This is basically questions for those who bought into all EPs, GPs, SPs, Kits, etc.
Are you still really playing the game in it's entirety?
For instance if you have all or almost everything for TS4 how has the game aged in your opinion? By that I mean, are you still playing 'Play Features' from all the previous packs? Break it down. Set aside CAS, Build/Buy Assets/Worlds are you still really playing older packs or do you barely play any of those anymore?
Examples:
Are you still taking your Sims to the big park in Willow Creek? (basegame) Or did you bulldoze that years ago?
Are you still sending Sims to Strangerville and playing the scenario? Again?
Are you still visiting OR as vacation world with many different Sims?
Are you still making Sims woohoo in bushes? :p (gameplay feature)
Do you still play with the backyard splash thingy or do most Sims not like that in the backyard anymore?
Do your Sims still live in all the apartment types in the CL EP? Or did those bugs and rats and other type lot trait things finally get old?
Do you still make your Sims attend most festivals in CL?
Do you still make Sims go on dates when another Sim calls your Sim?
Are you still making Sims attend the Raves in WB?
Are you still making Sims be mermaids or mere people?
Do you still make Sims do all the things in the island pack? Or just visit from time to time and play another way?
Are you still making Sims visit the Japan mountains in the snowy pack? Do you still make a Sim climb?
Are you still making Sims learn magic?
There are over forty packs I would be here all day, but you get the point. Are you still using on a daily routine all the packs' features and or have you long since or from time to time forgotten all the older packs and don't have time or interest in most of the older content anymore?
You don't have to answer the points but it would be interesting to see how well TS4's 'gameplay' is aging.
If it's missing, I never bothered with it. As for the survivors:
Still take sims to the park in Willow Creek
Strangerville scenario is rare, but still do it on occasion, just finished 2 runs in different stories
OR world, not frequently but still do
Bushes - traditional place for marriage consummations and in general quite popular with romance minded sims
water slide is in nearly every build so long as there's room, my sims love the thing
I don't bother with the apartments, but not because of the bugs, rats, etc. They are just not worth the expense.
If there's a festival, my sims are there. For their own reasons. Romance and spice are essential because of the harvestables
dates - depends on whether the sim is single and looking, recently had a sim marry the one they went on a blind date with
Raves? WB?
Mermaids - via the kelp, never have, but do have a CC pack that provides tails and proper movements so several sims at least have the look
Sulani - just a place to visit on occasion
Snowy Escape - it's in the installation that's been abandoned due to bugs & EA foul-ups that make the game too frustrating to play
magic - depends on mood/story plan, some sims do, some don't
university - too busy with the real thing to do it with sims, but some of them visit, attend lectures, and try things out
