Is TS4 still very predictable?
So, I've been into the Sims franchise since it was first released - I mean REALLY into it. However, I haven't played TS4 in years. One of my favorite things about the Sims was that I would often just ...

Some of the spontaneity in past iterations is still missing from Sims4. But with the use of mods a player can tweak the game into one more to their liking. Up to the release of Island Living I had managed to play a lightly modded game and be happy with it. That EP totally decimated my game, and it required months of work on my part to put it all back together into something I actually liked to play. The one plus with Sims4 is it can easily be modded. I ended up with just under 100 mods by the time it was all said and done.
There have been many times when I played in offline mode for months simply because updating my mods every few weeks became a chore, especially when I wasn't interested in the content of the newest game update or the newest packs or kits. I have fewer mods these days but the ones I use have created a new game that is immersive and has the spontaneity I desire. Sims4 has a huge modding community that has kept the game from being a total loss and waste of my time, in my opinion. When EA decided to attract a younger fan base, that's when Sims4 became a bit pedestrian, and the unexpected, often amusing, surprises were toned down in order to keep the Teen Rating in place.
Sims4 will never be a Sims2 or 3, but with a bit of research and some grit, any player can add a few mods that might bring the game closer to what they want it to be. I thought it was worth the effort to at least try because I had already spent a lot of money on Sims4, and I wanted a return on my investment. I'm one player that will be very happy when Sims5 is released. Not because I am going to start from scratch for the 5th time, but because I will be able to play Sims4 without needing to update my mods every month. Just thinking about all the time that will save when I would rather be using that time to play, brings a smile to my face. :)
