I would of loved if Sims 4 was a life simulator. Sims 4 is closer to an app like Tribes more than a Sims game.
I went back to Sims 2. I fell in love again and the scary thing is I am playing with no mods or cc.
Things I forgot about in Sims 2:
They take out cooking utensils and pots out drawers and cupboards.
When you tell them to do something, sometimes they seemed to look at you with a face that says do I really have too or are you kidding me?
They talk without prompting when eating or watching tv.
If you tell them to make the bed for awhile or clean the dishes they will start doing it by themselves.
They actually react to things that happen to them and let you know what they are feeling!
The interactions with babies, toddlers, and children..(baby-bathe and if you read parent book they can see what the baby needs and tuck in...toddler peek a boo, nursery rhyme, bathe, talk.. child- runs out to greet parent when they come home, parent snuggles child, play games such toss football, play catch, and swing around to name a few)
Cars! With all the cute animations, like the beat up car that needs the door slammed a few times to stay shut, car alarm, getting in car and actually driving out of the drive way..makes me forget it just for a few seconds and cars disappears!
They remember for longer.
I forgot I had a family where the husband cheated and his wife was super mad at the husband. A year later I make a single adult with a dog and move them in the same apartment complex (Actual apartments with landlords!). My new Sim is greeted by wife and immediately after husband walks out and instant fight!!!!
The little things that makes it a life stimulator.
Though I still hate the hobby people that just waltz in your Sims home and interrupts what they are doing to tell them they achieved this or that..would get a mod to stop that but haven't found one (Yes locked doors do not stop these stalkers).
And the omg it is raining or snowing..
Instead I bought a game that plays more like Tribes than Sims and what I did that was even worse was believe it would get better and become more a Sims game in time... I was wrong!
