Ditto.
They really don't seem to playtest at all.. maybe all they look for is that it somewhat works and not whether its fun for them or not. Since they cater to tweens, then they probably assume that they can be entertained by almost anything, and don't care about making a game fun for the rest of us.
It's always just kinda sad to me. I want to love the game so badly, but there's so much of it that bothers me that I just feel cheated playing it. When I play ts2, I'm endlessly mesmerized. All they had to do was remake ts2 with better graphics and options (fatter/fitter sims, more life stages, more skills/interests, more jobs and types of worlds and weather etc). That's it. No need for whatever ts 4 is.
