Got the game today (was supposed to get it on the 2nd but it's a long story lol) and I really like it so far. Got into it easily enough and knew where everything was even with the tutorials going on and was able to jump right in without feeling I was new to the game/
Likes:
-The look of the game is very pretty, especially in certain places of the town. It all goes really well together imo.
-I love that the Sims can converse anywhere at anytime. Case in point I had one of my Sims dance and while she was dancing I had her get to know her roommate better. She did this while still dancing. I all flowed naturally and didn't interrupt the action.
*continuing with conversations*
- Sitting on the edge of the bed is a very nice little thing thrown in. I love that my Sim sat there as he was being talked to by my other Sim. Heck she even joined him a minute later later. :)
- Build mode is just fantastic. I can't really say much more other than I love it and it definitely is cool to use pre-mades and style them to my liking when not doing my own from scratch.
- The music is awesome too. I already have a few favorites.
- Short load times. I clocked my game loading in 8- 10 seconds sometimes shorter (sometimes) Also this is on a regular HDD
- The emotions are excellent imo and I like that you can tell how they feel at any given time. They also have some funny reactions too. I had my male Sim try on a suit and he was feeling flirty or sexy (one of the two) I got a nice chuckle out of that.
Dislikes:
- This may not be the place for this even if it's a dislike but I digress. I did run into some stuttering issues in the game as my game would freeze briefly before continuing on. Now if that's attributed to having the Origin client in the background then that's fixable.
- Maybe I was way into the game, but I swore that one of my Sims needs went down pretty quickly after being fully green. It may have been random but if not then that's odd.
- I am now seeing why people miss the color wheel. The clothes are very nice, but man could they use some alternate colors :p
- As a Simmer said above they are way too tied to their phones. I wish I could turn them off, and they could just check their messages later. Not a huge thing, but something I observed too.
Other than that the game is great, and I'm glad I gave it a fair chance. Lot's to be improved on no doubt, and hopefully worthwhile content will be given to us soon as there are oh so many possibilities with this game.
