4 Years Later
My opinion remains the same. Sims 4 has been overall just meh. The worlds too small. Even with all the stuff packs, and the expansions the content is too little. Then there's the bugs. If wasn't for M...

I personally feel that Sims 4 has improved quite a lot after the toddlers were finally introduced. (I love these toddlers. Best toddlers ever!) Vampires was another great pack, and Seasons really helped revitalize my interest in Sims 4 after a long drought or tiny trickle of content. :smiley:
My score went from around maybe 4/5 to maybe 6 and now (especially with toddlers, Vampires, Parenthood, Seasons combined with Get Together) around 7, maybe edging into 8. :smile: :heart:
However, even though I love playing it, it is still very limited and is still missing some content compared to the past Sims games. Plus, there were some bug issues here and there (and some simmers got more bugs than others).
I do love a lot of the content, but it’s been four years, and I’m still waiting for a beach world or ocean swimming and other occult’s, etc. And the babies are just meh for me (who always loved babies in Sims) being chained objects like back in Sims 1. And a lot of the creative aspects and tools are limited compared to past games (ie no color wheel, no CaST, no CAW, etc).
I LOVE the toddlers, vampires, the Get Together club system, the calendar, and some other stuff, so I do still play it a lot.
I just... don’t feel it has reached that “excellent potential” after four years. It’s not quite a 9-10 Rating game; I give that rating to Sims 2 and Sims 3 (yes, even with my mixed feelings about Sims 3, lol!). Those games pushed the envelope of progress for the Sims series and also provided more content and gameplay depth in four years.
I still love Sims 4. It does have a lot of glimmer of potential to reach that, and it does introduce some nice cool stuff, but the limited budgeting and perhaps the engine is inhibiting some of that really high potential.
I love it, but those first two very frustrating (for me) years could have been better, and I feel there are some budget limitations or something that’s stopping it from becoming a potentially really great game.
Hope they keep improving the game, fixing bugs, and adding more content. I still love the game.
That’s my personal opinion, of course. :smile:
