I make a sim and get them to their life I have deemed suitable for them and then I get bored instantly and have to redo it all. The game has very little in the way of normal life events. Imagine having shops to go and buy outfits because CAS doesn’t have them all unlocked without a mod/cheat. It would be nice to wear clothes of great expense because you earned it or were born into wealth (or cheated). Being able to buy jewellery as a gift for someone would be nice. Having more argument options like “argue about money” would be nice. The game still feels like the backbones even with all the EPs, GPs, SPs and those kits.

I even had that “move people into empty lots” thing on, but they move in too slow, so they die too fast. You cannot adjust that time last time I played. So I manually added people in, but it was getting too messy trying to maintain with all the loading screens. I kept hopping back and fourth, giving everyone an absurd amount of kids to hopefully balance out the lack of neighbors, and they didn’t have family trees if I moved in a kid.

It felt really dramatic, but I realized that adding that drama was the only thing holding my interest in the family for long enough to complete the goals I had set. Even when I was dedicated to playing thoroughly for goals, I was so bored by the general gameplay that I made extra kids just to kill them off later. When I finally stopped doing that, trying to get more immersed in skills/goals, it fell into a flat, boring grind.

There wasn't even a shared oven in the dorm, and randos would walk into your room to use your microwave. By the time the semester was over, all the Sims in the dorm were smelly and starving, and the dorm itself was a mess with trash everywhere. College isnt always the best time, but the Sims version was so pointlessly hard for so little reward.

Same! I had 3 expansions (I played 4 in total but had to give World Adventures back because it crashed my entire computer) for TS3 and before that played the base game for years without ever getting bored, and the packs weren't even Seasons or the city pack! There was always so much to do, making up stories would come naturally. Sometimes I just sent my Sim to work and looked about the world for the wild horses, or just played with puppies. Now I spend over an hour in CAS coming up with outfits, and several more on building a house, and then even 5 minutes' worth of gameplay is utterly boring. Every aspect of the game is only interesting the first time I play, I've ever played with mermaids again, never went to uni again, never visited Selvadorada a second time... It's so frustrating, I'd play TS3 again if I had a gaming computer and not a laptop that's already struggling.

Yes! Love the graphics of TS4, and it’s my favorite of the series to build in (though building still has some bugs that have been present since launch), but it’s been years since I’ve actually played with the actual sims themselves in TS4, which is the entire primary point of the game. It’s a life simulator for goodness sake. Out of all the features in The Sims, the life simulation should be the feature that runs the smoothest and offers the most, but that’s the complete opposite when it comes to TS4. In my opinion, TS2 will always be the best game in the series, by FAR. The gameplay for TS2 was phenomenal and always kept me engaged in actually playing with life for hours and having a household run relatively smoothly, with the expansion packs you paid for actually giving you well rounded, completed and fully functioning content with very sparse minor hiccups here and there. TS2 was the last truly exceptional sims game, it all went downhill from there, and I don’t have much hope it will ever return to its glory days if the current higher ups at EA are still calling the shots. If they made an exact copy of TS2 with better graphics and TS4 style building, I wouldn’t hesitate to immediately hand them my money.

I played a bit in Sims 4 and I can't fathom why they removed that one additional speed up that automatically turns off after sim is done with a current task. It'd made Sims 4 much more enjoyable. Hell after finding out that my sims 3 was loading so slow because it didn't detect my graphic card the only thing that Sims 4 had it going for itself, fast load time, is null and void now . Now because of how The Sims 3 had become much faster with it's loading time it's only downside dissapeared for me. It's still slower than Sims 4 in terms of loading, but the amount of space it loads is far superior. The only thing that Sims 4 does better is build mode but I never was much into building in any of the Sims games I played in.

I've returned to The Sims 3 recently, after uninstalling The Sims 4 for good.

