@Scobre, like many other TS veterans, has played the previous The Sims games, and those were more complete simulation games. TS4 is the first to be so lacking in many things including full rendering for interaction. It's very disappointing really.
In TS3 for example, all the sims in the world whether townies or NPCs can be interacted with which adds to the gameplay. Each townie has a full profile: traits, careers, skills, wishes, relationships. Even NPCs will get a full profile if you add them to a household. TS2 and TS1 has townies and NPCs too that you can fully interact with as well.
In TS4, it's just surprising and very disappointing that you can't interact with everyone and everything in the world like you could with the previous The Sims games. Which makes it worse because there's not as much to do in that game in the first place.
Yeah exactly. I'm a SimCity and Sims veteran, so I do know the skills of Maxis over the years of what they are capable of doing for their games. I really appreciate that immersion with the Sims 3 too. Sims 4 kind of took a cop out with the social worker even not including game play at all or a Sim for that NPC. Sims 4 is well very social distance friendly and very morally safe game.
