What are you thankful for in The Sims 4?

Here’s all the stuff I appreciate in Sims 4:

Aesthetics:

• Art Style & color - I feel that there’s a good balance between cartoonesque and realism. Love the vibrant colors.
  
• Animations - some true gems in there such as Mountain climbing and yoga. And the moving curtains. After 6+ years I’m still staring at them.
  
• World Design - Yes, I wish I could build my own, but - to be fair to be fair - the existing worlds are gorgeous.
  
• Sound Design - the sound of rain and thunderstorms and the bubbling cauldron calms me down. The sounds of chickens both in game and in real life make me chuckle. Chuckle worthy cluck clucks so they are. They’re such odd birds. Chickens.
  

Gameplay systems:

• The gameplay and perk tree systems that came with various packs e.g. the Get Together club system and the occult lifestate perk trees.
  
• CAS push / pull system.
  
• Build mode.
  
• Multitasking.
  
• The SIMS 3 camera, cinema mode & first person mode. I will never understand how people can enjoy the Sims 4 camera. It’s so very limiting! No wonder so few care about ceilings. ?
  
• Every single occult & adventure / quest pack. Oh Ok, Werebeasts.

Other:

• The Custom music folder.
  
• The Gallery.
  
• Straight forward modding (at least that’s a yay woohoo for PC).

Special Mention:

Journey To Batuu. It’s True. I’m giving this gamepack a special mention because not that many folks seem to care (in fact, despise it) but I mainly play with adventurous scoundrel sims (in and outside of Batuu) and most of my builds are chock full of Batuu items. I still love this pack for all the right reasons. ? ❤️
