The Sims 4!

I'm feeling iffy about TS4. I'm not sure there's enough gameplay. They've taken out big features and replaced them with things that aren't as good, in my opinion. I'm not buying it until I see gameplay videos that convince me for sure. And that price, ouch. Maybe after a couple EPs it'll be good (if they're like TS2 EPs and not TS3). I've been playing The Sims 2 Ultimate Collection lately, and I just feel like that was the best game. Maybe I'm wrong and TS4 will be absolutely amazing, but I can't help feeling like nothing will beat TS2.

I'm kind of upset with a lot of the executive decisions such as spending way too much on animations and "moods" as opposed to focusing resources on stuff that should be there such as pools/toddlers but anyway! That's beating a dead horse since they're not going to be in the base game and probably won't be implemented later since pools aren't allowed by their game engine.

I got the CAS demo and it's really nice. If anything the sims making process is a lot of fun, kind of dull and repetitive when it comes to clothing since there's no CASt but overall it's phenomenal and my sims finally look unique. I'm excited to see what the full game allows in terms of creating other age sims and new clothing options. Also build/buy mode is just to die for~

I have it, and I love it!
I do agree with others that as a base game, there's not a whole lot to it. They took a bunch of stuff out and at first I didn't understand why. The careers are lacking, there's no fire department, and it's not open world (yet). The toddlers and pool thing doesn't bother me much because toddlers used to annoy me anyways (although I did like the babysitter career track) and pools will probably be included in an expansion pack.
That being said, the graphics are beautiful. It's fast and smooth (loading screens take no time at all), and the sims themselves are great. They can finally multitask (i.e. play on their tablet while using the toilet and eating food while watching tv and having a conversation) and their emotions are definitely entertaining.
I heard they are planning on bringing out around 100 mini expansions so I'm sure all the content that's lacking will be available at some point. I'm not too worried about it tbh. A lot of people are complaining about it, but I'm really enjoying it so far.

I don't know.

It's only a good game if you (I use this 'you' because saying anything else is weird, I don't mean you specifically) can accept the fact that features like toddlers, pool, and driveable cars will have to be bought later for more money than the entire expansion pack is worth. If things like that turn you off, it's going to be very hard to enjoy it.
I'll never buy this game. I have high expectations of games nowadays, and the only game that can never meet it is Sims.

It doesn't look fun anyways. The only awesome thing is the build mode and multitasking.

I'm a loyal sims fan, ever since the first one. It really pains me to see a good franchise being whored out for lots of money. I'll still enjoy playing the sims, but EA ****ed up and they're never getting my money again. It's nigh time we set sail, to the pirate bay!
