks you up an hour early" thing, but at the expense of losing some other great features

I love this feature because it adds realism to the game

I do miss the Open World features, but find I am too busy keeping their moods happy to even completely realize I didn't have that option.

Multi-tasking is also a great feature in this game

You also don't have that annoying "carpool picks you up an hour early" thing, but at the expense of losing some other great features

The multitasking feature is useful -- if you don't mind your Sim chatting while building a skill like Computer Programming - which makes them work SLOOOOOWLY (and no, they won't gain the skill in the 5+ hours they had before

I'll give Sims 4 the realistic aspects of the Sims resembling the person playing or however you want it, plus the cool features of unlocking stuff and aspirations/traits

First, I really like the multitasking feature

Not only does it miss features included in previous base games, the overall game feels incomplete

Yes, the sim creation was a great feature, the house building was too, but the create a style tool allowed you to make things hundreds of ways different

I've always loved the sims and especially loved the building features of sims 3 (and the sims play features of sims 2)

and it’s one of my favorite features in the game

I gave it a 2 star rating instead of 1 because they have been consistently patching the game every month, adding some of the missing features back in for free and others in DLCs

This game is fun to play, dig in and find out all the cool features

This is my favorite feature because its so similar to real life, people have unique body shapes, face shapes, head sizes and Sims 4 allows you to create all of that, no more 'barbie doll" type figures literally the possibilities are endless

It is such an amazing feature

You also lose some classic features when interacting with different objects

Then lack of family trees, that was one of my favorite features about Sims 3

The gallery is an amazing feature that actually works well

I loved the graphics and features of this game

That was a really cool feature that the sims 3 had

It's more like Sims 1 and 2 as far as features.

Ghosts also have new features such as scare, passing through Sims, possessing items (previously your Sims could only do this autonomously but now you can choose to have them do this yourself with a single click), they also come with a unique ability depending on how they died such as starting fires, decaying your plants, breaking electronics, and sharing emotions if they died by the new emotional deaths such as death by anger, embarrassment, or hysteria

Yes the game is missing a few features but is definitely worth buying

but it's my greatest missed feature

If EA Game thinks the only new feature, that Sims feel happiness, sadness etc. will satisfy us

I love this game and all its new features

But The Sims 4 only adds one noteworthy feature, the emotions system, which honestly isn't that fun anyway and gets boring REAL quick

Story progression (even how flawed it was) is an amazing feature of the Sims 3, but it was quite a common occurrence for public places to just be.. barren in the Sims 3.. not so in the Sims 4.-Flushed out life children

There are some amazing features with the personality - but limited on trait selection, and multi tasking seems like such a small

This new version of Sims has some nice features

This is an amazing feature, but should had been available for the game anyways

and EA stripped so many features that it is just sad.the new world map is just a complete disappointment!

I love all the new features, the traits, the way skills occur, and the ability to have male sims wear feminine clothing and visa versa

This version of the Sims has two great features.

The lighting provides nice atmosphere, and there are some cool new building features like walls of different heights, curved fences, the ability to move rooms and whole buildings, the ability to add foundation of different heights AT ANY POINT during building.

The town in so small you only have a few homes to work on and the building feature is horrible

So what was the big feature they added to this game, to make up for the missing features

It's such a nice feature

A really fun feature is a drag and drop feature where you can drop in a completely furnished room which saves a lot of time

Graphic could be better and gameplay could be smoother (some features are missing)

I enjoy the 'play with genetics' tool and the way you can manipulate features just by pulling and pushing

Now that those infamous toddlers are in the game and EA brought back several of these missing features, I feel this game's rating should be higher

Great features but missing some of the Sims 3 additions when it comes to cheats or certain products to use

There are some amazing features with the personality - but limited on trait selection, and multi tasking seems like such a small

Story progression (even how flawed it was) is an amazing feature of the Sims 3, but it was quite a common occurrence for public places to just be.. barren in the Sims 3.. not so in the Sims 4.-Flushed out life children

Other great new features include the ability to change the curvature of the roof (Convex

This was a pretty big issue for me in the Sims 3, everyone looked way too similar unless they had some exceptionally strange feature

The game also has some really fun features with your aspirations and your career goals

but it's my greatest missed feature

that was pretty important feature.

It reminds me most of the mobile/tablet game The Sims FreePlay in how the Sims act, walk, do whims, and even look, as well as in how the gameplay is very short-focus-oriented

I love it even though it lags a

, I never clean my bathroom sink as much as they do)

There are a few glitches that I've seen, but nothing detrimental as of yet

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

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

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

Just not as good as I had hoped for

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

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