Done

In my country the expansions have always been 40eur, game packs 20eur and stuff packs 10eur on release day or preorder...

The game has its flaws and limits, but with mods and CC, it is a good game. It's fun for me, and used as a character creator/sketchpad. Do I agree with the childish direction the game has gone? Heck no. I won't be buying the Star Wars pack, either.

Thats the problem. We shouldn’t have to use mods or cc to make the game fun & fix the lack of gameplay depth when we’re spending over $700 on the sims 4. That’s EA job not the mod community.

It's hard to walk away. Especially after having invested so much in the game. Time and money. Do you play any of the other versions?

@simgirl1010 I think I'm going back to 3 until 5 comes out. I'm not diving in on 5 though, I'm going to wait a good 6 months after 5's release to see what kind of reception it gets. If it looks like they are keeping this "mini full price expansion" crap mindset ... then I'm not touching 5 with a ten foot pole. Oh and if it's an "online experience" you can count me out as well. I'll just stick with 3 tyvm.

This video for me sums it up nicely. This guy isn’t a game changer so unlike 99% of the game changers he will not try and defend this in any way with excuses like “EA are a business and are going to make money!” (No kidding Sherlock!?‍♀️)

When EA got it's dirty hands on Maxis I hoped against hope that somehow Maxis would retain it's integrity. I just did a little math, and do you want to know how much the FULL Sims 4 experience costs? At release prices it'd be over 700 dollars. Now ask yourself... if you think SIms 4 is cool and fun, do you think it's $700 cool? This whole concept of selling everything piecemeal is getting a bit out of control don't you think? Now they drop a star wars pack that their own research told them noone wanted? Yeah, I'm done.

For me, no as you compare what was offered that was in each version up till now you had the ability to unlimited World building and it was limited in Sims 2 but you still had access, in Sims 4 it does not exist. In Sims 3 had the ability to customize or add lots to each world, in Sims 4 you do not. In Sims 3 you can customize colors outside of the primary and secondary colors to whatever look you want, not in Sims 4. In Sims 3 whatever feature that was available in each for the most part can be added to each world, In Sims 4 some features you can't and it is limited to that pack like Apts which is restricted to el and CL and no apts in other neighborhoods and no building apts from scratch and they are more features limited each pack. I can go on so I will stop there, no Sims 4 will never be worth $700 or more.

I bought almost all of my packs during 50% sales, so i didn't spend that much, and i am happy with that decision. Sometimes i buy a pack that turns out not to be worth it anyway even on sale. Ok, that only happened like twice or so, so let me try not to be dramatic, but i am still bummed out because the reason that pack (get together) was a waste of money is because of bugs that ruined the main reason i got it!! I still have that bug with clubs which you hepled checking in your game, thank you by the way for trying to help! I am glad it doesnt happen in your saves but i can understand why you might feel done after spending so much money. I still plan on giving them other chances and buy more packs if i feel inetersted but i really hope they dont let me down again. I just want the things i buy to work.

Lol, I got a good laugh out of that. ?

Well I'm glad you're not totally done with the Sims. ?

For me I can walk away from Sims 4 as it is not the only game I play and it is only an game I felt invested in Sims 2 and 3 as I got my money worth.

Tropico 6 is almost as buggy as Sims 4 *shudder* I love Obsidion though and Outer worlds does look like fun. Almost like a Fallout New Vegas in space :)
