Yes. It is too childish. It went from being an interesting, creative game to a sort of online Barbie dollhouse.
A question to all you folks who piped up to say you like the childishness, the oh so pitty-pitty Sims, etc...
Would it really spoil things for you if those of us interested in more sophisticated storytelling had it as an option? Does the story really HAVE to be lobotomized for everyone in order for it to be fun for you?
Exactly! Even the S2 had more personality and fun to play. The dollhouse thing is a complete turnoff with me. I play with CC and those items are almost as real as it can get, yet it looks strange being in S4 because of the clunky look. EA has catered to the lower computer, now it is time to up their own game if they expect a good reception to the S5. My interest in Paralives is growing by the day.
That is probably because not everyone has a computer that can play even TS4 well. I remember a poll and quite a lot of Simmers according to that barely could run TS4 even on the lowest settings. Kinda insulting to give the impression that they being considered is a negative thing.
When that results in a poorer quality game then it is absolutely negative. I mean you don’t see any developers making sure their games still run on last gen hardware. No, if people want to play their games they have to shell out the money for the console that will play them. PC is no different and I don’t think catering to that crowd makes much sense. Sims 4 was already built for low end PC’s and laptops. If someone still can’t play it then that’s their problem. Is EA supposed to be making sure Sims 4 runs on my grandparents budget computer from 1998? No of course not. Someone who chooses a cheap PC should not be catered to solely because they chose a cheap PC unfit for what they’re actually trying to use it for. At the end of the day if someone has the money for this game and it’s DLC it’s a lack of restraint that’s prohibiting them from getting a computer that can play the game. My desktop was not cheap, and it took me years to get the money to get it without slapping it on my charge card.
