This is what Sims 4 is lacking

Yes — it’s the small details which truly matter the most. But to sum up that video, and what I feel The Sims 4 is lacking in its entirety, is heart and charm.

Nintendo just unveiled a 30 minute trailer for their own life sim’s sequel, and existing fans of it would know best, the sequel just exudes tiny details everywhere which makes it feel as if the developers love and care about every little facet of that game. I could go into more detail, but I’ll cut it short here. It’s just simply amazing what will happen when you have developers that go that extra mile every single time and a company that has nothing but passion for its craft.

It just feels the developers and executives behind The Sims don’t really have a vision which meshes well with what The Sims has been, and where it would shine best going forward. We pour 100s of our dollars into the games and DLC, write borderline essays of feedback on the forums for YEARS and what happens next? The CEO telling us we want our game to be an online experience. DLC for our DLC. Linear scripted packs. A hot tub for the big 20th.

This is why I’ve stopped buying The Sims 4 packs and why it’s very hard to get excited for the possibility of The Sims 5.

You mean Animal Crossing? I so look forward to New Horizons! It looks like it combines what you know and loved (I’m only familiar with New Leaf), but better and with more options, more freedom. It’s exactly what a successor should be about: improvement. We just really even shouldn’t have this conversation, “is Sims 4 an improvement or not”. Having to ask the question in itself reveals the problem.
