The flop that is called The Sims 4
I've not played the sims 4 for almost 2 years now after I basically just got bored of it. I tried many times to give it one more shot but I just really didn't feel like it anymore since I found it uni...

Thanks OP for your insightful post! I agreed with a lot of your points
In terms of my own opinion, I will say now that I can't compare The Sims 4 with The Sims 3 because I rarely played it. I kind of regret that now, but my laptop at the time just couldn't handle it. I don't think it would be fair of me to do so when I don't have a fully rounded experience to fall back on.
I also can't comment on the Sim Gurus as I don't have Twitter and haven't read any exchanges between them and us.
I will say that I love The Sims 4 and still appreciate it despite it's flaws. But I do have to use a combination of my own imagination, CC and mods in order to keep me invested. I'm right in the middle of my "addiction" phase, but I can't help but wonder once life goes back to normal will I play it as much?
I have all EPs for 4 apart from Get Famous and Island Living and I have to say they were fun for a day or two and then I was back to finding the game bland & boring (I've yet to play Eco Lifestyle properly so who knows how long that will keep my attention!) I just wish the emotions were more substantial, the Sims had more intelligent AI and we had more traits. For some reason the earlier life stages (baby to child) are forgotten about a lot which can affect family gameplay. It would be great if the world was more dynamic and ever-changing, and we didn't have to go through a loading screen to visit next door's lot!
However I do like the graphics, CAS, build/buy mode and the general gameplay...
I definitely think the EPs, stuff and game packs are overpriced for what you get. I watched a YouTuber review My First Pet Stuff and I thought it was ridiculous that 1) it didn't come with Cats & Dogs and 2) a lot of the objects were simple recolours.
I just wish EA put time, care and actual heart in to the games they put out - but maybe that's asking too much of a huge gaming company.
