Honestly, I know a lot of people that are still playing (and prefer) Sims 3 to this day. The modding community really made that game absolutely gorgeous. With Sims 4 - EA was really trying to fix the fact that Sims 3 had a lot more loading times and lagging issues, so they wanted to bring a more advanced experience with it's playability and diversity, and kind of downgrade on things that caused issues (like the open worlds), which was a smart move- even though people like me hated it because my computer is a beast. I transitioned to Sims 4 pretty early because cc creators were coming out with content QUICKLY. Alpha hair was introduced so fast I think I bought the game before DLC came out (but don't quote me on that because I don't remember). Full circle, I think that this game has SO much content that as a game it stands on its own merit. I've paid roughly over 800$ on this game and its DLCs/Packs/Kits and I have no regrets what-so-ever. I know that some people may be concerned that since this is free, it indicates that Sims 5 is about to come out and they want to make a fast and last cash grab before they release the next one, but I don't think that Sims 4 has lost any of it's current value in any way even if Sims 5 comes out. I feel EA has DELIVERED in Sims 4. Some packs took longer than they should have and the order I feel is a little off. But now....as a whole...This game is fire (bugs aside - thanks EA for your constant patches though - even though you break my CC LOL) I've consistently played older games - Mass Effect Series from first to last, Dragon Age from first to last, TES, Fallout (that NV thoughhh). Personally, I think I'll be playing Sims 4 for awhile after Sims 5 until content creators come up with enough content for me to modify my game to my personal preferences. (I currently have 25k+ mods in my game...and yes, you read that correctly). So, idk, even if they don't come out with more content for Sims 4 when 5 comes out....this game as a whole is a really good game. And any game you have already, the developer makes the game, releases dlcs, and then moves on to the next. That's just the way it works. I'm looking forward to the future of Sims and to see where the road takes us. That's my soap box. *exits stage left*
