Is Sims 4 Worth Buying on Sale?
I love the Sims 3 honestly, however now that Sims 4 is on sale (and I probably wouldn't buy without the sale otherwise) I'm thinking about buying Sims 4 since it is pretty cheap right now. However, th...

There are definitely some people around who play both games, but that being said, I'm not one of them. I bought 4 when it first came out, and before I heard anything about the free trial, and I really wish I hadn't bothered. I don't think I played more than a couple weeks, and in brief sessions (because I was either bored or annoyed), and after a couple months I deleted the game and haven't even thought about going back to it. I've always loved the sims games, and while I was not liking much I was seeing/hearing about 4 ahead of time, I figured I was being a stick in the mud and I'd like it just like all the rest if I gave it a chance. But, I didn't, not at all.
Some not-too-organized pros and cons from my point of view: I loathe closed world and all the little loading screens that break up immersion. Also don't like the tiny worlds. I really missed being able to recolor things. The CAS *is* nice, but once I got those sims in game, I found I didn't care about them at all. The emotions thing was bizarre, as were the various walk styles and their Joker smiles (I've been told they've tamed the smiles down). I wasn't crazy about the change in game controls or the build mode either (although it added some neat stuff), but I would have probably adjusted to those things if I stuck to the game longer. The other thing I really didn't like was all the extra little things sims needed to do outside of work or school - to me, all that was just drudgery. Oh, and party goals - not at all what I was looking for . . . On the plus side, a lot of little things were nice: the cooking and recipes, the gardening, lots of nice decorator stuff to use.
Keep in mind I only played the base game, so it might be more interesting by now, but I think my personal problems with it would still be the same.
