Really EA Maxis Get Famous:(EP)(Please Close)
All I really wanted is a desert world with snow and I am pretty sure the get Famous world won't have any snow since its based around Hollywood and snow would ruin the parties. I even did a poll forum...

I make my sim learn everything - I use no cheats at all - no mods or CC. I play like I would learn as a real person. No shorcuts - no getting anything you didn't earn with hard work, and no story I have to fabricate in my head. If I have a picture of my sims it is not posed or full of fake stories - it's a picture of my sim in action in the game.
But technology is a whole other ball game - it is not transferable and changes constantly. There is no easy out for programming and there is no difference in the work needed done to build a game from scratch - everytime the game start a new. So technology we had in 2009 barely resembles tech in 2014 and has even changed again in between 2014 to 2018 - that is why they keep overhauling what was done before and why tech did not allow some things in 2014 they can now add in 2018.
They did not even use the same tools and software making weather in 2017 they used when they were making Sims 2 or 3 was my point. How one plays is similiar because that is your playstyle - but how the game works is not. Believe me I can do all sort of things to previous Sims games - that I do not have a clue how to do in Sims 4. It is that different.
The thing with technology is that it is always getting better and more powerful. Can we agree on that? Technology changes in order to make improvements and to make things possible that were impossible before.
In your own comment, you state that technology has made it possible to code things now that weren't possible even four years ago. Then, why is it so much harder for EA to code things that were possible over a decade ago. Even if it requires a different route to get the same result, by your comment, the same result should be possible and more, no?
I just wish that EA would take advantage of the technology at hand to provide players with the freedoms that we had before and more. It seems counterintuitive that modern technology is incapable of accomplishing what was possible years ago.
My brain can't wrap itself around that notion. To me, that's like saying a caveman could start a fire, but us -- with our matches, butane lighters, gas stoves, and battery lighters -- can't achieve the same result (much easier, at that) because those technologies are more complicated and/or different than the method that the caveman used to start a fire.
ETA: Sorry, OP. It's not my intention to hijack the thread. I just felt that you should be able to have snow in the desert if you want to. That's what playing the Sims used to be about.
