Sims 4 is actually gonna be so bad...

[AgnesIO]

I don't get why everyone is moaning so much about Sims 4

People are comparing Sims 3 with EVERY expansion, to Sims 4 with no expansion, thats why people think it sucks.

I personally think it's sick.

If it is sick it must be bad :S

The Sims 2 and The Sims 3 base games both had more features than The Sims 4. The Sims 4 is pretty bland in comparison. So comparing it with expansions or no expansions makes no difference as it's a very featureless game in general.

I got Sims 4 on the day it came out, and I believed it would be stupidly bad that I wouldn't play on it again. However, I've discovered that it isn't the worst game I've played and although some of the features don't replace what was on Sims 3 there are some new ones that are really odd yet interesting.

I miss the open world the most and the ability to just randomly go to someone's house and switch between my family easily if I'm somewhere else. I don't min the loading screens, but I still wish it was open. I also miss create a style too, that would have made the create a Sim 100% better as it was used so much in Sims 3. I also found out, from my Sim starting a fire in the house that you can no longer have police, firemen or mechanics - they don't exist, with this means there are no burglars, hence no burglar alarms. I found this out trying to search for it and having no fireman come to my house when the alarm sounded.

Some of the features I like though are the advanced emotions, they're actually interesting especially when there are tips and trips on improving moods and such. I like the ability to take a pregnancy test, and plan the couple's wedding at a cost, ageing up a baby early if you wish too (plus the added interaction there).

One thing though, I thought the story didn't progress if you weren't on that household - I then found that this isn't the case and my neighbourhood's been dying all over the place when I have the normal life expectancy on. Even Mortimer Goth died @Intersocial; .

I do really like the game though, apart from some stuff .

I think the basic game isn't all what my expectations were and they were as high as the trailer and how they made the game seem. I literally think I rather just go buy a Sims 3 game instead since the Sims 3 basic game has more things to do and makes earning money easier.

After everyone complaining, they've decided to add pools back in to the game in November
And they've also added ghosts back in too, some more old features.

• In November, get your Sim-suits ready (too much pun? Sorry!) because pools will make their triumphant debut in The Sims 4.

• December is Put-Your-Sims-To-Work Month, as we introduce new Career paths and rewards.

Good to see that they're listening to the fans. The addition of ghosts is good too.

Too little too late in my opinion. It's still not worth that price mark for a game that should have been developed to improve on The Sims 2 (The Sims 3 is a write off).

[MKR&*42]

EA's motto:

EA: Axing "unnecessary" features then readding them regardless.

It's good they're adding them back though, I didn't even know you couldn't get ghosts atm wtf (must have skipped over it in the list)

[:odey:]

Atleast its free. Is all I can say.

If they'd included it in an expansion pack, I probs would have raged, giving us old stuff for a price, but, its free. Free is always good.

[AgnesIO]

Am I the only one that is disappointed by how much emphasis they have put on Create-A-Sim versus everything else?

Genuinely the most mundane part of the game anyway.
