do the gurus actually look at this forum?

You are a paying customer - you are not being given a free game - and paying customers of any product have a right to want what they have paid for and expect long standing quality they have come to expect. If it was a free game that would be one thing - it is a whole different thing when it is not. Customers have every right to demand quality - especially when they have been buying that product for 19 years.

oh you're definitely right. just some people's ideas of demanding quality is by throwing a tantrum and being snide with people who like what they've gotten. I really hope to see TS4 get the long desired tweaks and updates that the community wants for it. I love the game but it's not without its issues and I'd love to see Maxis go buckwild in bettering the game, especially for people who currently don't see the appeal of it when compared to TS2/TS3. EA really loves to keep every franchise under their thumb on a painfully short leash and it's really suffocating in particular for the sims imo. I actually started playing TS2 a bit again and it definitely has me wishing wants/fears would make a comeback! the whims as they are are kind of hard to keep track of for me.
