Thank you for the thread. So far I'm playing in a frieds house. That way, I've had 5-6 hours gameplay experience already.
What I liked:
- That music and paintings influence emotions
- the tiny world is beautiful
- being able to talk to more than one person
- the individual walking style was an interesting idea. (However I only use two animations for women and 3 for men. The rest is highly unnatural).
What I disliked:
- I miss the open world
- the world is too small
- I used to be a builder and world builder, Sims4 does not provide for this type of player
- the lighting is bad
- bugs
- no toddlers
- you cannot play a proper life simulation: no cars, no toddlers, no sane careers. (Those careers that do exist have nothing in common with reality. Where are the jobs for grown ups???)
- as you can see in the forum the majority of fans are ADULTS, not kids. We've got the money for this very expensive game. Please provide for sensible gameplay.
- bugs and glitches
- hardly any realistic walking styles
What I would like to see in the future:
-An add-on for 16 or 14years plus: Crime and arguments. (Please, we can already burn and starve sims. Could we please properly robb them? After a fight - could they go to hospital? Maybe an official assasination skill? It would be much kinder than starving somebody. What about herb-selling? Could my sim go to jail for serveral sim days? Can I play a homeless sim? Realistic cyber crime career. No fellow criminals.)
- Careers and ambitions. Ordinary real-life careers: Army, medical, lawyer, industrial, office, teaching, cleaning &shop assistant (maybe part-time),.. . Options to block "unrealistic" careers: Astronaut, spy, existing crime career.
-Generations/Family Life (toddlers with new and returning interactions, pre-teens, home school, school buses, private schools, family trees, trampolines etc.)
-Farm Life (cows, horses, pigs, chicken, dogs, lambs, tractors, farming world, new gardening possibilities and new plants)
-Vacation: Destinations: Japan, Europe (medieaval buildings), Africa? (swimming pools with new games, f.e. Marco Polo, Tennis) (boats, houseboats, possibility to build on the water, hotels etc.)
-Wilderness Explorer/FreeTime (camping, zip lines, new hobbies, etc.)
-University Life
- Destinations replacing weather: Skiing resort/new England in autumn (no need for Seasons, if a winter and autumn world would be provided that way)
