- I liked:
The Gallery
New look for drinks and meals
Wall heights
Event planner
Catalog search and filters
Spandrels and friezes
Decoration items for walls and roofs
Multitasking
Body modification
- I didn't like:
Removal of create a style (CAST) There's not matching colors-textures for most of the items/clothes...
No half walls (PLEASE add this soon, I have a couple of creations waiting to be finished with this)
No double chin option (Can't recreate a lot of people without this option!)
No terrain modification
Same foundation in all rooms
Same height for all rooms in the same floor
Small World
No Pools and Hot Tubs
All Sims have the same height (specially teens)
No body hair
No basements
No fears
No dishwashers and no trash compactors
Not being able to create round walls
Not being able to place stairs on diagonal, corners and rounded foundations
No cars or bikes
World being populated with random Sims, even deleting all NPC
Not being able to manage service NPCs like the maids
No family trees
No bartenders or other NPCs on the community lots
Achievements not saving into Origin profile
No buydebug and moveobjects cheats
Fridges looks weird in size
Emotional deaths
Weather, spiral staircases and L-shape stairs (At this point of the franchise that features could have been in the base game)
No home phone and Alarm clocks
No way to edit the light colors when editing a lot without a Sim
Male Sims have less clothes, hairstyles and accessories than female Sims (Base game just have 1 underwear option for males!!)
Community lots included are boring
No work clothes option
No swimsuits
- Suggestions?
Too many good features are gone, including the Create a Style (that could be easily the best feature EVER in The Sims franchise) by the way, this game wasn't as bad as I expected to be, and can be improved a lot yet, especially if the stuff listed on I didn't like list are added or fixed. I expect you to do free updates soon with some of them. I loved friezes and decoration items for walls and roofs, please add more! and remember to add black and white recolor for EVERY item.
-Overall thoughts?
After playing Sims since the begining of the franchise, with all the expansions, all stuff packs, lots of store items, it's so hard to start again and see that a lot of features are missing, downgraded or even play with the uncertainty and ignorance of when and if you are going to release the features and objects that all fans expect from this franchise. A lot of these people, like me, will not enjoy the game until a couple of expansion packs are released.
