Why does the Sims 4 suck so much?
Product: The Sims 4 Platform:PC I want to talk about something you don't mention above: How accessible is the current experience? It's useless to me Summarize what in the product is difficult to...

@Dequan_Gambrell, many of the things you want in the game actually are in the game if you bother to get the Expansion Packs! So, The Sims 4 does have :
family trees
swing sets
illnesses
hospitals
bugs/rodents
ghosts
different elevations
way more than 3 books!!!
many empty lots in New Crest (that is all New Crest is!)
the ability to go to work with your Sims in 4 different careers (Police Detective, Doctor, Scientist, and Veterinarian)
and even decorative cars (just enlarge the toy/model cars with keyboard commands)
😉
And you don't have a Comfort Need anymore because this is taken care of with moodlets. Get enough bad moodlets and your Sims will be uncomfortable, and you will need to find ways to fix their uncomfortable mood. It isn't in the need panel, just in the mood panel! 😎
As for some of the other things you requested such as the color wheel (Create A STyle/CASt) that was left out because it ground many people's games to a halt! 😮 What is the use of a tool (no matter how wonderful it is) if you can't play your game because of it. 😞 The same goes for why they didn't make TS4 with an open world like they tried out in TS3. Great in theory, but almost unworkable for a great many people in reality.
If you prefer TS3, then you are free to play that to your heart's content! 🙂
Finally, it is against the rules here to type in all caps because it is viewed as shouting. I understand your passion on this issue, but you catch more flies with honey than with vinegar! 😉
Happy Simming!
we shouldn’t have to PAY for content disguised as “expansion packs” that should be free. Come on now, you can’t seriously tell me it makes sense to make players pay to have pets, or to make them PARENT. You literally have to pay for everything and usually what you’re paying for isn’t even worth it because you’re just paying for a buggy glitchy mess. That’s why people use mods. I’ve defended the sims for a while but after buying the sims 4 high school years, (yet another pack that was ridiculously overpriced) i’ve given up. I spent my hard earned money for a dumpster fire with clearly no love put into it and i’m angry. The only reason I haven’t completely gotten rid of the game is because I’ve spent so much money on it.
@simmerstasia , you do not have to pay to have your Sims parent/raise children... you only have to pay if you want a more detailed experience of parenting, which many people don't , especially if they are the type of people who mostly play with one Sim households (with Sims who love to party, go out, etc.) or prefer to have couples without children. Those people wouldn't want to get the Parenthood GP. But Players who love to play Sim families would want to get that pack! Also, it is an excellent pack in my opinion. But you can still raise children without this pack, it just wouldn't be as detailed. 😉
Also, with almost every type of pack I have run into someone who thinks that pack should be in the base game.🤨 We would end up with no packs at all, just one humongous base game! 😅Having a huge base game would somehow be worse? For who? The shareholders at EA. Seriously 95% of what they try and sell us via packs is all things that were previously just part of the game in earlier sims games. Not to mention a TON of earlier content like vehicles, open worlds, robbery/burglary, dynamic relationships and a entire aspiration system that was not a cakewalk to game.
In previous sims games it took a entire lifetime to complete their aspiration, now I can rags to riches starting homeless and with 0$ and be a millionaire in under 30 sim days, entirely completed at least 4 entire aspirations. The game is as shallow as a puddle unless you throw the cost of a used car at it. IF you had added every single pack to the base game for free you might actually start to be a actual sims game.@PugLove888but you Do have to update even if you do not buy the pack and update has so many bugs and ruined the game with faces cross-eyed and sunken in, vampire run and werewolf run all messed up and only used on lots, not outside! Only with update did this happen! New wants and fears are repetitive and buggy, and townies spawn in friendship list without even meeting them?! ALL from UPDATES for new cash grabbing, buggy packs! You are Ruining this game and never will I buy another thing from money hungry cash grabbing EA!
@Skeeter55555 , I'm sorry I missed this response from you when you posted it. 😓
All Sims games have been buggy. I still remember some of the bugs from the original The Sims game!
While some of the bugs might come from updates, many bugs are also fixed in those updates, as well as it is how we get new content and free features. 🙂
You mentioned that: "update has so many bugs and ruined the game with faces cross-eyed and sunken in". I have not seen that. Either I missed something when I had to miss playing for some time this Summer due to family issues, which would mean that that has since been fixed since I'm not seeing it now, ....
Or else you have a case of outdated Mods or Custom Content (CC), and that is what caused the warped faces. The developers can not be responsible for the thousands of Mods and CC items that exist. It is up to the makers of Mods/CC to update the items that they create, and up to the people who download them to stay on top of the maintenance of all their Mods/CC that they choose to add to their game! (I do not like to do such upkeep, so that is one of the main reasons that I do not play with Mods and CC.😅 )
