I have so many mixed feelings about The Sims Franchise.
First, I fell in love with The Sims, and enjoyed to eater eggs that were there, adopting your own dragon, the magic, all of that jazz. I fell in love with the Goth Family.
Then the Sims 2 came out. OMG, that was a mind blowing gem. It picked up - basically - where The Sims 1 left off and built on it. Now, we have a new backstory and Don Lothario - which was my favorite sim ever - don't ask why. Plus, I loved owning my own business. I ran everything from an Art store, to a bakery to a brothel (yes I wrote brothel). I absolutely loved dating in the sims and them going out on dates, shopping was fun, Plus, here, I believe is where we got the customization options in furniture and the first real set of cheat codes. Other than the world not being open concept, The Sims 2 was the most perfect game that came to mind.
Then The Sims 3. This injured my love for the game. While I love the game, it was - no matter what type of computer you had - slow. Most of the quirkiness from The Sims 1 and 2 were taken away and replaced with different things that were not as recognized as The Sims as previous games. While I did grow to love The Sims 3, it did not have my heart.
Finally, the Sims 4. This killed my love of the game. I did like that it was faster and I did like the graphics, but it is boring. The free play was, in a way, replaced with goals and quests. There didn't seem to be much need for it.
I am not certain what to think about the Sims 5. After the shambles that is Sim City and the multiplayer aspect of it, I am not looking forward to it. Plus, if the past with Sim City is any indication, it is going to be so buggy that people will not be able to get on because of the server errors. They will, as they did with Sim City, have to make it where the game can be played offline, which will defeat their purpose of a multiplayer game.
