Within a good reason, the game receive a lot of nos and donts for things it has perceived bad. While it the most controversal game from the franchise, according the magority, it's denial it has certain things it does good at. Things that are only/mostly for the approval seems to be rare thing. So I'm creating, for how developers can learn for what things we wish they keep and carry from TS4 in the next gen/sequal game. I'm a fond of and adore some of nice animation it has, as well the artistic design (head-in displays, sound effects, modern UI color). While I personally don't mind much UI (user-interface) myself, but the boolean for "prior TS4" and "TS4" choices in the setting from setting would been greatly appreciated and win win. Emotions: cool idea these are labeled (though perhaps with a toggle) and varieties are provided as animation changers and reflected in creation outlets (painting activity), the system in game design could certaintly be approves. I do like that emotions offered more expressives for Sims, despite being oddly programmed for gameplay.Independent, quite fun toddlers. Many will agree with this.Certain, but not all multitasking features. I like how my Sims can use a mobile while sitting down. Talking while Sim is doing N is dandy, but wish they talk WHILE doing their activity without stopping for brief seconds.In comparison with TS2/TS1, there's much open place to roam around. I love that, though wish you could design and customize these type of interactive parental land to your heart content.Gallery System. Love that you can share and install creation at the fly in-game. It embraces the community strength :)What do you guys like about the game? Where do you think the Sims did great and said deeds doesn't need to go admist for praising?

I love toddlers and Vamps - great job on them.I love how easy it is for my Sims to make friends,I love how much faster they seem to learn things once i get them going.I love how easy and fast it is to build homes now - and make decent looking Sims a lot easier.Love being able to pre-plan 5 outfit in each category as often as i feel like doing so and the Sims often change themselves properly.The more I do things with my sims the more they have a tendency to go do some things by themselves instead of me telling them constantly. My sims will take it upon themselves to exercise after dinner - most days without being told - sometimes goes water the garden areas that are dry with out being told and even read more on a skill book I started them on without being told. Many of these things I usedto have to tell them over and over in previous games - they do on their own once they get told a few times.My artist sims will always paint on her own at least one or two painting a day - I like that self motivation.Those are just some of the things I really like about Sims 4 sims in my game and they do it all with out using mods or any cheats which I love.

Oh yes. Building is certainly faster and easier. Interesting experience of yours with sims having routine tendencies. I'll have to observe on that :)

I'll have to observe on that :)Yes I see it the most in my small households - not so much in big families but especially in single households or those with one roommate - and usually YA's.

I adore toddlers, first of all. They're cute and funny and just the right amount of fussy (even those without the trait) that they're a challenge, especially if there's two of them. I love how they interact with their siblings and with pets in the house - the imitating especially is so much fun to watch. Gardening is super fun, especially in the early stages when I'm playing a game and just trying to set up a garden and collecting all the plants. I've only just recently got Seasons and it's so so very pretty to see snow in winter (and cute to have Sims do their "ooh, first snow" reaction). I love the way the weather makes gameplay exciting because it's unpredictable (at least to me it is). And it poses a fun challenge to gardening. Also, same as Writing_Reg, I love seeing my Sims do the things that I've had them to a few times, but do them autonomously. I have a child in one of my saves who spends so much time outside on the monkey bars, both of his Dads wander off to tend the garden when they're left to their own devices, his older brother is at the piano a lot. It's great to know that they learn direction and then follow it. (and that kids set tables voluntarily and clean up when their responsibility is high) Oh and I love pets. They're so very cute and fun to play with. All that said, my favorite part is still building. I love figuring out layouts, decorating rooms, challenging myself to builds that I wouldn't feel like I want to do, like builds to fit the architecture of a world *cough*Windenburg*cough*

The vampire system is superb. With a few small mods it becomes even better, at least for me. One of my most played saves is a household with six of them and I do like the sheer amount of trouble they can cause. It's not perfect (they've never once needed to sleep during months of playtime) but it's still quite entertaining. The Gallery is wonderful, it's great to see that community aspect integrated directly into the game, on top of it being an optional feature so it's there when you need it and put away when you don't. It's easy to get lost in there sometimes. Also, as someone who works in childcare, the toddlers are pure joy.

I liked the island in WB. I really did love that island and my Sims living in all the houses I bulldozed and I rebuilt there.

