Consequences in the Sims 4
[ Spoiler ] A big thing that a few of the community have mentioned the game lacks is Consequences for sims intertactions. There doesn't seem to be any real meaning full substance / comparitive reali...
Yes I agree with you. I think generally the further the Sims travels as a game the more development people expect to see regarding real life experience and how occurances are dealt with. And it's re I forced by the games slogan... 'Play with Life'. But saying that the Sims 4 seems to have travelled in the opposite direction. It's almost as if the developers started learning about the sims game from scratch with the new platform that EA took with The Sims 4. I get this impression when comparing Sims 2, 3 & 4 and taking all the problems /glitches & bugs into account which is really all that was in the previous games & should not still be an issue in a game in its 4th 'generation' series. So in the end my theory is that this series was a major experiment that resulted in a somewhat watered down version of what should be a very advanced game by now (including knowledge & practical development of Graphics /advanced technology/modifications & game fluidity).
@HERB405 , I had heard rumors that TS4 was supposed to have been an online game that got scraped at the last minute for some reason. However, I've also heard that it was supposed to be a mobile game. If I am to believe either of these scenarios, it would be the online one. That could explain why people find it not as fleshed out as TS2 and TS3. But even if these claims are just rumors, I do know that TS4 has a completely different game engine from TS2 and TS3! That would also account for some of the differences. Also, TS3 did run poorly on many people's computers, with laggy gameplay, grinding to a halt, and even crashing frequently 😢 -- and so the developers have said to avoid such problems they didn't include an open world (just some open common areas) , which I was happy to see since I had a lot of problems with TS3. That said, there are a lot of improvements in TS4 such as the ability to multi-task, that I really love! 💗
This is why I like the Sims Medieval, there are consequences to the sims behavior. 🥰
