Basically I like the Sims4 game. Hopefully, when we get the EP for College, it is more like the Sims2 game. I totally disliked the College EP in the Sims3.
What I like in the Sims4 is the freedom of movement among the Sims themselves. They are much more gregarious than before.
I like the choice of careers offered. I am still learning some of the gameplay and feel rather awkward at playing. I like the babies and how they respond in interaction to their parents. I have discovered that interaction overrides other actions between the Sims themselves. This is good when it comes to their social needs. I love the new build mode. I would like the options to change colors and patterns of items as before in the Sims3.
What I do not like is the small town with no interaction as far as commuity such as visiting the park, the bookstore, the spa, or the market, etc. or with other sims in a world setting. I, myself always like the toddlers in all the other Sims games. It gives a more rounded evolve to community life. I like how they build their learning experience to prepare them for childhood and school days. Maybe the toddlers should be more self assertive and not so dependent on their parents meeting their every need. Such as they should be able to crawl and learn to walk on their own. Interact more to other Sims when it comes to their personal attention such as bedtime, hungar, and potty training. Another thing I do not like is, intimate relationships seem to be harder to build even though the Sims themselves are BBF's. Relationships are harder to build and maintain.
I do not like the separate worlds based on family view. I do not like that the adult Sims are not autonomous when it comes to their personal needs. The day is too short to check every Sims needs and be sure that they are taken care of before accidents. I do not like how they walk in on each other time and time again with no learning curve while other Sims are in the bathroom. I would like to see the same family tree and interaction among families such as in Sims1. I do not like the new walk, especially when they really have almost waited to late to go to the bathroom. I do not like the tired slump. Everyone in the world is walking around with a tired slump from either working or exercising. I think the autonomous drop to push-up exercising should be done at home or in the a gym not while on the street.
But, I am looking forward to future improvements. Thank you for the Sims4. Here's to happy simming!
