Thanks for the links to info about the s.e.e.d system. I will read those laters, but just off the top of my head, how would a game work and look if it's meant to be played over all systems?
TS4 seems to me it was first designed to be played on a tiny screens. Just by the art style they picked it makes me think yeah, it would look good on a tiny screen that doesn't have enough pixels or power to show detail, so flat paint is o.k. (no textures).
I don't think I would buy into a TS5 that could be played across all platforms, it would be pretty much watered down game if it works that way. Let's hope they also don't think it would be a good idea for a player to log in have their Sim skill or whatever on the player phone, (limited gameplay) then sync that to pc game and update the Sim that way. No thanks, glad they haven't added that feature to TS4, yet, though it was in the description leaks of this game before it was released.
No one has to be ashamed they bought TS4 or played it. I'm it's biggest critic sometimes, not all the time, and I played it for three years. But at some point I gave up on it producing worth while content that would expand the game and the bugs and Origin was too much trouble.
But I think I should pat myself on the back (or maybe I was just naive and silly for wasting money) for lasting as long as I did, when moodlet/buff system is not my idea of The Sims, nor having to beg on hands and knees for a staple like toddlers, or starting the game over and over or repair game so much the server should have just done it for me when I loaded the game, lol, because I was going to have to repair game at some point within a two hour play session. I won't mention the socially forced idea, that dog houses for working dogs is wrong, so no there wouldn't be any. It shouldn't have mattered what gurus thought but what players wanted. It was almost like since someone had never owned a cattle dog, they didn't know it would be a good idea to have a dog house out there in the fields so the working dog could get out of the sun. Take a break, rest, until the cattle go back to a barn. But because of some socially acceptable idea of dog houses are bad they would not be considered. I guess it's better to see all those strays in game and no where to rest. I might have argued which was cruler, if we had known there would be that many strays.
Not saying TS4 hasn't had some good packs, it does, but with each patch they either change the reasons the person bought the pack, or they add something that changes the game entirely of why we bought it. Or they decide any cheats a player might want to use should not be available so they can't skip the forced gameplay in some areas. Or they decide content some players would rather just skip has to be patched in anyway, regardless of the bugs it may cause later. Why give them the headache?
Then instead of two EPs this year (maybe?) or two GPs this year (maybe?) players wait for another three.
@ehaught58 , I have to agree with you, builders drew the short straw and have no attention paid to that area of this game at all, and nothing to cheer about at all.
