Thank you so much for this. I loved IP and when after less than a week of playing it, it just became unplayable and I really did cry about it. LOL. I had seen where someone at MTS had fixed it for download, but, I am also very challenged when it comes to any thing remotely complicated on the computer.
I'm going to print all of this out and make it my project. I have been playing TS4 , I don't hate it, nor do I love it. What I am most of all, is bored with it. TS3 in my opinion was a potential masterpiece, I will never understand why EA/Maxis did not take more pride in this and correct problems.
I'm with you here, though I admittedly refused to purchase TS4. In my opinion, I could not rationalise spending a very high amount of money on a base game, when they literally just dumped this entire franchise after they got money and started work on TS4. TS3 is a broken game. I paid over €300 (probably more than that!) on all the EPs and SPs for TS3, only for them to leave me with a broken game. I'm out of pocket due to this with a game that I cannot play the without at least one mod (Overwatch), and I can't play IP at all due to the lag and the necessity to basically go through the entire town and make massive changes each time I want to start a new game there, and as such, I will never just 'move a sim' into that neighbourhood and that's a shame as that was a feature that actually came with that EP! Anyway, I'm ranting but I'm allowed. I spent a small fortune on this game and it's unreliable and is not being maintained, despite the fact that it was broken when it was sold to me. No other retail item would get away with that, but I suppose because it generally functions outside of IP, they can say it works.
