So if you saw Grants latest tweets. How they have more dlc,and did more than sims 3 did. The other tweet well they have 200 people which is twice what sims 3 had? To be fair he was replying other tweets. These tweets do not really help the case at all.Yes you do get more dlc,but still, there is a lot missing content. Why the sims 3 had less content. The expansion packs felt meatier in comparison. We also had the store for certain objects.(Why it was overpriced). So basically you have more DLC,and more of a team . We still feel like we have less content,and the game feels empty. That is not a good sign :/ .

Even TS (2000) when I go back to play it doesn't have much in buy or build mode with all EP's compared to TS2 or TS3, yet is still abundant in gameplay and extremely fun to play. What content that is available is very well thought out and adds to meaningful gameplay. The Sims themselves are also quite charming and likable. So the truth is that more content/objects/DLC/Microtransactions/Macrotransactions does not equal a better or the best game. Especially when the content's quality is severely lacking as well as its usefulness/versatility. Which was said already but I wanted to reiterate it.

DLC, etc can be a good thing but it can also be a very bad thing and depends on the game company and how they utilize to either benefit both themselves and gamers or just themselves. We are in a generation of gaming where many game companies are out to just make money, not make great games, have great customer service and make profit. But of course, not all game companies are bad and anyone can tell them apart if they pay attention to what is going on in the gaming industry altogether. Some value quality, integrity and feedback while others value get rich quick schemes.

As long as consumers accept ill business practices which they continuously support, they get what they deserve and pay for...expensive mediocrity. And thus the cycle repeats while nothing ever changes because some don't see the bigger picture.

I agree with you as I do not not care about the dlc as for me it covers up what is missing in Sims 4 for me. I am an feature person and that what drives me and if both features and dlc is being added together that for me would be great and your comment about the granddaddy of them all The Sims was fun just as it was hard to maintain my sims it was the themes and not the dlc that mattered to me also it was not 3D. Sims 4 is what it is and some like it for what it is but for me it is not bad but it is not all it can be as I see EA/Maxis has no intentional of taking it to the max. All this debate about which version is better will never stop.
