Looking Forward To the End Of TS4
Let's look at a few reasons why. Unlike TS2 or TS3, TS4 has been built on such a small scale, with limited gameplay, I will be happy the day it has ended and TS5 possibly revealed. Or maybe I won't...

I have to admit I'm longing for Sims 4 to come to an end and hoping for an announcement of a better game in its place - one that puts back whatever is missing from Sims 3. There is so much missing! So many little details that immersed the player are no longer there. I'm not going to write what is missing - life is too short to create such a long list!
I'm hoping that a new game will be built on an engine which allows the same freedom that players of Sims 3 enjoyed - creating their own environments and worlds; adding and placing lots in different places; build and buy items that can be matched up, at least with a colour wheel if not CasT; cars; having a reason to drive to town or into the country; watching children sims walk into school, waiting for a sim outside their workplace; chatting with sims outside the bookstore. One thing I really, really miss is the opportunity to create visitors lots where the player could place varying items that npc's would all use. This allowed so much freedom for each and every player to create an environment suited to their own taste.
Something I really liked about Sims 3 was that the town felt like coming home. The npc's were regular, you knew them all and you knew their personalities. In Sims 4, the player doesn't know anyone. They are all different, random people. Sims 3 was like living in a small town where people know each other. Sims 4 is like living in a city where no-one knows anyone else and you're on your own. There is no familiarity at all.
I live in hope. I don't want to see another expansion in this game. I want to see a new game; I really, really do - even if it means going back to a base game because a base game that is built correctly, allowing players more freedom from the outset would be far more valuable. If a game is going to be good, it needs a solid foundation which will allow for expansion. Sims 4 feels like it was build on sand.
These are just my thoughts and my own feelings about the game and I apologise if they don't match certain other players' feelings about the game.
