What happened to The Sims?

@Sindocat i play this game everyday like for real and been doing this religiously.

i bet you're not just playing that often i guess

@Sindocat seriously tho.

we're getinng lesser content with each packs, specifically expansions and they all hella expensive. each expansion in TS4 has left a lot of us incredibly boring and feeling ripped off. there are other games out there where i could play the same amount of money and get tons of content and replayability whereas the expansion on this game are so barebones. are they even trying like for real?

I honest disagree with a lot of things. I enjoyed the sims 4. Can some things be improved sure; but to say it horrible had no personality isn't fair either.

Personally I don't watch game changers as they aren't actually doing anything to make changes. If there is a problem you are going have to talk to EA directly. They aren't going to watch all the videos or read everything out there which is clear yet understandable as that would consume so much time that they don't have, so it isn't going to make a difference. Game changers admitted to be given free copies and early access of the game packs and flown to places that most of us will never get to; but can't actually talk to people in EA themselves? Can't report possible issues and bugs before the packs are released to public? What's the point then? Feels more like a popularity content than actually making changes.

The counters look the same to me, no real major difference that I can really notice nor looked bad in my game as it fit in with the rest of the island themed items and looked just like the other one besides the top park as it is an island counter (not like the ballpit or other things people had that was really noticeable and flat. Maybe because I don't have a expensive and fancy computer and equipment as most of use can't afford it I can't see it?), I had sims act random and flirt with both genders on their own. One of my last sims made a flirty introduction to a married woman and she is also a woman, etc..

I feel that the hair and clothing improved a lot, enjoyed most of the packs and game play. The only real issue is that they need to put bugs at a higher priority as some affect game play. As for the style, that is subjective. I lived the more cartoony look that super realistic. Besides it being easier on my computer, it just fits with the sims more in general as the first two games were more random and even daring at times. From what I seen, heard and played.

I really can't see somethings in others perspective as it feels almost like they are playing a different game at times as my experiences had been really different or want more of a Sims 3 and I want more of Sims 2 and possibly 1 (never played but sounded fun).

It seems the problem is that the community wants different things.

I agree that the game needs some serious work on QA, but it's the reality of software/game development that every new pack or feature will inevitably introduce new bugs. Plus they have to integrate new packs with the base game + existing packs, like the Realm of Magic pack integrating with Cats & Dogs. We also need to remember that they're developing this on 4 different platforms; even though they may have different teams working on each it *is still* 4x the work. Not to mention they're probably doing dev/QA on all packs in parallel. Maybe I'm just sympathetic to the plight of the developer, IDK. /shrug

Now, I don't understand the general consensus that we're getting "less content" for each pack, because... I don't even really understand the distinction between expansion and game packs. (Stuff packs I kind of understand because... it's in the name.) Both EPs and GPs may have new items, new gameplay, and sometimes new world/s. So I think the problem is *not* that we're getting "less content" but that it isn't clear *how much* content we need to expect between EPs/GPs. If EA/Maxis will be more upfront with that, then I think at least some of the frustration will be addressed.

Jeannie needs a reality check.

The one thing I find annoying is incomplete build mode sets.
Right now I am building and I am using a room arch. It only has one size for the style. It's a double space. I also need a single space. There should also be a triple and a quad. I have to go to to cc creators to complete my build mode themes.

@CK213

I have the same issue but since I occasionally upload to the gallery I do t use the cc arches. I have made my own arches with wooden poles but we need more.

Having watched James since ts3 I know he's mentioned issues with the game to the devs. But its his job vas a player nor game changer to find all these issues and report back. Also I think some ppl are under the impression that all YouTube game changes have thousands of subs when I follow some with bare 2000 subs. Game changers also exist on Tumblr and other platforms. The devs will definitely hear this being that it came from James. Whether we'll see any changes, we'll have to wait and see.

I don't understand why everyone is so certain that the drawers are on the "wrong" side. Maybe these counters were intended for use against a wall.

That could be it. However, many people use them primarily as islands. A good compromise could have been doors on either side. I've seen those IRL.
