“But it would spoil things very much for me if they made the sims the way they are in, say, Sims 2. I have that game too and I can't play it without getting bored very quickly. I just can't be creative enough with it. The sims fight against me left, right, and centre to do their own thing when I want them to do something else. They have their own personality which makes it so that I can't be creative with them and tell stories in my game play the way I like to, which is really frustrating. If I wanted them to do their own thing I may as well watch a movie because my game play style is to create a story, not to watch them make the story.”
I found that element of free will in Sims 2 a spur to creativity. And you do know you could turn it off, right?
This is not about going back to Sims 2. (For the record, I prefer Sims 3.) This is about a newer version actually being an improvement rather than a regression that caters solely to people who want to build worlds of nothing but pretty people and fashionable clothes.
Some people are happy to just take pictures of their sims and post stories. They use pose player with lots of fake poses and interactions and, as long as they have their pretty pictures, they probably don't even notice that the actual gameplay is lacking.
For me, having played all games since Sims 1, this is the one version i do NOT find lacking. It's perfect for my game play style and storylines. I don't use pose player, have very few mods (and only use ANY mods 50%of the time, no CC ever) and only once in a blue moon take pictures/screencaps if some big event happened in my story. I just play and create stories about Sims kids/toddlers and big families.
That being said, people that do love taking pictures and posing Sims, it doesn't make them less mature or childish either.
