Let's talk about the flawed emotion system

yeah, the Devs spent way too much time on the ''emotion'' thing and not enough time working on the actual Sims game, like not adding a toddler stage and still waiting for toddlers- so it's about emotions and quite frankly when I read about this before the base came out, I was very put off about it and thought it''ll be a failure and I'm right! The emotions have put me off playing a Sim game, I know it's nowhere near like TS2 and TS3 but the ''emotions'' have ruined my gameplay for me. That is why I've gone back to TS2!
