Why have you stopped?
Despite how much I rag on the game, I'm actually preparing for a session of playing it today. The only reason I still play is because the modding community is fantastic and has managed to make the game interesting. If it weren't for them, my story would be similar to everybody else's here.
Have you purchased any expansion, GP, or stuff packs?
Indeed. They got easier to get when I started waiting for sales due to me no longer believing most of the packs were worth their original asking price. I have most of the expansion packs except for University (due to me no longer wishing to support the game) I have most of the game packs except for Dine Out since I heard it was extremely buggy, and I have Laundry Day, Vintage Glamour, Romantic Garden, Movie Hangout, and Perfect Patio.
Do you play other iterations regularly?
For most of the time I've played The Sims 4, (if memory serves, I have over 3000 hours clocked into TS4) I stopped playing my first Sims game which was the third one for a couple years. I went back to it last year and now I'm playing it more often.
Are you interested in a TS5?
I'm curious to see what the game will contain, but I fully expect it to be worse or at the least, not any better than TS4. If I'm wrong, I will gladly take that L, but I don't think it'll be a good game if (IF) it's true that the game will have multiplayer (especially if it's invasive) and if EA uses the same model they used for TS4, a model that clearly has worked for them. Which is creating half-baked packs too concerned on whether or not they'll offend someone that'll make players hope and wish that the next pack will be better. It won't be, so players will hope for a pack that'll fix what the game lacks. Sound familiar? I don't have any sort of faith in the developers and I expect to jump ship by the time the fifth game rolls around.
