Positive thoughts on The Sims 4

My opinion with the positive thoughts: i love how they keeps adding stuff in basegame with more possibilities🥰🥰👍

I began playing the Sims with Sims2.  I really, really, really enjoyed that iteration.  Based on what my grown daughter (who introduced me to this silly game in the first place) said about how Sims2 was an enormous leap forward over The Sims, where she started.  So, I decided to give Sims3 a try. I ended up having a love/hate relationship with that iteration.  I even played on a modest gaming rig (which could probably have used more RAM and speed, looking back on things). At any rate, I held back from Sims4, as it was reported to be an online, multiple player game. I'm all kinds of selfish when it comes to my Sims. I don't like others changing things on me, and I had some bad experiences with WoW.  Nothing like having your little Gnome getting slain for offering a buff to a stranger . . . 

At any rate, once I learned there had been a change in status for Sims4, making it once again a single player game (Yahoo!) I pre-ordered it right off. I did have a codicil, however.  One of the things I disliked about the Sims themselves in 3 was their wooden behavior and their complete lack of spontaneous engagement with each other. They weren't making me laugh.

I said, if these Sims weren't closer to the Sims in 2, then I wouldn't buy another thing for this game. While their sense of humor isn't quite the same as those in 2, I liked that these Sims would do spontaneous things and in their own right were silly enough to suit my taste. Lately, we've had many things added to the layers of Sims4. I'm, so far, liking what I see. I only purchase the packs I want, though I have plenty of room on my new gaming rig. (I think it started off with a gigabyte?)  With the advent of Get Famous, I really got into playing this game, especially when I learned the Road to Fame mod, made provisions for a Professional Singing Career. I am over the moon.

Well, my thoughts on the basegame is that everything else is built on top of it. Thus it is pretty darn important. I'm thankful for it and I guess all the content and custom content creators are as well. This game in itself has created numerous communities and is an outlet for all kinds of creativity including storytelling, script learning, fashion and general complaining. The Sims 4 is a super duper product.

I really enjoy exploring other people's creativity channeled through The Sims 4 - furniture, fashion, functions. It is a privilige to use their wonderful creations that are free of charge, and it is possible just through the basegame.

The base game is old and causing many issues(bugs) with new updates. Nothing positive about that.

On the positive side..

I would like EA to create a new game with an updated engine that can run on PC's for the next 5-10+ years.

Edit: The only good thing about this 10+ year old buggy base is that most of use can still play through the bugs.

building houses is very difficult to me but that's all on me (i wish it had The Sims 2 style or atleast so we can find things easier)

but what i do like about the basegame building is a lot more possibilities even without the packs

i know we have the greenhouse heaven kit but since recently we can build the greenhouse very similair to The Sims 2 that came with Seasons😍😍 (except this time it's in basegame in The Sims 4)

i would love to add colours which is barely there in basegame to have them in the basegame (we barely have the yellow, purple and orange ones for sure)

i love we have more options in build mode😍😍

I love the Sims 4 despite many bugs.  I've not given up on it as many players seem to be doing. 

My favorite thing about sims 4 in general is the gallery. I did not have that in the 10 years I played sims 2 and it helps so much since I am bad at building and making sim faces.

Love this game, been around since the early days of TS1, and can't believe I wasted this many years of my life on one (or actually 4) computer game :)

The Sims always triggered creativity, and I believe most persons need a way to release the creative talents that we all have, being something we give priority or just a minor thing in our life. I often play my game on a sort of community level which involves a lot of planning and traditions/rules, but it also includes tons of silly stuff, different family structures and stories, and I'm pretty sure my life would have felt a tad smaller if I could not take out so much of this fun in the game. Even when there are periods I hadly find time for gaming, I stay connected through thinking and planning. Aaand, I love that it is a singleplayer game, because after a busy RL period, I'll get back to my game and find it exactly where I left it. I would welcome a major bug cleaning, but there's always something to focus on that works fine.

Than I would have to make a basegame negative thread lol

With so many packs and kits now, and pack features that have been added to the base I can barely remember what's actually in the base game. 😆
