Talking Teenagers
Hey Simmers, Wow, it's been literally 3 years since I was on the forums, no lie. I've just been getting back into The Sims 4 over the past few days, and I have a serious question for you all... ...

Yes, good adition, that remark. People defend their playing style and rightly so, but there’s indeed been this official statement about one particular playing style.
It’s a chicken or the egg thing of course. I don’t know if the official statement refers to Sims 4 only? Must be, because as long as I remember I’ve seen people playing families in the Sims 3 stories I followed (to a point where I’d often go “I’d wait with that pregnancy because once your sims have a child it will be all about that, just like in real life; enjoy life for a bit first, explore what there is to explore”). Sims 2 is so very much loved in general because of its family focus. If the statistics show Sims 4 players aren’t family players, one could wonder if it’s the players or perhaps rather the game. Looking at statistics is one thing, interpreting them another.
Well for ages with Sims 3 the biggest thing was doing Legacy Challenges, which came from TS2. So I'd say it's a TS4 thing?
I LOVE the legacy challenges. I'm actually on generation 7 of another legacy in TS3 and it's so much fun. I'm FINALLY starting to get a decent house.
I'm also doing a legacy challenge in TS4. I've got a mansion with every (major) skill up item available on the lot. 4 collections are complete. I've finished quite a few aspirations and there's over 1 million in the bank. I'm on generation 3... With the teens and children lacking game play, and millionaires with no wants for anything, I'm struggling to find a reason to go to generation 10 here.
I've currently gone 4 generations further in TS3 than TS4 to get to the same stage. Something feels broken with that.
The families themselves too feel so different. I am quite attached to my TS3 family. They feel dynamic and the characters are quirky. The kids and teens act like kids and teens. My TS4 family I'm pretty *meh*. They have no personalities and nothing really to different about any of them despite having very different traits and being different ages.
I'll probably quit my TS4 family now, or play it less. I'm nowhere near generation 10 but anything I do now is just excessive. It would be a different story I'm sure if I was attached to the characters and I'm just don't. I don't care about them because they don't make me want to care about them. *shrugs* I care about my family in TS3 though and can't wait to see what happens next with them.
