The second time around I was learning little tricks like not allowing a radio in the same room as a sleeping Sim, how to click on the bookcase to learn how to cook. "We notice your Sim is eating nothing but beans...try clicking on the bookcase to learn how to cook on the stove"
Hmm...yeah this game is definitely worth exploring if I'm missing stuff like that....
Once you know everything...yep..you are going to have to find new ways of exploring without making it inaccessible for anyone trying to play the game the way it was intended.
No cheats, no spoilers.
The developers never lost sight of that, much to the chagrin of people who know everything there is to know about this game and find themselves bored.
This is a perfect example of what the game is missing that it used to have (although I think you were trying to make an entirely different point). Sims used to be unable to sleep if there was a radio on in the bedroom. That’s something intuitive. It didn’t take much of a learning process to come to this conclusion. If anything, there was surprise that the game was that deep. “Oh, right, the radio is making too much noise. This game is so realistic.”
But it’s not the case in TS4. The radio makes no difference to their sleep.
I think you’re saying we’ve already mastered the game and there are no surprises left. But the game did get easier in many ways like this, and whether we learned how to play before or not, the dynamics have changed.
