I like the game, but it's lacking so much stuff it gets boring already. I hope the first EP will have lots of content to pay off the fact that we gave $70 for a base game that is lacking so much.
I really love the multitasking though, I love that my sims can have pancakes with juice in the morning. But there are a LOT of things that I miss and other things that I don't like.
I miss:
- first off. the obvious. toddlers.
- the ability to make friends when socializing at work/school.
- calling work to skip the day or to take some days off.
- npc's. there's not even a repairman. really, ea?
- locking doors.
- laundry.
- dishwashers.
- door bell. I can't even hear the knocking 90% of the times.
- the relax option on beds. really missing reading on bed.
- it's a small thing but sims moving to different positions during sleep and couples snuggling.
- sims dancing together, like "face to face" together.
Things that I don't like:
(not sure if some of these things are bugs)
- female sims get instantly pregnant with huge belly right after woohoo.
- no choice for maternity leave, not even on third trimester.
- sims are always sitting down and changing seats when socializing. really annoying.
- when sims go for a jog they should be able to go AROUND the neighborhood and not run to one edge, stop and run to the other edge, stop, run again, it doesn't feel natural.
- weddings are just like sims 3, guests won't sit down and just stand there doing nothing or talking to each other while sims are getting married right in front of them.
- caterer is useless. on one party, she didn't cook anything and was acting like a guest and on wedding she made the same dish over and over again.
- friends visit my sims way too much. my sims have like 10 friends and every day they all come knocking on the door.
- babies really need an upgrade.
- gardening takes way too long. it takes like 1 sim hour to water and weed ONE plant.
- community lots are boring. all you can do is socialize and drink. not even a fricking vending machine to buy food.
- I hate that I can't see the needs (or anything) when a sim goes to work.
- I really dislike all the walk styles. Even the ones attached to emotions. They are so over the top it's annoying. I wish it was more subtle.
- really hate that you only gave us a handful of jobs and no regular jobs.
- we can't see the selfies sims take. what's the point of this interaction?
- ugly furniture. why can't you make some nice things like Ikea style? it's always either too futuristic or too old fashioned. the in between things are so meh.
And the list goes on and on to be honest. Oh and can I just say that the tutorial was super annoying? Can't believe you didn't gave us an option to turn it off.
