What I like:
The moods - they carry the game to a different level, and they keep the game a little more challenging than it's been in the past.
The feel - The game feels so much smoother, I have not had any issues with crashing or graphics problems or cache issues like the Sims 3 brought to us.
Sleeping - I LOVE how fast time moves when the Sim goes to sleep. Nothing worse than sitting there watching nothing while your Sim sleeps for 8 long hours.
Multitasking - LOVE IT
Parties - I love the party options, and that you get little tasks to do. I also like that I don't have to browbeat my Sim into socializing at the party.
What I don't like:
- I don't really miss pools, but they should have been in the game.
- Toddlers - come on guys.
- Relationship decay - It's crazy how fast relationships dwindle. If my friends were that needy, I'd be a hermit.
- I want to be able to turn that tutorial off. It drives me absolutely insane.
- I'd also like to be able to engage the traditional interface, maybe a toggle option? I don't like the drop downs/ups etc.
- Not enough lots to choose from, definately not enough LARGE lots to choose from. There's like, 1 big lot that you can purchase.
- Loading screens between every venue, props that they're quick but it's tedious. I miss open world.
- The base game feels so boring after all the expansions. I absolutely understand not having ALL the content from Sims 3 right away, but I feel like there isn't much to do outside of going to work, going to a random lot, and throwing the occasional party.
- I want more customization when it comes to ages and how long they stay in certain phases, i loved the sliders in TS3
What I want to see:
- Please don't release expansions we've already seen with minimal changes to the game we bought years ago. For pets, I really want to see truly exotic pets available.. like foxes. I really want a fox. Or a Sim with a high skill in animal taming or something can have a tiger or something crazy. Get creative and give us something we have not seen before! Natural disasters for seasons would be awesome. Not in place of what you've given us in TS3, but in ADDITION to.
