Adding more "content" does not necessarily result in a deeper simulation. In fact, The Sims 2 is the most immersive simulation in the franchise. However, subsequent editions shifted towards an open-world concept with additional features that were not as immersive as The Sims 2. Unfortunately, the franchise lost its direction after that point. The Sims 4 lacks depth and is overly simplistic, which makes it seem more suitable for younger audiences. Even with an endless supply of DLCs, the game remains shallow and lacking in real consequences.

@@SnrubSource even in theory, for me, emotions system can only complement the system of character traits. Or to add something spicy to sim's character if he doesn't have any negative traits, for example, I would like my sim to be able to use the kleptomaniac option at some point of need, because in sims 3 only detectives and firefighters can steal things except kleptomaniacs. Or, only detectives can become hackers if a sim lacks this character trait. Kleptomania is a mental disorder, but people can steal without this disorder. Let's imagine that a sim with neutral traits in a normal good mood cannot steal, but can steal when in a shallow mood or he can only steal from a sim who has offended or angered him. But emotion system in Sims 4 looks cosmetic with certain small advantages

The primary issue with The Sims 4 lies in its use of Python as the primary engine. Although some games use Python, they are typically online games that run on the server-side or turn-based games like Civilization, as opposed to real-time games like The Sims. This is because Python is known to be slow and lacks support for the threads that are necessary for real-time games. Originally designed as a semi-online game similar to SimCity, The Sims 4 was quickly converted into an offline game following the disastrous failure of SimCity. Unfortunately, when this transition occurred, the developers chose not to switch to a more suitable language for offline gaming, instead opting to release the game as is. This decision is what caused the real harm, as it led to the game's numerous bugs and limitations in its AI, making it incredibly difficult to implement even the smallest features from previous games. Another significant problem is the abundance of bugs, with not only new DLCs but also old DLCs becoming affected by updates. The issue is that the developers prioritize fixing bugs in the newest and most popular DLCs, neglecting the older ones. This leaves players who only own older DLCs with an unplayable game that is plagued by constant breakdowns. Essentially, the developers are intentionally causing older DLCs to fail, forcing players to continuously purchase new DLCs if they want to keep playing The Sims. This is the real problem.

So many simmers shy away from blaming the gurus, and think that the ONLY one to blame here is EA, well, they ARE a part of EA, are they not? Yes, I am well aware that EA has the last say, but c'mon, the gurus are the ones who developed this game, EA doesn't decide what features should be included in the game/packs and they are also the ones who decide how gameplay should be implemented. You are absolutely correct, if they only showed humility and just admitted that they're catching up then maybe the community wouldn't be this disappointed. Instead they want us to think that we should be thankful for the free updates they have given us. I can't stand Sim Guru Ninja out of all of them, I've always thought his reactions were always fake, and it shows when he was doing those livestreams.

Am I supposed to be impressed at all the skin colors that was added 6 years after the game launched when that option was available to me at the launch of Sims 3? Boasting about the larger team size isn't exactly a boast either. It just shows how incompetent they are when compared to the smaller team back in Sims 3. And boasting about "more DLCs"? What's worth boasting about overpriced DLCs that are mostly rushed out and was filled with bugs and glitches? And not to mention that the DLCs are just things that should've been in the base game, or it should've AT LEAST been a FREE update. Things like Seasons and Pets are still DLCs. Like imagine for a minute if games like Forza Horizon 4 locking the changing seasons behind a DLC, GTA locking rain behind a DLC, RDR2 locking animals behind a DLC,... it just shows how ridiculous it is that things like Seasons and Pets are still DLC features and Simmers won't even question it.

The Sims 4 release was originally rushed out before its time because of a major leak..apparently ( which I think was just an excuse to create publicity & attention to the game). The game was created on a platform the the developers didn't fully know how to use in the first place & were learning as the game developed (as packs were released). Its common knowledge that the platform is far more powerful than the devs knew how to use to its full potential which is why we got a basic cartoon look to the sims & not a more developed/advanced render of the sims over all look. If compared to other Simulation games, the aesthetic of the game looks childish and far from a more advanced look that most simmers were expecting to get with this new release (at the time). The platform used in the Sims 4 was promised to be a major improvement 5o the bugs that the predecessor The Sims 3 had... but does it really have that much less? It might only seem like it, as the Sims 4 has half of what The Sims 3 had in in its game...& it still is full of bugs... 😢

And yes they boast TS4 sims much bigger than TS3 yet they produced GP, EP, SP that mostly just revived old features from sims 3. Even worse not as good as TS3 and locking it with multiple DLCs. They truly embrace same energy to others EA products such as Fifa & BF which is "keep using the same old game/engine while slapping fewest improvement here and there to make illusions to diehard fans so they kept buying it". The sims 4 maybe have bigger budget to their marketings than to their actual development nowadays. Your video finally summarized what is wrong with The Sims 4, and if The Sims 5/Project Rene dont have bunk beds, pool, pets, toddler, laundry, fame, and parenting or worse have even more less feature to base game.

It’s time to say welp that was The Sims on human history okay next! Frankly I won’t pay them anymore.

I was a Senior in high school when the sims 4 dropped; I turn 27 this month. The amount I have matured simply from where my adult human development years fell along side the game has majorly impacted how I view EA and The Sims. When I first started playing I was naïve and would pay up whatever because I wasn’t a gamer I didn’t know what games should cost. Fast forward and now I’m stuck in a sunken-cost fallacy, which I feel MANY older players are. I have only recently been able to kick the desire for completion since “I’m already this far.” We are being legitimately scammed.

Im not sure if they created all problems on purpose, but they really are just catching up! There is no other way to say it. That traids more would make sims too vanilla totally sounds like an excuse tho. People are complex, we want our sims complex too! If they want to make sims different from one another they should have traids that appose each other more. Like they were working with opposites in sims 2. Or get more hobbies, I dislike how every sport is the same skill.

Sims team loves beating around the bush to simply say they are LAZYYYY!!!! And the entire game is a cashgrab

I understand a lot of complaints about the Sims 4 but I never understood the complaint about personality traits, you could have more than 3 way before Growing together, most of my Sims have 10 to 15 on average 🤷🏻♀️

Reward traits aren't personality traits. Being able to go a long time without sleeping, eating or peeing has nothing to do with someone's personality. Sure, neither does lactose intolerance, but that's a different story.

@@thesimslover82884 I was thinking more of the ones you get for completing aspirations. But I agree that even from the beginning ones, there could be richer or more interesting traits

We di need to admit we habe no idea what lead to These decisions.Was it EA? Telling Maxis to just use what ther already made? All we knew is maxis did try to make it a full bg. Ther wher just overconfident wich makes sense considering ther did it 3 Times. Ts4 Situation is simulare to ts2s

What? The Sims 2 ran fine right up to the final pack and beyond... There's no similarity there at all.
