Really? More boring pointless chores?
Absolutely NOT. I still remember hating you had to go to a store and BUY your new outfits in Sims 2.
Everything not handed to you and having to play the game? Oh, the horror.
I’d love grocery stores and having to buy clothes from TS2 in the next game. It’s a life simulator, give me more objectives and goals to work for aside from pointless aspirations and rewards which only simplify an already too easy game.
You got me all wrong. I hate how extremely easy Sims 4 is compared to older titles. That said, I don't see the connection you try to make.
Quite frankly I find playing a game that is just like reality absolutely pointless. After all, I am alive. I know what being alive is like, I don't have to simulate it.
What I WANT is to be able to do the things I CANNOT do in real life. Which is why I love Island Living, I guess. Actually spending my days living on the beach, in a climate without any of that utter horror I experience every winter, namely winter. Actually making enough money as a freelancer to only have to work two days a week and spend the rest sunbathing, diving looking at turtles, or well wear as little clothes as possible everywhere. Or having enough motivation to actually get a six pack and go to the gym four days a week.
Going to the grocery store ads absolutely zero to my gaming experience, just like laundry (or knitting) ads zero to my gaming experience. I get the same enjoyment from doing laundry in Sims 4 as I do from pausing the game and do laundry IRL. But at least I can fast forward past it, I guess.
Instead, give me some actual goals and motivations with challenges. Remove the reward store, or at least remove all "cheats" (the mermaid kelp, the potions, the total immunity to needs). Make it almost impossible to reach more than one aspiration per lifetime and only make it possible to change the aspiration when you age up so picking the correct one will be important. Make me CARE about skilling up, and not just see it as something I fast-forward thru to reach my next 100 rewards points in my latest Aspiration (of what I will have completed about 6 aspirations at death, having 30 000 reward points and earning 12 000 Simolions a day. As I said, Sims 4 has 0% challenge for anything).
