That moment when you realize....

That's nice, didn't really care but ok.

Ah, I don't mind having redux things from previous iterations. Sometimes they're actually better. Like the toddler in this game!

Dude where were you when TS3 came out? You know, the game that copy pasted a ton of it's animations from TS2?

blame the community that keeps asking for the same stuff over and over in every sims game rather than letting EA try new things !

That's what made me abandon Sims 3 (read load screens as lag) - why buy all the expansions again for a game that I liked half as much as the predecessor if I could just load said trusty old predecessor? But I quit Sims 3 in time, so no need for a refund.

Guys dont fall for the bait. Its going to escalate again.

Edit:Well its not EAs fault that old things got in the new game :wink:

Eh, I'm ok with it. It really does feel like they're redoing Sims 2 with this, which I'm not against, Sims 2 was great, but yeah. I'm sure they'll try other new things. It's just everyone is clamoring for all the stuff from the past interations. I honestly feel somethings are so intergal in the series that they should with the base game (Seasons, university.) but yeah I understand how you feel. I'll give sims 3 some credit, even though somethings were a flop, they did try new things (tomb raiding with WA, diffent life states like mermaids and fairies, into the future.)

Exactly...
I'm actually more on the sims 3 bandwagon than 2 because of how far it took the game. though as i've been playing sims 2 recently i will definitely give it a whole lot more credit. its been a long time since i played and definitely comes from a time long lost and sadly forgotten.

being that i can hardly afford to buy anything for this game these days and upon revisiting the sims 2 after many years, i've realized everything i keep wishing i could afford to buy i already have.

why do i need to buy the same old shit again that i can barely afford? even better, when am i gonna see something new and different thats worth the struggle to buy?

(dont think of sims 4 as compared to other sims games... we cant have you doing that, think of it as its own game so we can sell you all that great stuff again that we always sell you and get you to like it.)

why do we need to waste a whole stuff pack just to get laundry? why not an update so we can get something more original and not the same old rehashed crap again and again and again.

I can only hope if this is a beautified sims 2 that the same will be done for the sims 3 next. yes, kinda contradicts my post, but if this is what the sims has to become, then make it fair, redo the sims 3 next, fix it, make it better and prettier and get it out of your system so you can plan a sims 6 intended to think outside the box and say it's time we move on to new ideas. or perhaps thinking outside the box is the problem. the comedy seems to have gotten lost. being bored and playing sims 2 lately i seem to have forgotten how silly that game can be at times. like the beavis and butthead style pump your fist move with the mp3 player. and the occasional cut scenes were also a nice touch that seem to have also been abandoned. the game just feels like its come to a point where it is lacking thought and has become all about selling more stuff. more of the same stuff... and do it often. it's safe, people bought it before and they will buy it again. if they dont, they will buy it for their kids. its a win win.

The sims fan base isnt just new simmers, there are many of us here who been here longer than many of these new players have been alive. when you leave people with broken games they love and offer then new games that do nothing more than the old games, old timers will eventually start getting bored.

I finally became a sims 4 fan with the addition of toddlers and vampires, neither of which i even wanted, but was so impressed with those sims behaviors i thought we were finally getting somewhere, and decided I was finally a fan of the sims 4. now im not so sure. bowling? been there done that. looks at the new stuff pack ideas that were voted on... weddings? we already have them... do we really need to dump more money into this idea? starter homes? ok, i'll bite, Cyclonesue quit the business, that leaves a hole. i could see that being stuff we need. Arcade? Do i really need a video game where i play a video game character that i have to sit and watch play video games, rather just playing video games myself? maybe im looking at it wrong. i dont feel like playing video games today, so i'm gonna let my sim play while i sit and watch. Boring. but sure why not... wanna add this crap? people wanna buy this crap? sure go for it. but could we atleast have occasional opportunities to buy packs that think out of the box and do something totally new. ahh... laundry! thats just what i always... ... ... ... ... ... didnt have in mind. Where's will wright when you need him? has anyone tried to get him on the phone lately? maybe he's gotten bored with summer camp or whatever the hell he left to do. or was he just jumping ship before the plane crashes? I hope not the latter.
and i hope theres a new will wright out there just waiting to be found.

It's sad that the only competition out there against the sims are the previous sims games themselves, and they still cant keep up. all i see are great features removed and nothing gained. Disappointing.

Quality over quantity,dear.
