Do you own a copy of the Sims 4?

I certainly wouldn't pay for it. I've been watching streams of it and it seems like a complete waste of money. There's nothing to do and they got rid of everything. The game glitches out all the time, which The Sims 3 did as well. Not worth $70. Get it for free if you absolutely must play it.
I wish I could get it for free ;-; but I agree, so far Sims 2 was their best game. I wonder if they're thinking of bringing things back in expansion packs?

>W<! I bought it.
Managed to grab one at a more reasonable price. I'm located in Mexico and the origin store was selling it for $35 USD, which IMO should've been the price throughout. I've not gotten many glitches thus far but honestly it feels like an HD-remake of the Sims 2 with an improved build mode. Which honestly is good enough for me since I mainly build houses.
Not worth $70 though.

Awww you're so lucky! $30 is a great price!
But that sucks about the glitches :/ do you think your computer had anything to do with it?
I'm mainly like a family tree sorta player and I enjoy making stories out of them but that's really nice! If I manage to get it for free or at a good price I should make my own house XD.
But what things do you like about it?

I've been watching a lot of videos trying to decide if I wanted it myself and it looks like some cool things from the previous games were removed, and not a lot was added. If you're planning on getting it I think you should definitely try to get it for cheaper or wait until the price drops, it's not worth $70 imo.

Ooh think you might've misread my reply. I haven't experience any glitches at all~
I really enjoy the overall look of the game + it runs extremely smoothly at high graphics on my laptop, so that's a bonus. The build mode is completely different and allows for really cool looking buildings, and even though there's no create-a-style you can still make pretty sweet looking rooms.
The CAS is great! The genetics create really cool sims and even allow you to use two sims of the same sex to create a child, which is great and something that I'd been waiting for since the sims 2. The actual sim interactions are pretty neat, there's a lot of detail in the animations. IMO the game is sort of meant to be played at the regular speed, which could be great for story creating. I tend to play at higher speeds and usually everything goes south pretty quickly if you're not careful.
Oops I did I'm sorry!!
And that sounds great! I would love to see what kind of buildings CC people come up with. I never used create a style that much because I got lazy. So far the only thing that has bothered me is no toddlers because I find them cute and It's lame that there's no open world but I think the open world made my Sims 3 run sooo slow :< and the sims 4 graphics looks amazing.
Haha that's so cool for a moment there I wondered if the game allowed pregnant men lol I like that the sims have more personality but what's there to do in the game when you already make your sim? I read some people can't find anything to do but that seems impossible with a game that costs $70 >.>

I definitely agree! I'm thinking waiting for a deluxe version as well or waiting 'till Black Friday but I am impatient lol it's probably just my hype for the game though. If you get it I hope you save some cash

Sims 4 certainly isn't worth more than The Last of Us for the Playstation line, which is only $60. Not with all the glitches and stuff they've removed. I'd wait until the price gets lower or until they start bundling it with expansion stuff so you get more for your money.
Nah. I was excited for it when I first heard about it, but then reading more on it and then seeing videos and streams of it I've kinda lost that interest. They've taken a step back with it from Sims 3, which is a disappointment. And the possibility of them re-releasing features it should have already had as paid DLC is kinda annoying.
But if they decide to start re-adding those features as free updates, I may consider it again.

Glad to be back!
I haven't played yet, but tomorrow I will play it, I think that the only good thing is the CAS. And the emotional things, cause, removing pools? Ea is more interested in having money that make happy the people that buy the game. Probably they will make a DLC like "The Sims 4: Drown your kids!" Only for 24'99$! I think that they should add more features to the normal version than in the DLC's that they will release. :/

What the person above me said. It looked cool until all that stuff got taken out.
I also don't want to feel any sort of need to buy expansion packs when they come out, considering how expensive those will be.

It doesn't look interesting to me.

I have some questions for people who have the game.
1. It looks like they rebuilt the game to really focus on sim's social interaction. Is that true? And if so is it hard to keep them happy if you're not into socializing?
2. How is the Sims AI? Multitasking? If someone is in their way do they still stand around like idiots/cancel the action?
3. How are the work/careers? I hear a lot of basic jobs got removed. Can you still micromanage how they work?
4. I've heard about decorations and clothing influencing their moods.. Is this a big part of the game? It seems really obnoxious tbh. It's like having to do several romantic interactions before you unlock things like woohoo or proposing, except in this case you have to have them in a certain room or design your house around mood modifiers...
5. Is there any challenge to the game and if so what is it?
6. Do they have personality traits and if so how much do they actually effect the sims behavior?
7. Do you feel that there is a good diversity of furniture and decorations? Is there a significant downsize from previous games?

I'm probably going to get this at some point, hopefully by the time I get it most of the bugs will have been patched. The cheapest place I have seen it is at g2a.com for ?31.70 for the limited edition version or ?26.00 for the standard edition so I'll probably buy from them.

Terrible that it's $70 for the "special edition" or whatever, there's nothing special in it at all. And just like EVERY OTHER PC EA GAME, it'll be reduced to $40 in a month or two, then finally down to either $19.99 or $29.99USD for all eternity so that they can release the DLC disks at $40 a pop to then reduce them down to $20. If someone doesn't believe me look at how Sims 2 & 3 went and Sim City 4, Societies and the newest Sim City blunder.
HUGE disappointment, there isn't really another series like The Sims or Sim City that works that well and is set up as good. Amazing how it's still such a great game even though it's such a disaster.
