The sims 4: A huge dissapointment

[Margot]

Are there any Simmers in the house?

What are your thoughts on The Sims 4?

I honestly played it for a couple of hours today only to find out that the ONLY reason I was playing was because of how nice the graphics looked. Otherwise, the amount of things limited in the game-play is depressing..

I haven't played it yet, I've heard gameplay is like Sims 2 though so I'd probably like it if that's that's the case. It might improve the experience a lot when more expansions come out for it.

wow would you rather ea not make games ever again? I don't know how it was disappointing you're just nagging at it's flaws why don't you make your own game

I can't wait until I get a laptop so I can play Sims 2 again.

I kinda expected Sims 4 to be boring. That's why you wait for expansion packs. That's the whole reason they have them. It's a money trap

I heard the features are so limited because it was rushed out by EA. .3.
The legacy challenge and CAS are basically the only things that can keep me occupied right now though, without any EPs I find playing the game normally a bit boring.​

She never said she could do better,or that EA should stop making games.I hate when people try defending games,using the worst reasons.

It definantly seems like a downgrade from Sims 3 in some areas,but an upgde in others.For example,now toddlers are attached to the carriages...That's really a dumb decision EA.But I think CAS makes up for it,it's much better now.

Wait what. Toddlers are attached to carriages? They're just permanently in a carriage? You can't free-roam as a toddler and read all of the 7849 kiddie books on the floor?

Ever since the first sims, i've bought the new releases and expansions on their release dates but I haven't even bothered with Sims 4. It just doesn't look that appealing to me. I'm quite disappointed that it's not really as open world as the Sims 3. It seemed to go backwards towards the Sims 2 with all the loading screens which i utterly despised. Usually base games have less stuff which I understand but for the Sims 2 and 3, they were still fairly enjoyable, however with the Sims 4, it seems like EA took out as much stuff as they could just so they can add it to their expansion packs later on to raise their profits.


I also miss all the customization that Sims 3 had. Anyways, i'll probably skip the sims 4 unless their expansion packs are really awesome and not just crappier remakes of sims 3 expansions.

I was just wondering about that, if that's the case it's a terrible feature and reminds me of the Sims 1 baby stage (no toddler stage) where it was permanently stuck with the cot.

Unless they changed it the day before release,yup.

Oh!Wait,I think they said there was no toddler stage,and babie's were attached to their baby carriage,sorry for the mixup.People are saying they will add toddlers in an EP.

No swimming pools, cars or create a style either.
I have the game but haven't played it much since launch week.​

 

[cielyca]

I know a lot of people complained about the cartoony graphics but I absolutely love it and prefer it over Sims 3. I think what I enjoy about the gameplay in Sims 4 though is all the multitasking. I love that it is so much easier to fill up your social needs because you can socialize while doing a lot of other stuff!

I believe they already released a patch for pools tho?

Oh.. oh.. that is slightly better. Skipping the toddler stage sucks, I really enjoyed free-roaming toddlers, lol.

But strapping a baby into a carriage sounds alright, I suppose. It always bothered me in 3 that they'd just leave a baby on the floor wrapped up in a blanket. Just felt wrong. Especially early on, when the baby sitters were like, "WELP TIME TO GO HOME" and then they left the baby on the edge of your lot, on the ground, in a blanket.


Either way, I won't be finding out for awhile. I don't usually buy the vanilla Sims game. I wait for some expansions to come out and see how they look first, maybe even wait for them to go on decent sales/bundles with the game.
And I also need to verify that it doesn't use their new dumb DRM.
Look, EA, I get it, you're hurting for money. Everyone knows you're in the hole. But I'm not gonna help until the sequel product is equal to or better than its predecessor.

The sims 4 basegame compared to TS3 is a lot better. I believe they added back pools in a free update. TS4 is ok, I like it but I'm not interested to actually buy it and future EPs. For now, I jusr piggyback off of my bff's mom's origin account because her mom is obsessed with the sims. lol

 

[matt]

Ive never played a sims game. Well, there was this Sims Pets game I played once it was my sisters. Didnt look very good

They did get two things right, the multitasking and graphics are wondrous.. maybe I just love the Sims 2 too much that I can't deal with change lol. Sims 4 is probably one of those games you have to get used to.

 

[RayOfHope]

I won't even consider buying TS4 until the Pets and Seasons expansions eventually come out, but even then, I've bought the same expansions for the other games twice now and it's getting a little tiring.

I'll probably just stick with 2 and 3 for a long, long time.

Ommg that is so true!My sims always left the baby outside in the bushes or something,OVERNIGHT.xD

I'm disappointed in the Sims 4. They talk about how personalities have devolped and how the stories behind sims are better, but all I see is an improvement in graphics.. I don't really see how sims 4 has improved from the sims2 or 3 :/

My sims always left their babies in like, the bathroom or the kitchen overnight ;w;... I remember once I thought my baby sim had just disappeared, but later when I was fencing in the house, I couldn't fence a spot and realized that's where the baby was. I also hate it when my baby sims are spawned and like, take up my whole world, or look like stretched out
