Pardon the weird title; I wasn’t sure how best to phrase it. I figured with all the talk about the new pack and what we come to expect out of this game, it would be a good time to ask about people’s expectations and what they feel about The Sims (4 or otherwise). But this is kind of a multiple question discussion so it’s too complex for a simple poll.
1. What kind of session do you feel like this game should have? Should it be a “1-2 hour burst” kinda game, a “long 4+ hour” session type, or the “pick it up, put it down” type?
I tend to play in bursts because there is so much to do it becomes overwhelming! Rather than play for 10hr straight I prefer to play little by little all throughout the day.
2. How do you use your content? Do you try to use every system from every pack all at once? Do you prefer to have individually tailored experiences/stories?
I tailor my own individual stories and I never use all the content at once. Till this day I still have not explored the jungles, played most of the active careers and many other things because I feel there is so much to do I just haven't gotten around to it.
3. Do you think it’s better to own ALL of the packs or just the ones that appeal to you? This one is big, because I feel like it’s what generates some of the more controversial opinions about the packs we get.
Owning all the packs is a big plus!!! Because even if it's a pack I'm not that interested in there is always something from that pack I can use! Bits and pieces of everything!
4. What kind of duration of play do you expect out of a The Sims game? Should it be a game you can play “forever”? Or do you only expect maybe a good 40-100 hours of play per pack you have installed?
That's what I love about the sims and why I don't mind spending endless money on it because the game to me is endless. Something you play forever as you keep coming up with new storylines and ways to play. I have not played playstation in atleast 4 years?because this is the only "endless" game for me. Never get bored of it. Though I do take breaks (because everybody needs some) I eventually go back to it and the possibilities keep rolling in.
