5 out of 10
It really doesn't deserve any lower than that, because it still has the elements that makes it a life simulator game. I just don't like that it is taken as a sequel, because:
- It continues to be less and less sandbox game than any other previous titles.
- Revolutionary additions we're promised: emotions and multitasking - are so borked that you could only forget about say and make them as a record score of the biggest fails brought in TS4.
- Sims, peeps themselves, are less dynamic and diverse, because, blame and point at stupid implementations of emotions that rendered trait system to uselessness.
- So buggy.
- and all etc stuff that I pointed out across the forum with the fallacies this game as (I can't recall all of them at this very moment, because there's too many of them and that itself proofs how a failure this game is in the franchise).
As for other reasons why it still has a half of the wholescore and not any lower than that:
- Huge upgrade in CAS (Create A Style).
- Intuitive BUILD MODE.
- Gallery System/Addition.
- Other minor features & details (club system, lot traits, improved animations, etc).
I'm kinda surprised all of us thought to give off the same score.
