When we finally get S5, we might think S4 was the good old days.

Everyone used to trash TS3 during TS3 days.

Whether people will admit it, A LOT of the Simming community fall into the following;

a) They like the older games because they get addicted from the nostalgia feeling. Lots of users used to hate TS3 when I was on the forums during 2013, and now a lot of them did a 180 once we saw gameplay of TS4. So they hate whatever is current.

b) They hate the games until they have the key Expansions (SO MANY people kept bashing The Sims 3 until we got Pets, Seasons and University). In 2013, a lot of the people bashing TS3 finally went quiet. I’ve also seen YouTubers like StarlightSims who would bash EVERYTHING about The Sims 4, but then she loved it as soon as we got Toddlers.

There will be a lot of Sims 4 bashing. Then we’ll get the whole boost from legacy players once TS5 happens.

It happens EVERY time. People forget how TS3 forums were. Now it’s a super positive section.

lol, I haven't changed. I remember complaining about legit stuff about TS3's AI and getting blasted over there, too. lol I'm still the same old me..TS2 is still the best game in my opinon. The mechanics of TS4 is still annoying, (click on Sim to talk and they come to my Sim instead of my Sim going to them/totally backwards from prev. games) And the traits are still worthless. I complained loudly about Evil shower, or other silly stuff that did nothing in TS3. Everyone knows I'm not a fan of buff and moodlets systems, and still think TS2 is better than all of them. But like some things in all of them I wish I could add to TS2 then it would be absolutely perfect. I would like to save a 'room' in TS2, lol since I build so much when I can. But yes, I was one of those who refused to add the mods to 'fix' TS3 and complaned loudly about having to have a mod to clean up the game, spamming cabs etc. It sort of like the arguments I see here, people love TS4 who have mods in it to keep their Sims at 'Fine' and other stuff just like many TS3 players had to 'fix' things in TS3. I refuse on either game. I think developers should fix the problems, not Simmers. It's one thing to need a 'fix' and another to add an enhancement. I see a big difference. ETA: But if we must have buffs, please make the game like The Sims Medieval buff system where they matter. lol (and very funny and meaningful).

Uni in TS3 is better than Uni in TS2.
Vampires in TS4 are better than in TS2.
Emotions in TS2 are better than TS3 and TS4.
Toddlers in TS4 are better than TS2.
Seasons in TS3 are better than TS2.
TS2 failure states are better than all.
TS2 AL is better than CL
TS3 Ambitions is better than TS4 GTW
TS2 OFB is better than TS4 GTW
TS4 GTW Doctor career is better than TS2 doctor career...TS3 doctor career better than TS2 doctor, too.

and so it goes.
