As a long time simmer I have hated on these game since it was first announced. Just seeing the faces of 3-4 sims were enough to make me hate the game. But I'm gonna try my best to write what I liked and didn't like here to contribute the feedback system:
WHAT I LIKED:
- So many places to earn money other than having a career.
- Multi-tasking.
- Build mode. (exterior design needs so much work though)
- Easy to use your phone in many ways.
- Many sims around the town.
- More work needed to get a promotion / better grade which is challenging in a good way.
- Easier to befriend with another sim.
- Took some time to get used to the UI but now I love it. White is good.
WHAT I DISLIKED:
- Lack of openworld.
- Loading Screens.
- Not being able to use different sims that are at different locations at the same time.
- Emotions not adding much to the game.. It's just.. There. Your sim gains 3-5 different interactions. That's pretty much it.
- Ridiculously small towns. 20 lots? Um... I get that you had to make the cities slower for reasons but you at least could have added more than 2 cities.
- Lack of places to hang out like restaurants, theatres, stadium etc.
- Lack of community lots like Cemeteries, Hospitals, City Halls, Police Stations etc.
- Teens. Change. Their. Heights. ASAP.
- Lack of old school careers... We instead got rocket scientist. Seriously?
- I kissed another sim in front of his husband three times before he reacted. What's up with that?
All I can remember for now.
SUGESTIONS:
- Please, at least remove the loading screens in between neighbours. It's just 4-5 lots, I'm sure it can be done with a patch.
- A new city at least every month. In my eyes, 6 Sims4 cities = 1 Sims3 city. Which is bad.
- Add weather, aparments, cats and dogs, and basic stuff missisng from old expansion packs all in 1 big DLC. They are not worthy enough anymore to shape an expansion pack. Be creative with new expansion packs, don't repeat yourselves.
- Add pools, toddlers and some more basic stuff like cars in patches in the future. No need to rush but absolutely should not be in a DLC or an expansion pack.
- Make create a town / downloadable towns a thing. Even if we have to pay small amount of money, I want more places to hang out. There really isn't much to do in towns at this moment.
- Do not work so hard on fixing small bugs. All game has bugs. As long as there is a big demand, let your team focus on creating more stuff instead of upgrading the stuff we have because we really don't have much at this point.
Overall my thoughts before are slightly changed. I'm enjoying the game for what it is but I know I'Ll enjoy it more when you guys start listening to the community more.
I'll give it 6 / 10.
I'm hoping it'll go up once the patches start hitting in.
