Honest opinions about Sims 4.
What do honestly think? Is it a good game? Does it get better with each new ep and packs what don't you like about it? I'm really toying with the idea of getting it but want some feedback first Than...

When I first got the game, I really enjoyed CAS, multi-tasking, the graphics, faster loading times and etc but missed the charm and details of Sims 2 and the open world/color options of Sims 3 (but not the lag).
With all of the free updates and DLC so far I say it's very worth it! In my opinion, Seasons, Cats & Dogs, and Get Together (club system) really livened up the game a lot. City Living added cultural diversity and a new way to play with apartments/rent. Get to Work has its charms, though it's not my favorite. The retail system is interesting but flawed. I haven't played much of Get Famous yet but it seems to be another one that livens the game a bit, especially if you want to explore the acting career.
As far as gamepacks, they all have been worth it in my opinion--particularly Vampires, Parenthood (adds a lot to the game) and Jungle Adventure (with the new self employed career you can literally be a treasure hunter/archaeologist like Lara Croft haha). Stuff packs are a bit more hit and miss, but they have gotten better with each rendition for the most part. My favorites of those would be Laundry Day (the items/CAS), Movie Hangout, Backyard Stuff, and Kids/Toddler packs if you like families.
The new first person mode--if you can handle the view without getting sick--is a refreshing take on the world and allows you to see your sims and worlds in a new perspective. It's especially great if you've built/decorated your house from scratch!
I hope that this helps. There are a lot of items/ideas from The Sims 3 that I miss, but I think they'll be implemented in The Sims 4. I do like that this time around The Sims 4 is alternating between "classics" like Pets, Seasons etc with a fun twist and introducing completely new concepts. It's great and all to one day get University and occult sims back, but having new ideas is unpredictable and exciting!
Happy Simming! :mrgreen: :heart:
