TJ - then I suggest you sit back and observe - but all the sims series have always been related and if they drastically changed it a lot of us would no longer see the game we so much love - even as imperfect as it has tended to be. I am not made of money for sure - but I have no doubt I will be buying Sims 4 base game and judge for myself - that is the kind of person I am. EA is not telling anyone to jump onto the next series - they respect their older versions and the simmers that play them enough to include them in their new all in ONE "The Sims" forum - so I see they "get it" and understand that a new series makes some people leary while others will go blindly just because it is new.
As far as cost - I do not resent a dime I have spent on sims - not even the Sims 1 and 2 that I no longer play, because they went to other people in my family so to me the money was well spent and still giving somebody enjoyment. As my only form of recreation besides television now a days I can easily justify buying sims 4. I realize not every one is confined to their house and can go anywhere they want any time they can afford it - and have a lot more interests than gaming - so they can't really justify the expense - especially if there is nothing about the new series that sparks their interest. That is the beauty of people - we are all different - our lives are different as much as our reasons for things we can do or want to do. If you see all you want to see in Sims 3 - then I fully understand your point and respect the fact you want to stay with what you have.
We do need to respect others who see things they want in the game with new technology not possible on a 10 year old game engine which by the way I know is a 3 D game engine specifically. So saying everything in the sims 4 could be made possible for Sims 3 - well I don't agree or really disagree - as fact is we do not know that for a fact and I actually doubt some of these ideas would work at all in Sims 3. But to each their own. You have the right to believe what ever you want to and stay with Sims 3. I would rather have the best of both worlds - keep playing Sims 3 and exploring Sims 4. I have a lot of time - God willing - and can't do much else.
Rflong that is good to know it is not the Ice box or glassbox engine. That I was concerned about. So it does sound like a new CAW for sure then. As Sims City 4 and Sims 2 were built on the same engine according to what is listed in the core game engine lists. There is no entry yet in there for Sims 4 but there is one for the new Sims City. So that alone relieves my mind of any doubts I had at all.
