Well, i can agree and disagree with you mate, the general idea of the Sims franchise is the same and it will stay the same .. thats what makes this game so good and fun to play...BUT 2 things that you need to think about them...First - i remember myself at the age of 7 really LOVE playing with batman/ spiderman dulls... make them fight and stuff like that, and i don't like it 20 years later, maybe that thing happened to you with sims games.. and that ok and you need to think about going on.. and second - in games like the sims you (you i mean the company EA) really need to invent yourself again after few weeks/months in order to keep your audience entertained.. and ST4 is starting to lose greed in that Niche.. so don't feel that bad :P one small thing i can suggest to you and to follow me on the game/ youtube , iam trying to make really unique builds in the game to keep people enjoy it :) my motto is - if EA doesn't deliver, i will :P (Example - i just build a Cars retail shop in the game) and you can actually feel like you are selling cars, therefore I created a new job in the game with no CC haha so Look for me :D Same logo as here on youtube - RGR Gaming (Green R)
