I'm just so over people rewriting history to fit their own narrative, with the narrative being that Sims 4 is made by a team that has lost all passion, makes decisions that are meant as direct insults to fans, and is only in it for the money.
Guys, I'm about to drop a bomb on you. The Sims series has always had a problem of being really expensive when you add up all of the DLC. It has always had a problem of being incredibly glitchy and increasing broken with each pack. I has always had a problem with Sims not doing much autonomously, or not having unique personalities, or having bad pathfinding. Trailers have always been misleading about the packs they represent. All of these have been issues since at least Sims 2, aka the golden child of this forum. Frequently requested features have always been added for a price on DLC, and not given away in patches (with a few exceptions) like some recent posts are suggesting should happen and would happen with a more passionate team.
Stop pretending like 4 is the only iteration to do these things, and the others were flawless games. I mean if want to make the argument that we're four games in so they should have figured out pathfinding, or how to make sims do actions related to traits autonomously more often, ok, fair. But that's not what I see. It's people trying to deny the flaws of last games and claim all of these issues magically sprung up with 4, and I'm just sick of it.
Sorry for the rant, but for Pete's sake guys. Some on here want to make snotty remarks about how "real fans" and "veterans fans" (which, btw- I really hate some of the gatekeeping on here) hate 4, but in reality all of those veteran fans are fully aware that most of 4's flaws are not actually 4's flaws. They're flaws of the franchise itself. And that's coming from someone who really enjoys all the games l, 3 aside
