@Tremayne4260 The Sims Medieval and the World Adventures weren’t sandbox games and they were some of the most popular games and EPs! I will admit that for simmers who mainly just want to build and watch their sims act on their own a sandbox game would be ideal though. But I am not at all that kind of simmer and I don’t believe that the majority of simmers are either!
The reason why I stopped playing TS4 was very different because I like challenges and I would have stopped playing the Sims Freeplay years ago if that game had been just a sandbox game without challenges too. So why did I stop playing TS4?
The reasons were other things:
1. TS4 was too slow for me. Things took too long time and I hated the waiting times which mainly were caused by the autonomy and the multitasking. But also the 14 days waiting time until my sim had a change to be promoted again and that my sim had to just wait for hours or even days in another neighborhood before some collectible could be ready to be picked up.
2. I am not a builder and I didn’t care about building or decorating.
3. I am mainly a simmer who like to control my sims completely. So it annoyed me when they waisted huge amounts of time doing things that I didn’t want them to do at all.
4. I hated the extreme focus on eternal happiness which for me just was annoying. I wanted challenges and consequences of my sims’ actions instead.
So no! I don’t want a complete sandbox game at all! I just want a challenging game where I can control my sims and where every action has consequences instead of a game where I only can watch my sims act on their own and forget insults or infidelity in a split second!
So I hope that EA soon will release another Sims game which is much more a game for me than TS4 which for me is much worse than its predecessors were!
