i'm really sad because the sims has forever been my favorite game , and now it's just meh, it gets boring quickly and there's so much stuff missing in my opinion. Like yeah the graphics are good, but it's been like what? 4 years that it's out and we have 4 expansion packs (don't even get me started on the fact that you have to pay 10$ to have washing machines or BOWLING which were all previously small aspects of a big pack...) I mean look at sims 2 nightlife for example... you got like 112309 new lots to play with , including RESTAURANTS (10$ nowadays for just that), BOWLING and so much more. It's become a massive money making machine and it's a real shame. I mean even the game packs are kind of half assed if you ask me, let me explain; you get dine out , you can have a restaurant and you have 0 new traits and 0 new aspirations, but how cool would it be to have an aspiration to own a successful restaurant , but now if you want to role play as a successful restaurant owner, the aspirations you have don't make sense (yay i want to own a 5 star restaurant and at the same time have the writer aspiration making it so that i gain no points while achieving my real goal -> meh). And this goes for get to work especially , you get 3 new careers and again no new traits or aspirations , where off the top of my head i can make like 3 up which would really work with the expansion pack...And especially aspirations , why is there no '' World Class surgeon'' type aspiration like we had in the sims 3. I really don't understand what they are doing with the game.
