@Ethroptur Yeah, I wasn't around when Generations came out, so I didn't know what people thought about it when it was announced. I guess I can see how people might have considered it non-essential, what with it not even coming with it's own town. And I do agree that it's features probably should have been included in the base game, it really would have made it a real life simulator.
I agree with you on Into the Future. That's just what it is, a fun gimmick. You play around with it once to experience it, but it doesn't really factor into everyday play, at least for me. I don't use any of it's features/objects and have never felt the need or want to time travel after I had already done it. That only things I miss from Into the Future is the dip kiss interaction and buying lottery tickets, lol.
I think people's newfound love for Generations is due to their disgruntlement with The Sims 4. It was a prime example of devs responding to criticism in a productive manner, which is exactly what the Sims 4 team seemingly aren't doing as of late, thus causing people to re-evaluate Generations' quality. It's a great pack, and an essential one due to how much it contributes, IMO.
