How The Sims Has Changed
When I first saw the adverts for the Sims 1 on the TV I used to think how could such a game be fun. But after a while and seeing so many great reviews I decided to give it a go. I was hooked! And when...

I had Sims1 for some time before actually playing it as I buy my games in bulk and it take time for me to get to it. When I started playing it I was like WOW but I saw some negative in it but I still had an good time with it. The game had no predcessor for me to judge it against, All I remember how hard it was to keep the Sims needs met. Now when Sims 2 rolled out I again had Sims 2 but did not play for for some time but when I did I saw how much fun it was even more than Sims1 that became addicted to it I would stop playing it and some minutes later I would go back in. I created soap operas and all in Sims 2. The only thing I found a little negative about Sims 2 was the twilight zone effect you have an quarter of an block and you had to go through multiple loading screens, however I was still captivated by the game and it's abiltiy to create wonderful stories and characters and really create, build your own House.
Then BAM! here comes Sims 3 in which the Devs really allowed you to build, create Sims but went further by allowing users to customize thier creations and not just with the basic colors, you can almost design your home clothes, houses, etc in any color or design you wamt also they done away with loading screens and allowed the user to create thier own worlds. This came at cost to those with weaker machine as it required an lot of processing power and I was glad I did not suffer that fate. I felt Sims 3 lost an part of the quirks revolving arould the Sims themselve but It still was an accomplishment for me and I feel it was more of an Dev inability to properly tweak its program and apply fixes in an timely manner, also I experienced problems caused by the Dev themselves rather than an spec issue
Then comes along Sims 4 which sadly lost of the features that existed in Sims 2 and 3 and had controversy surrounding the nature of the engine that was used. The Dev had supposely used an engine from an failed project instead of building it from scratch. I found the game to be dull and dry and could not play more than 30 minutes. The colors were Bleh and the furniture blocky, the lots are static and now I must wait for EA/Maxis to give me one. Sims 4 for me is not an stellar product and in my eyes will never be. The packs are gimped for performance reasons and controversy will always surround Sims 4 and for me my memories will be always how Sims 4 had so much controversy. There are an few times when I thought Sims 4 was pulling ahead only to let down later like with CL, I was initally pumped to hear we will have apts in CL and than get let down because I will not be able to make my own apts from scratch and also no apts outside of CL what an bummer and that is only one of the let downs. Sims 2 and then Sims 3 will always be on the top of list. :)
