If you play mostly the sims4 then it's difficult to not buy the content that we get as there is nothing to compare it to. But after High School Years I started playing all sorts of different games, when you do that you kinda get less enthusiasm for the packs that are released now because I compare them to to other games being released. The illusion is kinda broken, all sims look alike, I'm having difficulty to understand what is fun in these new packs.
The game is very reliant on the player creating things but that only goes so far, it's the developers that have to add and expand upon the new features being added but and I think they try but unfortunately for many packs features end up just just getting added...for the sake of being added. Here is a High School, but it's more or less the same as an active career from Get to Work so there is not much to do in it. Here is a horse, but the horse competitions are just rabbit holes.
They try to add innovation on top of it but because of the game's limitations or budget reasons it sometimes doesn't work very well. For rent is just another example of that, I'm sure that they tried to make multiple apartments work on the same lot, but the game wasn't designed for it. So this is what we are getting. Here are multiple apartments on the same lot, but there are loading screens to visit them so its more or less an upgrade from City Living.
And that's the issue, we are gonna get more packs for the sims4, but there will always be a "but" included with them. And those are gonna stack up and make The Sims4 feel less appealing to spend your free time with and make other games feel more appealing to spend your free time with.
