I'm not so sure about that. I mean, I'd like a more realistic game and agree that some of the things they do in TS4 seem silly and cheesy but it's a game after all. I remember being 10 years old back in 2000 and playing The Sims 1 base game for the first time. It were hours of fun and one of the things I loved about the game was that two male Sims were able to love each other, then live together.
Then with TS2 and TS3 we got Civil Unions and then Marriage. It made me very happy at that time in my life that a game would let me do these things I knew were normal but real life were not making it easy.
Just like me, I want more kids to discover this game and develop great memories playing it.