Just this weekend, I played with one sim for hours, not only to explore tombs with World Adventures, but also just having her at home, writing trashy novels for money and doing everyday stuff that would be boring in The Sims 4. Sims in The Sims 3 (and The Sims 2, I loved that one, too) have a personality. They do stuff on their own and what they do makes sense in combination with their skills and traits (such as my sim boosting her handiness skill while working on the vintage car I bought for her). With NRAAS in the background, cleaning up the technolgical side and minimizing lags and loading times, the game is great to play.

Let's be clear, I think they got a budget. I'd say they got a nice, fine budget. Your problem is the development team. They're more focused on what's "trendy", materialism at it's most shallow. "But it's a game about getting things!" No. It wasn't. Sims was about a simulation of a character's life. That is what is missing, the character. There is none. There is ants that look like humans that crawl around on the screen and do things that even Ants would sneer their noses at. There is such a lack of effort on simulating relationships, events, or experiences coupled with an utter lack of care about the product. Part of me wonders if the design team is as vapid as the simulation of S4. It's not wide as an ocean, or more than an inch deep. It reminds me of a lot of corpo environments these days, filled with Yes men and women who do NOT manage or lead; they care about the "mean viable product". This is the kind of product you start getting when that happens. Yes, there are some customers who go headlong into it. Most probably haven't played the older games and don't know what they're missing, OR, money is no object to them and they're happy to spend big $$ for an hour or two of time and then move on. I used to think that was crazy and a fiction, till I worked in a "trendy" part of America and regularly saw people spit out $20 per drink, at a bar, every Friday night. It wasn't that the drink was good even.. it was just something some music artist liked and they "were in the moment." Asking them about it confirmed, it wasn't that it was "good" it's that they wanted to be seen. I'm sure that's part of the reason the collapse hasn't come for this franchise either; there is a lot of society these days that is unabashedly about excess and waste. I'm not arguing against Sims 4 if you enjoy it, good for you, but I'm arguing *you deserve more for your money*. MIND YOU: When Sims has REAL competition, EA will either kill Maxis and Sims, or look at making a better product. Considering what happened with Simcity...

While he never worked on any Sims titles, the horror stories he's told me are enough to convince me that the root of the problem is with the higher-ups. Sure, the devs have probably made some missteps here and there - they're only human after all - but I really feel for them, and really get the feeling that they care about the game and are doing the best they can while working under the thumb of a company that only really cares about the almighty dollar.

As an irl developer, i know there's blame all around. Whether it's the business pushing things that they require but are not the best ideas or the devs not pushing back on things or not taking the time to develop the best quality, qa missing things while testing, or just that the team is being pushed so much to finish business requirements that they aren't getting to their tech debt backlog. From my experience, having the business back off for a time so tech debt can be addressed is very important. But also so is getting out of the rut that is created when things go wrong for whatever reason and it forces work to be shabby to be done in time. If i remember right, sims4 has a set release schedule for their dlc. So unless they skip a dlc to work on things like tech debt, it's most likely that things will continue to be poor in quality because they're behind in the development cycle. Who knows, maybe the new game will adopt a new type of development cycle from the last. Maybe they're trying to finish every task within a set time rather than working on a task until it is completed. So when i blame the game being bad quality, i blame it on everyone.

Sims 4 feels like a downgraded Sims 2 but with better graphics. There are a lot of things I like about Sims 2 that get improved over to Sims 3. I remember loving the exploration aspect from Sims 3 and how the vehicles in Sims 2 actually matter now in Sims 3. Sims 4 still has that "exploration" thing but due to how the neighborhoods are designed, the vehicles seem useless even if they put them in. So, they stripped it entirely...! Come on now. If they couldn't make it work, at least leave it in and not have us felt that it's "stripped away"...! And the Universities...! The entire university thing in Sims 4 feel more like chores than fun. Sims 2 and Sims 3 had great Universities expansion. Well, at least Sims 4's university allows our Sims to pursue multiple degrees...but that's all about the merit it provides. All in all... EA has forgotten that the Sims Expansion Packs should *expand* the game. These shouldn't just be contents that're downloadable. They need to add onto the gameplay and make it livelier.
