Most of us in the TS3 forum have played either the Sims 4 demo and found it lacking or have played the actual "released" game. Just because we take exception to certain aspects that we've found missing in Sims 4, doesn't make our opinions any less objective than those players who have been playing Sims 4 for a long time. As far as we are concerned, we've taken a measure of Sims 4, compared it to the previous iteration and found it sorely lacking.
To the Sims 4 proponents - If you like the game, good for you. But for me, it's lacking so much that I will NOT put down good money for a game that I find is not playable to my style of gameplay.
