It sometimes feels so isolating on this site to love this game but I love it. Compared to other iterations, I've felt like with this one, I can create the stories I want best and it's one of my biggest creative outlets. These forums sometimes get me down though because it feels like I'm being made out to be a shill for EA if I don't see an issue with something or I enjoy a particular feature or pack others don't like or I must only enjoy the game because I must be a new player who hasn't played other Sims games

Yeah, that's essentially how these forums work. If you say you like anything about the game, you're a shill. If you say you hate anything about the game, you're a whiner. There are no inbetweens.Don't let it get you down, though. There's a nice community underneath all that drama ;)

I hate what EA have done; hiding so much content behind a hundred game packs/stuff packs and expansion packs. BUT having built up a relatively sizeable collection I do really enjoy the game, as well. It's really gorgeous, and the build mode is just brilliant. Honestly, you're never going to compete with nostalgia, and this game has been going on for so long that a lot of the people who are playing have grown up with it. But I don't think Sims 4 deserves all the hate it gets, they just shouldn't be charging so much for it.

You're are not alone. I love this game as well. I play it every night for hours. It did have a bad start for me with the lack of toddlers at release and a few other things but I really do feel like they've made lots of improvements and I'm enjoying it a lot.

Maybe it's just me, but whenever I see someone say ‘good for you,’ I almost always interpret it as sarcasm.

I enjoy it immensely. It actually has tied with Sims 2 as my favorite...and I've played them all, except three because yuck.

Yeah, there is a lot of gatekeeping on the forums, where if you enjoy The Sims 4 you are not a Real Simmer (TM). For me, I peruse the place for news, take the forums for what I enjoy, and make liberal use of the ignore function. That being said, the forum is a lot better than it was before the EA professional moderators took over.

I used to get that feeling a lot. I guess I've learned to pay more attention to the positive posts so I don't get pulled down so much anymore. Loving TS4 since I first played it has not been easy!

OP didn't tho. Seems like they're one of those who tend to think the best of others. :)
