Positive thoughts on The Sims 4

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.
