I like variety in my gameplay, so it doesn't have to be strictly a simulation game to scratch the creative itch that I was able to indulge in past Sims games. Playable Worlds has just been announced, and although it is obviously quite a few years away, I am going to be keeping a very good eye on it.
Mainly what I want to replace that I feel like I lost with this iteration is the CREATIVE+FUN combination that came together in that Sims sort of way. I don't care what category of game it turns out to be so much, as long as it scratches that particular kind of itch in the way that The Sims always did for me in the past.
Either way, I am very much looking forward to moving forward when I find the right fit for me. I've been completely discouraged about having fun in a real modern Sims game for far too long now. When the time comes that there is a new adventure ready, I will be too.
