Even if an franchise is popular and one of the versions is just average as Sims 4 is, I will give credit or discredit when it deserves it and if it means the end of an franchise then so be it. Sim City 2013 deserved to fail because it was not what it was hyped to be. Sims 4 still lack the necessary features for me and I am not talking open world. I am talking about freedom to create my neighborhoods the way I want them to be, the ability to alter my lot sizes, etc and being Sims 4 can't have any of it. Sims 4 is average to me even if EA/Maxis makes a good pack, the pack is gimped like CL.
SimCity2013 diserved to fail because it had an horrible and bad design and is just one of many games that prooves that:
online multiplayer+Maxis = failure
Darkspore,SimsOnline,SimsSocial,etc, you name it, all failures,
Honestly i still stick with the theory that thesims4 was meant to be an online game before the SimCity2013 fiasco nearly ran the studio to the ground then they remade it trying to apease the community in all cost at the start of thesims4 development but the basegame still had many many limitations in a similar fashion to the limitations SimCity2013 and ThesimsMedieval had, that would explain the lack of toddlers at start (Because each sim would be a player and that could generate controversy) the reason why the teens,adults and elders look alike so much (Because there were only adults and childrem like in TSM) and why the town is shaped the way it is and you cant edit it (Because it was meant as a common area so you could not edit it ) Naturally EA can't admit beign wrong so they instead made another cellphone thesims wich is probably what thesims4 was meant to be.
I still like thesims4 and wish for it to improove, i still think it is more fun than thesims3 but i know it could be better if maxis and EA had better point of views about things.
I agree with online feature and what is so ironic I brought the book with the game and the game was not behaving on most of the points the books was saying. No matter how I tried to balance my cities it would not work. Sims 4 is improving but it will never have features that would not have me waiting for EA/Maxis to give me such as the creation of lots or even my own neighborhoods and I look at that as disappointing. It would not have been disappointing if it was never introduced. also another thing to point out as these packs are introduced some folks are going to have to upgrade and for some lag is just waiting to pounce luckily not for me.