I liked the Vampires pack, it was a lot of fun in my opinion. I really loved Vlad and his evil side. I loved he broke into my Sim's home late one night and I barely heard the knock on the door and my Sim opened the door to invite him in, that was a hoot. Perfect folklore.

I liked cafes they were interesting especially when I put one in a fake hotel and played some of my Sims lived in that hotel (they actually did) and they used the cafe to entertain their 'hotel guests' (hands off other Sims I put there living in the hotel).

I really liked DO and built many different type of restuarants and foods, even McDonald's where they ate outside. I also liked running some restuarants in tiny diners roadside inns. It was an interesting concept and totally different from OFB.

I liked playing at the hospital. I didn't follow all the tasks once I figured out all I really had to do was do the chore under the briefcase. Left me a lot more time to entertain myself with walking around the weird lonely city there, and doing other things like causing trouble at the hospital for other Sims.

I really enjoyed the good cop/bad cop concept of playing a cop in GTW. Sherlock had a lot of fun with interrogations.

I liked the one Spice District in CL, it was my favorite area in that world. If I moved Sims there they lived in that area. I felt it was more inline with my idea of what type of Sims lived there (a struggling band was one type of household I put there).

I enjoyed the new karoake setup, my singers/band had a lot of fun with that.
I enjoyed building a make shift mall I think that was one of my favorite spots to take my Sims for a day of shopping, food, swimming, workouts, movies, manicures, etc.

I really liked the movie pack, it helped me enjoy a theater I built where all my Sims would show up and watch a movie (autonomously) then grab a food or drink from the mini bar (like concessions)..it was great and worked very well for a very long time.

I loved I could send a little boy named David off to the movies or around town alone and then not worry where he was, while I played the adults at home, then he would eventually come home on it's on. That was perfect to the actual characters I was playing. It fit right in with how they lived because he was the type of Sim who should and could go off alone and get in trouble or be out and get lectured when he didn't come home on time (pretend) it was great the game let me do that.

I liked running a photo shop in GTW, didn't make much money to start but a lot of fun trying and trying to get Sims to pose.

I liked the clothes in TS4, (what packs I had) because they had a '60's flare to them that fit one story I was playing in one particular household.

I could go one about many things I enjoyed about TS4, I just wish I had liked the later packs that came after Parenthood. I did like that new concept too. Some of my parents were not very good..lol, and encouraged bad behavior. lol

I liked I could build a TARDIS and make it bigger on the inside by having a police box in a lot and the inside all hidden underground, the Doctor Who challenge someone came up with was interesesting gameplay for a challenge. And quite hard to complete, lol but no time pressures other than 'aging' and 'transformation' into a new Doctor making one have to apply a little more effort to get the tasks of one doctor done before the next. Had to do some fancy footwork in that one. (no cheats allowed)

I liked the protesting in TS4 it was different than before and maybe not as much but still interesting twist.

I liked a few stay at home jobs, but wanted self employment for their title instead of unemployed. Especially since they had kids in school and toddlers at home. Stay at home helped with that.

I like the aging toggles in TS4 and hope they keep those for future games more so than any other game's aging choices. Those were very important to me, and good choices too keep.

I liked the wall heights those were new and great.

I really liked the Lice freezer because it helped me build a grocery store where all my Sims could shop for veggies without my Sims having to garden (only one had to do all the work and fill it up) but it kept getting broke from save to save, so grocery store no longer worked. But it was a really great idea for a very long time.

There are many objects and gameplay and toggles and things I like about TS4, it's just I haven't been dazzled in a few years. But TS4 also has some stuff worth doing and keeping for future games.

My Library....

As someone who has multiple Save games I really appreciate that I can access my lots and families in My Library so easily and can see and remember the families I've saved. I've got nearly 200 and like to put them in different situations and worlds from save to save. I get fond of them. :)

Forgot to mention, to give another where it's due, are TS4 environments and just overall looks of the world. Such as waterfalls in GM. Looks stunning and developers know how to deliver it.

I wanted to add Multitasking. I know it can be bittersweet but it is something I do like more so when the game first came out. I love how a sim can grab a plate sit down eat, watch TV, and talk to a family member or friend that's watching with them. I like how they can
continue dancing and chatting at the same time.
