That's so depressing The Sims without Store.
There are so many things missing the game each time, even the kits can't even be satisfying.
Many things add a new gameplay what kits don't do but TS3 Store did.
There is no TS4 Store so I spent money in Daz Studio content (I purchased thousands of products).
You just like shopping and it gives you a high when you shop for things but that is not a good excuse to bring back the store.
For example I created and saved a new sim yesterday, I used 20 packs to do 8 outfits.
The more content I have, the more I can do what I want.
Store content is similar to CC/mod , collecting content in order to extend the possibilities is something important for me.
I feel the same as you but towards gameplay items, they enrich my experience of the game when done right. On the other hand, I don't understand the outfits thing, once the sims are clothed and booted they will still be addicted to their phones and spin the football and pretend they are playing football. It's like they're hitting an invisible wall that says this is the limit.
You and I feel the same in terms of gameplay being what matters, and the details of what socks they wore etc. being irrelevant. However, I have a now-grown daughter who educated me on my biases including the fact that to her and people like her, fussing over the details of appearance IS what matters to them most, is what is most fun and rewarding to them, and to my daughter, she says that men could have the tables turned, that when you've seen one explosion, you've seen them all, yet we never tire of explosions in movies, and likewise, there's nothing interesting about watching a ball move: it goes to this end of the field and then that, with people moving it about, and for what?
I think that hiw things move, how they work, and what changes happen, is interesting, and that the color of paint on the wall, whether someone wore a different pair of slacks or a particular skirt paired with certain earrings, and most especially the details of makeup and nails, tedious to think about or have to take notice of. She finds the idea that a ball being moved back and forth across a field, or that machinery is interesting just because it moves and does things, equally tedious.
By this I don't imply that all people of a specific gender have predictable interests, but she finds far more in common with herself and other young women in these matters, than she does with herself and men, and I find the same generally holds true for me, the other way around. Of course there are exceptions, people aren't just walking stereotypes, but it took my daughter standing up for her POV to teach me that mine isn't the only one out there, or the only one worth taking seriously.
? I still don't want to fuss with outfits but there are a LOT of simmers, perhaps the majority, who like that part of the game best. We don't all have to have the same motivations.
I do feel like in sims4, it has been tilted too far in one direction, and the endless parade of soon-to-be-dated clothing is a lot to scroll through for those of us who don't enjoy getting dressed as a hobby in itself.
