The game still has potential but I am getting tired of the catering to builders. I guess that is why I have not played in 4 months. I don't play this game to build and frankly I feel like most of the popular game changers are builders and they are just catering to them. I have said this 4 months ago and here comes a pack with the same focus.
I like they have implemented likes and dislikes but having 20 almost makes it meaningless and doesn't help to form a sims true personality. I guess you can sort of enhance some of the traits but others not so much. You have the basic my fav color is, music is, where is the food option? I would have also seen like my loner sims, hates parties and hates socializing with other sims to enhance the trait of being a loner. Let's change the emotion of it too based on traits...like a loner, hot head would be anger and might start a fight with someone trying to socialize....yet a loner, shy or plain loner may just feel tense talking to other people and maybe be a wallflower at a party. I just really wish they would take the time to flesh out the sims themselves...make them react to different scenarios based on their traits, likes and dislikes. I am still not seeing a change in behavior. Rando emotion is just not working anymore.
I know people have high expectations that Sims 5 will be done properly, but frankly I think it will be worse so I am all for trying to make this game work...LOL
