Alright folks I've stepped in here and removed a whole slew of comments from both sides here. I'm going to point out that this is The Sims 4 feedback section, not The Sims 2 not The Sims 3. If you wish to make a thread discussing the merits of those games or give feedback on them there is a Sims 3 section and a Sims 2 section.
This thread got wildly off topic and rapidly turned into an argument that wasn't necessary in the first place. At the end of the day we each enjoy different versions of these games for different reasons. None of those reasons make our choice wrong, that's why it's subjective. Not everyone is going to agree and not everyone is going to enjoy the same thing, the important thing is to respect other people's opinion and choice without trying to force our own opinion on them and that goes for everyone on both sides of this debate.
Please keep this thread on topic going forward please, you're more than welcome to discuss and debate this respectfully as long as it stays Sims 4 related. If this turns into a comparison thread between Sims 4 and the previous iterations again I'll be closing it because that's not the topic at hand and this isn't the correct section for it.
