How would you rate the sims4 after 5+ years. Would you recommend it to new players?

Except there are no numbers in your poll. It is hard to rate that way. Sorry.

I think it is a enjoyable game. In it's current state it has enough to offer (it was too incomplete at launch) and with so many packs everyone should be able to find a few the like to add more content to the game.

I think it is fun to play with or without mods and cc. I don't think they are crucial in deciding whether I like this game or not.

There are some points where the game needs improvement like more focus on family instead of the constant focus on young adults, babies as persons not furniture, better personalities. But that doesn't stop me from playing and having fun with it.

I think the game has it's flaws but is good enough to enjoy without mods/cc

I think the poll is weighed heavily towards not liking the game. So yeah, your results will be very skewed.

For me: I enjoy it and play without mods and CC. I don't feel like I'm lacking gameplay or items so much that I wouldn't be able to enjoy what's already there.

There are things I hope will still be added and improved on, some that get frequently mentioned and others that are my personal ones. There are bugs that I hope to see fixed, if at all possible.

That said, rebrand or not, if I knew someone who is into this kind of a game, I'd absolutely recommend it. (no point trying with those who don't enjoy simulation games)

I'm someone with imagination and I treat it mostly like a dollhouse. Although I wouldn't play without CC.

I would recommend it, but I disagree with the comments above when it comes to mods and CC. Mods and CC are what really make the game enjoyable to me and keep me coming back to play it.

It's definitely a fun game. However, without mods/cc/dlc, it gets boring relatively quickly and you get caught in a cycle of making the same boring old sims with the same boring old story. To me, the game gets repetitive very fast if you're not willing to spend a fortune on the packs or download mods/cc. There's only so much you can do in the base game.

As much as a lot of people don't like TS4 I enjoy it, with a game like the sims there's always gonna be a "this edition has this and this edition doesnt!". I prefer to just see it as it's own thing, there's some features I enjoy about older games and there's other features I enjoy about this game.

It was terrible at launch I'll be honest but now I think it's a pretty good game and I get a lot of play out of it (a lot more than any other video games franchise), sure it's expensive but aren't most gaming things nowadays?
Other games nowadays require pricey gaming PCs or pricey consoles, monthly subscriptions to play online and cost $60+ and then they get boring after a few weeks. The Sims I can play every day for months and still enjoy it.

I have my criticisms with some parts of the game, but I have criticisms with every game in the franchise. It's a good game and I think people should give the devs a break sometimes as they are trying to make it the best game possible, but they've got restrictions and deadlines that they have to stick to as the higher ups care more about quantity than quality :|

I agree with Duvelina, I’m exactly the same with it. I also wouldn’t enjoy it much without mods and CC, but that was true for all Sims games 1-4 (I actually had more for 2 & 3).

Even though I play with cc and a few mods I chose this because long before I ever knew what cc was i was enjoying my game. Once I discovered it I got addicted to the endless options in fashion lol.
But yeah I would recommend it to anyone into these type of games. My sister plays on console mod and cc free and she loves it to death. She's always sending me pictures and it's the only game she plays.

And also all I play. I love it despite it's flaws as I surely don't know of anything in life that's flawless.?

Everytime there is a new pack, I can only play for few hours in a day and already know all of the contents within, now that I think about it with every pack bought without discount the total price adds up to close to a price of a motorcycle.
