Do you think The Sims 4 = Failure?
I've seen forum replies (and YouTube comments) where people say these six things about The Sims 4: 1. Rename the game to "The Sims 0.5," "The Sims 1.5," or "The Sims 2.5" 2. Say they were disapp...

I see where you're coming from. But to me, that's the magic of it all. People talk all the time and exercise and I always look to the positive side of thing instead of commenting on what could've happened or what should've been done, so I think "Why would someone want to walk AND talk and hold a baby at the same time- it's dangerous. When people talk to other people and eat, they usually DO eat slower. Sure, it might have been wrong of me to generalise everything, but I do agree (with you, somewhat) in which the mindset of the developers was kind of off. But, still, you have to understand that The Sims 4 wasn't supposed to be a better Sims 3, only a sequel that is/was DIFFERENT, as all the seceding Sims games are somewhat.
