I agree that the game has its faults and is taking a long time to add features we have had from previous games...BUT, when you consider the new elements they added through the vampire/fame trees, club system, and new modern concepts and aesthetics, you can't say TS4 has nothing to offer. Personally, TS4 is actually my favorite game because of its simplicity. It feels like a more organized and put together experience because its pack designs work well together and the colour swatches, while limiting, are usually well thought out and allow for matching items to be easier (or at least less time consuming). I think TS4 realizes its limitations and adds on gradually to prevent the system overload I often had happen to me when I played TS3. I understand why people complain, but I like that TS4 offers a new experience from past games. If TS4 did everything the past games have without taking risks, wouldn't it just be a re-skin of old content we already have that you then have to re-pay for?
