Thus far I haven't really been able to put my computer down. A huge step up from the Sims 3!
Dislikes:
*The days seem short, I feel like I am having very little time to do anything but eat, sleep, and work. However, I found expanding the lifespan to long rather then normal has made the anxiety of this problem go away.
*It took a bit to get used to the different controls in the game, I still prefer the Sims 3 view controls over these controls.
*There aren't enough lots, the towns are extremely small!
*I would have liked to be able to interact in the work place more. When it showed pictures of the careers I got excited thinking I would be able to interact much like in The Sims 3 Ambitions. I was disappointed to see this was not the case. Hopefully an expansion pack for this in the future!
Likes:
*I love the pregnancy aspect and the differences between first, second, and third trimester. The pregnancy seems short, however, I get so excited to see what the baby will be that I am actually happen it isn't too long.
*I love that you gave the option to breast feed or bottle feed, kudos to the creators for supporting such a beautiful thing!
*I love the new build mode, it makes it quicker and easier; it also gives you ideas on layouts that you might not have thought of before!
*The graphics are wonderful, and the game runs A LOT smoother then the Sims 3. No lagging or freezing up of the game. I had this issue all the time with the Sims 3.
*I love the cooking upgrades, the difference between normal meals and gourmet meals, and the ability to level up each. I get excited to see what the next meal option will be!
*The new upgrading options are nice.
*I like that there are more personal options in the layout of items.
*My top fave thing is the ability to multitask. I about chocked up laughing when my sim took her tablet to the toilet...*guilty*.
*The emotions are so accurate, and you truly have to work to get someone to fall in love with you. It took me a while to get my sim roommates to like each other, and even longer to fall in love. This stays true to real life!
Overall I am VERY pleased, and can't wait to see what the first expansion pack to the game will be. Great job EA, I have been a fan since the first Sims games came out! Keep up the excellent work!
