Sims 4: A Disappointment?
I have spent thousands of hours playing Sims 4...the only comparable game to Sims 4 would be 'World Of Warcraft'. This is my offline game...I have about 3 hours 'online' play on my Origin account. Sim...

Sims 4 requires mods...mods have saved this game from dying a slow death. For a while, the expansions and game packs installed some much needed fun and enjoyable content, but the modding community added depth and context to offset the randomness of the vanilla game.
Without the wonderful modding community with a particular shout out to 'Deaderpool', I wouldn't be playing Sims 4 anymore. EA are more than aware that the modding community saved their game and made them a lot of money in the process.
The last two years however, have been disappointing. The packs have been superficial at best and the fun factor has been arrested, charged and imprisoned for the forseeable future.
I held out hope for 'Cottage Living'...it certainly adds some flavour to the world of Sims 4, it has a nice aesthetic. But is it fun? Is it replayable and does it enhance the existing world of Sims 4? I am on the fence.
Ah, maybe for you no mods were required, in Sims3. For me? I had 20+ Nraas, Industries mods in place just to make the game stable enough to play. I play on a gaming rig, too. While I'm very glad you didn't have issues with Sims3, many of us did. I began my Sims Odyssey with Sims2. As for what Cottage Living brings to Sims4, there are those of us who enjoy the country-life. Farming, living off of the land. I also use mods to add depth, so I can't argue with you on that. Overall, I love Sims4 more than Sims2, something I never thought I'd say. But the Toddlers, themselves, are so very worth it. Best in all of the Sims franchise, I daresay. (I used to play WoW, but I've learned I really don't like multiplayer games.) Take heart Sims5 is in the works and is said to be multiplayer. Hang in there, that Sims game might just be the one that suits you best.
