TS4s sims are more simpler too like TS2s i'm like loving what i'm seeing so far i'm dying to get in the game, i feel that people got too distracted by all the extra packs though to truly pay attention but i did :P TS4 may not have all the extra details yet... but they keep adding stuff and i hope they eventually add in all the little details and definitely get rid of the creepy constant smiling LOL if it looks right to do that, i'm just feeling like i can just install, explore two different worlds (and i only want 2) and start off where i left off but sort of better, it just feels like TS2 2.0 but with some influence from TS3 and TS1 and i'm super glad the sims look decent again i couldn't buy TS3 with the sims face looking awful and the graphics just looks odd i dunno what it is but it's not appealing to me, but it still didn't exactly give me the improved Build Options i wanted so i waited lol.
With TS4 now it's time to just really sit down with the game and have fun with it especially the Build Tools, everyone wanted all the features but it's also not the best idea to have SO much LOL, a lot of people coming into the game now are those who're now the kids and teens so a lot of them don't know but those who were long term players a lot of them seem to have strangely forgotten lol i've had to remind people the sims were still the same and used the same animations except for the accents from each Aspiration but they don't get it mainly it's those who played TS3 but now it's 50/50 you can get TS2 to work on a 64 bit system a lot of the young ones won't be able to play it so they have nothing to compare to, which is sad i wish they experienced what we did.
In TS1 i just got too irked by their Needs, how many puddles i had to mop up *sigh* LOL then TS2 came along and i was like yup... that's a lot better, i wouldn't go back to TS1 the music is still amazing i can just listen to that i may actually play it while in Build and Buy mode cos TS4s music is clearly inspired by it. Yeh a lot of things came from TS2 though definitely they weren't always there but were added with Expansions like Saving Food that was added in Seasons because they had gardening plots and a juicer so i guess they thought "Why not preserve food?" lol.
