The Sims 4!

I think I'll get sims 4, but I might wait a while cus I just got a new computer and am getting back into sims 3 which i haven't played for a year since my other computer died on me...
 
is there really no toddlers in sims 4? will it be added in expansion packs?

They might be. I stress might because I don't know how they'll add a new life stage in an EP to be honest. :/

I don't think TS4 is going to be worth it anymore. No ghosts, no medical careers.. only "new age" jobs. -.-
No babysitters, no cars, babies are STUCK to the crib.. pretty much OBJECTS. It's like 5 steps forward, but 20 steps back.

No terrain tools besides the "paint" tools. You must have either foundation or no foundation; can't have both. Smaller lots and smaller worlds. No open world. No story progression.

No fears. No favorites. No grocery stores. No male body hair. No private schools.

For Sims 4, all I see is "no ____".

That post made me sad but kind of happy because I spent so much money on Sims 3. Its still a good game so I think I will keep playing it for a while to come unless something jumps out in Sims 4 that really catches my attention. But I can dive in Sims 3 so I'm too happy already! ��
 
im so excited for this ;-; I NEED IT NOW.

im so glad they got rid of toddlers they were so annoynig i hated them.
and i have hopes theyll bring out pools in a future expansion pack. like "pool party" idk xD

Yeah, i agree with you, the sims franchise seems to be getting worse and worse. EA are just super greedy, even in the sims 3 expansion packs, they felt more like expensive stuff packs for most of them. They're trying to get away with selling the bare minimal. In sims 2, i looked forward to almost all their expansion packs because it added so much to the base game.

It's seems like whatever we liked, they stripped away from the sims 4 base game and will probably sell them in future expansion packs so people will have to buy them such as toddlers, pool ladders, customizations, etc.

University for Sims 2? That's a bit different since you age up to adult before you go back home. YA has always been in TS3 though.

The jobs in The Sims 4 include:

I took "new age jobs" by how someone else worded it since the jobs taken away were:

I'm guessing things like education and medical are considered "old age" and things like painter and author are "new age". Either way, this sucks.


Also, bringing attention to the height and appearance from Teens to elders:

(or the lack of height change..)

I'm actually pretty excited for the Sims 4 to come out. I did like the Sims 3, but it didn't keep me hooked for as long as the Sims 1 or the Sims 2. I'm also not that ruffled with the loss of toddlers or the fact that babies are confined to their cribs. I honestly kept babies in their cribs for the majority of their baby time anyway. And I would rather wait for fully developed toddlers than just a re-capped version of toddlers that the Sims 3 had. I liked the toddlers in Sims 2 a whole lot better.

I've also been playing Sims 2 recently because my fiance has the ultimate bundle on his computer now. I forgot how fun it was. Ye, it does have loading screens, but whenever I go to a community lot the lots are always packed with sims and there are always things going on. With my Sims 3, that never happened. I mean, what is the point of a club if the club is only full of one to three people?

If the Sims 4 gameplay is as fun as the Sims 2 is, then I will be a happy camper indeed.

I feel like this game barely has gameplay to be honest. All they've shown off for gameplay is emotions and how it changes their interactions.

I don't think this game will ever live up to Sims 2 either. If anything, Sims 2 will probably be around longer than it should be.. There's so much more in Sims 2 and if you take a look at what Sims 4 has, it takes away a lot of things that makes Sims 2 great.

I'm just sayin'..
 
I've never played the sims 2, and I don't plan to. I'm a stickler for graphics, I'm sorry. I can't change that.

That is true. Also, TS4 is just a base game right now while we have everything for TS2 at the moment. So it is hard to compare the two.

I also think that there is going to be a lot more gameplay hidden in the emotions than people are realizing. After all, to have an emotion unlock certain actions you can do or to make other actions easier to do is a gameplay element. Kinda like with seasons in TS2. You study faster in the fall and build different relationships in the other seasons. But nobody is saying that those things do nothing even though they aren't new skills or anything like that.

I am really going to miss the TS2 witches though. Makin' Magic was one of my favorites in TS1 (with roleplaying elements like everyone has been complaining about on the official forums). I just like magic in general. Fantasy is fun.
 
I really like more TS3 than the TS4. The graphics are "better" the only pro of the TS4 is the no-sliders.
 
What I really dislike about the Sims 4 is how they take away from the things that actually make it a life simulator. Seriously. Taking away toddlers and confining babies to cribs? So I guess kids go from crying in a crib that they can't leave to walking around, doing homework, talking and making friends, because that's just so normal.
 
just saying The Sims 4 CAS demo is now available to everyone :blush:
https://www.origin.com/en-gb/store/free-games/demos-betas
make sure to have origin open before clicking download

I think I'll stick to just using this demo, since I really like making Sims and from the videos the new CAS looks like it will satisfy my Sim making urges. I'll stick to playing Sims 3 for everything else, I'd only buy 4 if EA somehow blows my mind with some good content/good value for money dlc, but that is probably unlikely.
