It seems like this is the first year out of The Sims 4's lifespan where Maxis has implemented nothing but new, original ideas to the series. This comes at no surprise, given a guru has told us to expect that prior to this year. Is it a coincidence some are calling it TS4's worst year yet?
With that said, I personally feel these original concepts are pretty... unexciting, to put it kindly. Knitting, stuff for tiny homes (which was obviously meant to supplement the expansion), and eco-living, one of the most buggy and, well... blah ideas for a pack that has also clearly not been gameplay play-tested enough, otherwise people wouldn't have NPC Sims rampantly stealing from their lots and such. How could that have passed Q&A? Is there still Q&A at all for the series?
I swear, nothing has made me appreciate The Sims 3 more than seeing how low The Sims 4 has taken the series. World Adventures, Ambitions, Generations, horses in Pets, Supernatural, Island Paradise, Into The Future -- look at how many original ideas The Sims 3 introduced that turned out to be such fun additions to the series!! What happened???
Everybody would LOVE new stuff if we at least was up to have everything included in the Sims 3 base game. We're not there yet.
That's part of the problem, but the big problem are the packs themselves .Just look at Journey to Batu? I don't think the base game would help it.We would still have a bad pack.
I agree if EA/Maxis had released everything from the packs into format of an base game the game will still have the same effects it has now, The game would still be gimped as it may run okay but I look at what EA/Maxis took out to make sure it runs okay instead of taking the time to make sure the game runs good even with the features still in. I have no faith for Sims 5 as EA/Maxis rep is tarnished starting with Sim City 2013.
