I can't play the game for more than 30 minutes at a time because of all the features that are missing. I would play the sims 2 but it crashes a lot on my computer randomly. My sims feel all the same and are not unique at all and forget about the fact that they are happy all the time even when someone dies or cheats. They don't have any wants or fears to speak of so there is nothing driving them. Babies are useless and so are many of the other life stages besides adults. I use to be able to play for hours now I find myself daydreaming about what the game could be. The simmers in this community have so many great ideas that it's hard for me to understand why none of them are implemented. I'm tired of hearing them say they can't do something that we had in the sims 2 and 3. Like kids playing tag or bunk beds. The sims look great and the build/buy is nice too but what's the point if the gameplay stinks. I now find myself just building but it would be nice if I could actually play the game. The new stuff pack looks nice for CAS/Build/buy and I know I will buy it but at the same time it's not going to make the game fun and it's not going to change anything. I keep thinking that they'll patch in wants/fears and better personalities but honestly who knows. I've been playing this game for more than half of my life and I hate the direction it's gone in. They keep cutting corners, reusing the same animations even in expansion packs where we're supposed to get new animations. I hate how happy this game is my sims don't have enemies because even after their done fighting they hug and start having a friendly conversation. I don't mind using my imagination sometimes to play the game but when I'm only using my imagination the game becomes stale and boring. We don't have cars, robbers, firefighters, buses, open neighborhoods. Even the houses around my sims are backdrops that don't even exist. If they do make a sims 5 I have very high expectations.
