@Sk8rblaze Looking at your screenshot just made me sad. Summer festivities in TS3 included skating, soccer, actual eating contest, water balloon fight that actually worked, face painting, tanning booths, snow cones...
And what you've got in TS4? A sad skating rink that townies don't even use and a single concession stand. That's it.
Now I'm not trying to say TS3 was a perfect game. It wasn't, and it certainly wasn't for everyone. I just think it's unacceptable that we're getting EPs so light on content these days, so light that a seasons expansion only gives you sprinklers and a kiddie pool to play with in the summer.
Speaking of collecting, looks like it's been thrown into TS4 last minute just for the sake of it. Always had the impression that devs were just like "quick, let's research people's favorite things to do in games these days...ah, collecting items....okay we'll scatter some rocks around the world for people to pick up I guess"
I agree with you Sims 3 was not perfect but all in all some of that chemistry Sims 3 had as well as some of Sims 2 could have migrated into Sims 4 as with other series certain features from old do make it into the newest version along with the newest features. It is just EA/Maxis had cut Sims 4 right to the bone in the beginning and it has left an bad taste on my gameplay spoiled any good thoughts I had with this series. Some accept what EA/Maxis did and some don't. I cannot say if they did an good job or not. I look at what they did to SimCity series and I believe the same can happen here as well.
