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.
