The neutrality is interesting, though. All of these years of pushing Sims 4 and now suddenly they're pushing the series as a whole? It might make sense if we were able to play Sims 1 and 2 without troubleshooting Windows. My first instinct is that it's disingenuous. They also have other ads that advertise living underwater. It's like instead of making these things possible in Sims 4, they're looking at what Sims 3 could do and promoting that but just removing the "4" to insinuate these are things you can play in the current game.
I feel like it's misleading, even though Sims 3 is still available. It could make someone look up The Sims, most likely come across Sims 4 (which is usually pretty inexpensive and at the forefront of their marketing,) then they buy it, thinking these are things they can do in the game, only to find out they can't, that they'd have to go buy the older iteration to get the actual gameplay advertised. And even then, you still can't play the way they insinuate in the ads.
That kind of misdirection is rather shady, EA. Gross.
