Sims 3 vs Sims 4...

Each Sims game has is pluses and detractors. I like to play both 2 and 3. The things that drive me nuts about 2, like the lack of CAST and the long loading screens drive me to play 3, while the lack of good quality socials and long loading CAST drive me back to 2 again. I see 4 in the same way. I have no intension of forsaking 2 or 3 for 4 exclusively. I will play each one when I feel like playing it and each one for me has things that the others don't. I was on the fence too about 4 and was going to wait to see how it turned out but I got a gift card from Amazon from my Mother with strict instructions to buy something frivolous (she did this for my sisters, too). I can completely respect those who want to wait and see, as well as those who are devastated because their favorite features are missing from the game. I am rather annoyed and a little weirded out over the lack of toddlers, and I am less than thrilled by how the Sims 4 marketing has been handled.
