Re: Complaint about Sims and EA games
@gvftredxI played sims since sim 1 and there were always some problems especially with sims 3, but the reason for it was usually the open world not all computers could handle, but sim 4 is a bundle of frustration and poor design. So many issue need to be fixed by modders. I have no clue what the Sims team is actually doing but the list of mods I had to put in to just make this game playable is shocking. From speed up showers to simply allowing basic functions like kids walking pets. From simulation lag improvements to better emotional control. This game is so badly designed. I don’t get it why make it worse? There are so many functions that were simple and worked very well in previous installments. Open for business is far better then retail in Sims 4 that is riddled with problems. They removed open world to improve game play. That’s fine, but they forgot about adding actual game play. The animations were cut by 60% and they removed any actual hands on challenge. When ever they add new content, expansions stuff packs it’s completely disconnected from material that is already out. Just putting issues and creating a fractured game lacking in cohesion. Look at generations. How beautifully was it created. It combine the entire game into one cohesive unit. This adding packs just to dump new content is disgraceful.I don’t even think they bother play testing. Example I created a climbing club using mt komorebi and get together and guess what the activity was added to the list but not connect to game play because Sims in clubs do not actually do it. I can probably write a book on all the things that are either worse from previous games (telescope that takes up space of a lot?, microscope the size of a vehicle? A cup cake what the Ef is that thing?)or do not work at all. I mean objects that are too large, emotions that are a mess, lack of animation, shared inventories, expansions that connecting with each other, lack of any challenge, family, friends, enemies and lovers in profile blurb only (no actual game play that reflects these connections). Life simulator is a joke. Hate to tell you sims team but I don’t do push ups during weddings ceremonies and don’t weep for death if every stranger and family members should gather to watch candles being blown or a kid aging not talking to plants. I don’t get up and sit down and get up and sit down and get up and take a steps in million directions during 5 min conversation. I don’t know wtf was this development team thinking, but this game is a mess on every level except build mode. I gave up on the Sims development team giving me effing Christmas crap instead of fixing the atrocious persistent simulation lag, or fixing expansion with absurd amount of problems (get to work anyone?). But hey give me new skin tones. I mean I do not need to play this game I guess I can look at it. Because proverbs are more important then having a game that doesn’t have Sims doing the wrong things at the wrong time. I will not get Sims 5. This is the end of my journey with Sims. This game is ruined. Greed and people focusing on bull made sure of it.
