Obviously I have never posted anything, so hello to everyone :) I just wanted to say that 4 really sucks and it's only for the fact that I don't have an open world. It is the most frustrating thing to have to load every single time I leave my house. Why... I had 2 and then when 3 came out and I heard about the worlds, it was like the heavens opened up to me and screamed my name. So I got 4 without hesitation. But then I played and I can't even go anywhere! The game is really good and I like literally everything else except for the world thing. Like that's just the absolute worst thing they could've ever done is go right back to how 2 was. And I don't even like playing, cause I literally get so bored being stuck at my sims home all day. And in all honesty, if I had watched a video about 4 before I got it and saw how the worlds were, I would not have bought the game. I threw away the receipt cause I mean, it's Sims 4... 3 was bomb so why wouldn't 4 be? But I'm like so disappointed. And I know, I'm exaggerating but, to me, this is a big deal breaker. I wish I had the receipt so I could return the game and just stick with 3 until they come out with 5 and, hopefully, change it back.
Also, I really miss the community idea they gave us in 3. Like how we had "The Exchange" and everyone could upload their creations for others to download and enjoy. Like now if I want extra stuff, I have to go through other websites and download them from there. I just felt so much more secure doing it from "The Sims" creators and not just random websites. And we still have "The Community" (I think that's what it's called) when you're in the game and can download others creations, but if their creations have external cc then that doesn't work if you haven't downloaded that exact content which really kinda sucks. It's not that big of a deal, it was just nice how 3 helped us come together like that.
Another thing that's really not that big of a deal, but it'd be nice if they could maybe fix it with a patch or something... is the custom music. In 3 they gave us a specific folder in the actual Sims file on your computer that was just for custom music. Which, I thought, was just the best thing ever. And now, you have put your music in other music folders. So like, I have all my music in "Electronica" and when I'm in my game I hear my music and their pre-set music. Which is kind of annoying cause sometimes I just wanna hear music, my sims aren't listening or dancing, I just wanna hear music and the other music gets in the way.
