I refuse to mod my game to make it work. Mods are supposed to add to gameplay, not fix what's broken. I'd rather just stop playing the sims, which is a super easy decision for me. I'll toy around with the base game every once in a while, but I'm not interested in 4 any more. It'd have to take something huge to gain my interest and frankly, I don't think EA has it in them.
I can't begin to imagine how bad it must feel for the devs who worked hard on pushing this game out, despite its sad state. I would be absolutely crushed if everyone took turns ripping into something I put countless hours into. The sims community can be so passive aggressive with each other, and I'm guilty of it too, but it's kind of hard to watch people gang up on employees who can't and do not have the power to make big decisions over a game, let alone talk about it. We're frustrated. They're frustrated. This isn't fun anymore. EA is like a vampire that drains the joy out of gaming.
So, I heard about Colossal Order and Paradox for the first time around the forums and from what little I know so far, their city simulation game and the devs themselves seem pretty amazing and involved. I don't know about y'all, but it's nice to have something to look forward to.
(How long do you think it'll be until Paradox is censored to the word plum? ;) )
