Let's have some positivity!
I've been observing the forums for the past few days and I am seeing only hate and disappointment and bitterness surrounding most of the threads, and in turn it's making me feel very bitter and misera...

Where do I start...
Ah yes, build mode.
- I love the way build mode not only keeps surprising me with the things I can build, but how it's being continually improved with time
- the ability to save rooms for use in other builds and also share them with others
- no auto-roof. While it's sometimes a struggle to figure out roofing, it's better than leaving it to the code.
The worlds are so beautiful in the game. I don't know if I'll ever get to the point of having explored every nook and cranny of the worlds we have because no matter how much I play, there are always little spots that I discover or see in someone else's video or screenshot that I haven't seen before. With the addition of Seasons, it's all the more fun to see them in different weather conditions.
The Sims themselves. When I first started playing, I thought I'd find it easy to keep aging on and just go through legacies and generations, but I've found myself attached to the Sims so much that even aging them up is hard.
Especially the toddler stage. Those are immeasurably fun to play and so adorable that it's hard to let go. I love how the longer you play a Sim, the more they veer toward things that match their traits (active Sims love their gym equipment, outdoorsy Sims keep heading to the garden, etc). I love seeing the genetics in families and how the features transfer to children.
The graphics. I play on an older Macbook so I kept my graphics low for the longest time. Only recently have I decided to go medium, trying to see if the Mac could manage it. Sure, it heats up but there's no lag and the reflections, the lighting, the detail on things like floor and wall tiles and wood, the shadowing and different ways lights work are just amazing. (and make me want to invest into a computer that can handle the higher settings so I can fully enjoy those details. Then again, I might just end up staring at those instead of building lol)
Thank you for this thread, OP.
