Looking Forward To the End Of TS4

I can honestly say I'm not really looking forward to the end of TS4 and I pray they don't make a TS5. The only posts I ever see in the Sims community these days are along the lines of "I want...." "I want..." "What EA should have done..."
There could be thousands of reasons why this that and the other didn't make it to the final product. Given that the game was developed from the base of an abandoned project, I should think time was a big factor. I can almost envision the angry simmers "Where's TS4? You promised us TS4 last year. WHY ISN'T IT HERE?" etc. Then the complaints would roll in about it not being enough, even if swimming, toddlers and ghosts had made it from the beginning. This happens in other gaming communities but I have noticed that the last couple of years have got worse with simmers screaming about what they want.

I wonder how many simmers say 'Thanks' when a Guru answers a question on Twitter? Not many, I'll bet. Given the lack of "thank you"s when somebody shares some CC, I can see that manners aren't a priority any more. Shouting like spoilt toddlers about what they want is in, apparently.

Sorry but if TS4 hasn't panned out the way you want, why do so many keep buying it? I realise this is an unpopular opinion but I'm entitled to my opinion on this one too. At the end of the day, loads of you hate TS4 with an apparent passion since you can't seem to find any redeeming qualities. So how come so many of you who seem to despise it keep buying the packs? Nobody's forcing you to do it and if you're really that passionate about it, doesn't that send a more direct message to EA as a company if you withhold the money, rather than slagging them off on the forums for a game you didn't like in the first place?

I get that people were disappointed when the base game came out. If the quality of packs hasn't, in your opinions, improved, why still buy and then complain about it? How about you just don't buy it and go back to Sims 3.

On a side note, it's funny how many people now consider Sims 3 an amazing, full and complete game. Not that many years ago, the "I want..." threads were aimed at that. Funny that.

This pack is sold at $40. I want you to think about it. The same cost of the base game. It's mermaids are not that great, not as good as those in the past. It's activities are limited to one world...not as good as any 'EP' sold in the past that came with three worlds, hello, and many, many more objects and activites. It's swimming is limited to one world. Hello, again, that's not expansion material but GP material. It doesn't have diving when hello, past 'EP' had deep diving and no rabbit hole where you sit and wait for Sim to return from off world. It comes with one new full career, hello, the past EPs of this sort of type came with four or five. One aspiration or two? Again past EPs came with four or five. Getting the point, it was all said in the first post I stated the obvious. How about if you love this EP then don't enter threads that say...Looking Forward to TS4's end. I'm comparing content to content and if you do that then you can see this is a rip off and since TS4 is such a small scale, I hope for a bigger and better game, and no more time wasted on ripping off players. And no, I don't have to go play TS3 to know how small TS4 is and why it's a money grab for nothing.
