I'm guessing GTA has cars because it's about cars?? There's a lot Sims has that GTA or Fallout don't. But fundamentally, they're different creatures. And all of them are more than a laundry list of objects.

Sims is about simulating life. Cars in most countries are part of daily life. So I don't really follow this argument.

(I do think holding hands is really hard to do in this game by the way, but it would be awesome)

I agree the sims should have cars but I believe what @luthienrising is trying to say is you can't compare the way other games are programed to the sims 4. They are all programed differently and each have a different type of game play. This includes Planet Coaster. Planet Coaster has some very high specs and is playing plum on the highest end computers. Imagine EA created such a game that the highest end computers could not handle it. I suspect steam is issuing a lot of refunds for Planet Coaster. Computers need to be affordable and be able to handle the games they are running. IMO EA should have stuck to the sims 3 engine and we probably would have gotten more game play out of the sims 4.

PC runs just fine on my computer, and although it's a very solid gaming computer, it's not the newest of the newest. Also, the patches they release are truly focused on fixing what doesn't work and adding what people want (already so shortly after release) that I'm sure they'll iron out a lot of issues as time goes on. And, actually, most people in the PC communities also have faith in these devs & believe they want to make this playable to anyone owning a gaming computer. What bugs me is that people think their games should run on low-end laptops (not saying you said that though :) ). It's never been like that. Games are for gaming PC's, if you don't own one, then don't expect to run most games. Even TS4, since CL, doesn't run too well on my laptop anymore (but I have almost no issues on my gaming computer). It's just not possible to make a really, really good game with lots of options & features, a decent amount of simulation, and excellent specs available to just about anyone and any device. And I sincerely hope they'll remember this when they make TS5. And everyone who asks for a refund because a pc game doesn't run on their laptop without solid graphics card, should get their refund & realize that sometimes, you need to spend a little more for quality - especially in the realm of technology. Anyway, just my opinion ...

I don't play Planet Coaster but @chesterbigbird does. Chester helps in tech and is a computer build expert. She has a GTX 1080, i7 skylake and 16 gb ram. I was just reporting on the other page what she had posted and is experiencing with the game. She did tell me the patches have been making the game better however she still has to disable certain things at the moment and when the worlds are larger she claims the game becomes unplayable. Hopefully they are able to fix these issues or a lot of people playing the game will be left in the dust.

Being that Planet Coaster does require a better gaming computer many may not be able to play it. Those are the highest specs I have currently seen in a game. Most people can't afford top of the line computers to run a game like this although computers have come down in price since 2009 when the sims 3 came out. They were making TS4 while still making TS3. EA may not have seen the future in gaming hardware and the fact that it would advance so much since then. If there is a TS5 one can hope the game will advance while still being able to be played on a gaming computer most can afford.
