The lack of in-depth game play is a real issue. Everything that gets added seems like sugar coating, delightful to look at and exciting to play through... but then I'm left with nothing. What I can't figure out is if it is simply because it is only a few packs in and more content will alleviate this or if it really is just a simple game.
This is a big problem for me too. When I first started playing The Sims, I had only the base games for TS2 and TS3, and I played with just the base games
for years. It was maybe three years before I bought my first expansion pack. It was only in the months before buying that first expansion pack that I really started to get bored with TS2 and TS3 the way I get bored with TS4.
I loved the drama and relationships and the stories between all of the premade sims in TS2, and I loved the beautiful open worlds and the abundance of customisation options in TS3. I loved the way families interacted in both games.
I feel like TS4 is starting to go in the right direction, but it still feels like it's lacking in depth. I'm hoping that future packs will enable the game to captivate me like TS2 and TS3 did.
