Well, the sims3 "is my love", but is heading to "was my love". To me, Sims4 (after the first two years) is definitely better now, and I am really enjoying it.
I don't write long post because I don't feel the forums is all about explaining and going into "depth" about everything. It is for sharing, caring, and helping others out.
I keep it short because I don't feel the need to go into detail and I personally don't feel the need to back up any of my claims. There are a lot of post (even long ones) that I enjoy reading, but that doesn't mean I have to write a book about my game.

I like all the series, they all have their ups and downs. I think the team has done a fabulous job with all of them. Yes, I am a long time simmer, who has enjoyed the series all thru the years.

Just this! I feel like I shouldn’t be forced to explain myself. I love the game and I’ve loved all of them. Why does it matter so much that I write a huge detailed post about what I love about sims 4? Could I do that? Yes I could but it isn’t necessary. I’m just gonna say I love the game like I’ve loved them all end of story.

Also I love that when I tried to explain it a bit above I’m told it’s wrong. Smh. @ClarionOfJoy I said the depth of the systems was the best in sims 4, like fame and vampires. Never that the depth of sims 4 was better than sims 2, it’s better than 3 though.

That's funny because all the other TS1-TS3 simmers can go into great detail to back up any claims they make and can even make successful comparisons to TS4 as to why their version is so much better than TS4. They even provide images and video to their statements. I've never seen any TS4 simmer be able to do that.

And then here you are making another claim that "it's better than 3 though". You learned nothing! Lol! Go ahead and back that up with specific examples that TS4 is generally better than TS3. Can't prove it? Then it's just your opinion and not fact!

As you put it, they go into great detail to back up their claims? I see it as they are comparing what they enjoy in their preferred game they are playing and, not backing up any claims. I see the images and videos they provide as something to watch and enjoy for comparison reasons.

Boy we really can't have a positive Sims 4 thread on these forums, can we? We really have to complain on every. single. one, don't we?

If Sims 4 have little or no depth for some folks then it doesn't and if it does then it does. For me The devs failed to tweak what they had and I wound up with an program that initially had no drawing power and today Sims 4 is a little better. However, for me the packs are gimped as not to upset performance meaning for me as an gamer there is nothing I find that is blows me away. Sims 3 is the older program and I would have expected the newer one to be better or even complement the older version but it didn't. This debate will continue until an new version comes out(if it happens).There is nothing I can do to change Sims 4 path only EA/Maxis can do it and its path has already been written and planned a long time ago. The nice thing about owning the older versions I can always go back and play the way I loved to play. One thing about Sims 3 it's platform is still connected as it has not been archived to date as the Sims 1 and 2 was done not too long after. So in essence Sims 3 has left an mark on most people. Sims 3 was not for some people as Sims 4 is not for some people no matter how well you debate it.

I barely remember past iterations. There are some things I miss (like crawling toddlers) and some things I don't (the pudding faces in Sims 3). As for Sims 4, families are more like families than they were in previous games - parents and kids can interact in much more sophisticated ways. I like being able to transfer Sims from household to household without mods, and I'm glad the requirement for eight billion friends to get a work promotion is gone. I love being able to use any category of clothing (male, female, gymwear, sleepwear) when creating outfits. (But, for the love of the Great Llama, can't we please have swatches that match? I don't want a colour wheel. I just want things to match.)

There are still things I want from S4 - some will come in expansion packs eventually, some things won't. I do feel like I can play S4 the way I want to play it more than I could the previous games (or, at least, I can do what I want to do without mods).

I would just like to say I feel like this game is the best one yet. There is nothing lacking and everything to be added is just super amazing extra stuff, more than I could ask for or imagine. It looks amazing, has lots of gameplay and is super comfortable, enjoyable, fun and interesting to play.
Thank you to the game developers team!

It's great you love it. I loved TS2. So, yeah, have fun with it. But I'm only pointing out you do make several topics requesting things be changed, and things be improved and tweked here and there, and you weren't happy about the freelance career (which you stated isn't anything new since we already have painter, writer etc. and ask what was new about that in another thread). I'm not sure you are being serious, but if you are have fun, but others also ask for tweaks, changes and improvements, that's not hating, that's necessary. ETA: your post here is almost saying it's perfect, maybe to you it is, but you have also made threads pointing out it's not, so I am taking this post with a grain of salt at the moment, or it's just bait I don't know, if it is bait, I fell for it.

TS 4 is my favourite. Since someone asked for specifics, here's why:

1. My main reason is that it's by far the easiest to play stories with. If I want a challenge I play 2, but most of the time, I just want to use the game to play out all of these stories. The fact that their needs aren't that hard to take care about and multitasking is what makes that possible. I use my own imagination a lot when I play and can come up with what my sims should struggle with on my own. I usually don't make them have their dreamcareers right when they age up to YAs, I make them fall in love with people that don't like them back and so on. I even have my own system for when to age sims and banking and stuff.

Would I like those things to officially be part of the game? ...maybe? I like how the things I come up with myself works. Also, not everyone is that hardcore. When I start a new game, I spend a long time creating all the families, making houses and coming up with ideas for storylines. That's not for everyone. And no, I could not have done this with the other games, because taking care of the sims took too much time.'

2. I like the art style. If they would try to make it realistic, I thin kthey would end up in uncanny valley. This way, it looks good and it doesn't look like something that is trying to look real, but can't.

3. I like how neighbouthoods are handled. There are plenty of sims moving around to make it feel alive, but it's not lagging massively. I would have liked it if we had open neighbourhoods, but I think this is okay. For me, it's preferable to only having the lot to move around or having an open world, but no sims anywhere.

4. The toddlers. We got them late, but I think they're the best addition yes. I'm a family player, they are important to me.

And so on. The rest are smaller things that I just genrelly like.

Also, it bothers me how people act like liking 4 isn't valid. Everyone plays the game differently. 4 is definitley more for story players than those who want a challenge, and it's okay to play any of the others if they suit your playstyle better. Just don't tell others that they can't like 4.

I hadn't played The Sims since TS1. I did a bunch of research and looked at screenshots from TS3 and TS4 before choosing which one to buy. I chose TS4 because it seemed better to me. I have been thrilled with my choice. I'm sure TS3 is awesome too -- I know TS1 was -- but I have had many happy hours of play time with TS4. :smile:

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.

This game isn't free, so people are well within their rights to speak on things they don't like about something they paid for, I don't get the issue with that.
