You know, I'm really not that hard to please, really I'm not. Think about it, I preordered with excitement ShowTime, one of the least liked EPs of all time. Paid the full $50.00 for that EP, and actually like it, a lot. Even with the fake 'agents' audiences. Even though I was totally disappointed with how Sims sold their albums (lackluster) on the street. Or how repeative it was to practice the same two or three things to gain experience. It was very limited along those lines. But still, I can't be that hard to please if I found some enjoyment in Showtime when others were rolling their eyes over K.P. Or the fact they didn't even include K.P. in the EP but had to download a Maxis one, that in my opinion didn't even favor her at all. I even used the cartoony props for my store fronts....I can use my imagination, and strech it a very long way with things like that, however, TS4's core remains a problem and I can't suspend my disbelief with the core of the Sim so I remain bored with the Sim and then add a lack of gameplay on top of that (or depth) and it's no wonder I want to see a TS5, like today.
