About 3 and a half years into Sims 4, how would you rate it?

in my school 5.66 is far away from passable, you would need at least a 7 :#

Oh it’s passable, my son proved it last year. That was one tense year though, with a lot of counting on his part and complete surprise in the end when he heard he actually had passed :p

If you search for “gpa 10 point scale calculation” in Google it says that 0-4.99 means that you fail while 5-5.99 means that you are below average and need improvement. So I think that this describes the result of this voting quite well :)

Yup, that describes him perfectly. And the game afaic so far ;)

When I was in college, the passing mark was 60% (50% for math and 70% for humanities classes, go figure). So a 56% average would be failing.

I can certainly agree that the game still does need improvement. Last night I just realized that the clocks in my game don't reflect the in-game time at all. I know it's a tiny detail, but it's a symptom of how the base game was originally rushed. Even Sims 2 and 3 had it, and they're 5-10 years older. The game is in far better shape now than in 2014, but it still has a long way to go.

1 out of 10. Still haven't bought it. Might one day if the base game plus all the tiny add-ons are included and cost no more than $20 total. I have played it at a friend's house. The art style is a hideous combination of playdough faces and sparkly Disney princess oversaturated colors, and the loading screens and tiny worlds are ridiculous. Players are being nickle-and-dimed for every scrap of content. TS5 can't come soon enough, and if TS4 killed the series then I'm happy to stay with TS3.

5 out of 10.

I love the graphics, some facial expressions but I've been a simmer since The Sims came out 18 years ago. For me, chaos is missing in this game my families only live in a fantasy world where everything is flowers and rainbows, the thing I loved the most of The Sims franchise is the unexpected things that make you smile and say wtf happened here! I miss burglars, buying food in order to be able to cook. I don't know, in my game I've been adopted twice (I have the game since release date), my sims almost never die for emotions even when I'm trying so hard to kill them >.<, in previous sims games everything was more chaotic.

I don't miss the open world in sims 3 but I'd like to have some story progression without mods (sims getting marry, having babies, getting a job), for me it's difficult to don't enjoy this game like previous version, but my sims feel the same in every save.

I'm totally right with the fact that TS4 is still empty in certain aspects of the game, but I can't deny that graphics in TS4 are really really better than TS3. In TS3 Sims were hideous.

Sims and graphics are two entirely different things. TS3 graphics are 2009, TS4 graphics are 2014. As for sims, that’s personal preference and skills of the player (and taking an effort).

I gave it a 5/10 simply because I've been playing the sims for over a decade, and have all four of the games and this one to me is a bit underwhelming, especially since it's the fourth version of the game and I feel like the game play in previous versions of the game is equal if not better than the game play in TS4. Yes there are patches and game updates that give us things that we should've gotten 4 years ago, but that doesn't cover up the fact that we waited 3 years for toddlers, and are still waiting for other items, careers, and general game play interactions that we should've gotten in the base game. All I can say is that if EA and Maxis plan on releasing the sims 5 in the future, they better have the base game completed before they release it with no pools, toddlers, and items with little to no swatches. At this point within the sims franchise we expect those things to be included when the game is released, not that we should have to wait years or months before we get them.

I gave it a six because of how long it has taken to be playable, and the fact that at this point it still needs more features and corrections. This game has evolved into something I can finally spend longer than an hour on though so that's a plus, which is why I rated it just above average. The Sims 2 i've played the plum out of and the sims 3, while also a great game, isn't as encouraging to play when the initial load up time changes my mind about firing it up.

When I think about which version I want to load up and play, these days it's usually the sims 4.

Yes I'm wrong between graphics & Sims. But in TS3 they were awfull.

I love them ;)
