Going on a bit of a rant.
Townies
A lot in the game is set dressing so you end up creating worlds, sims, lots and you spend a lot of times doing it. You create everyone how you want, that's why it's so defeating to see the game just ruin all your hard work by barely putting in any effort in adding townies on it's own. They look like clowns and you feel nothing for them. What's the point of adding everything to the game if your world looks like a circus?
Technical limitations
20 sims per lot, sims are locked to activities on the lot so no one visits areas around the world. Worlds are deserted and we only see the occasional sim walking by. And all these rabbit holes are driving me crazy, they should be banned from being used and should only be allowed if the player can do something else. I don't want to read notifications and watch my sim fade away into a black hole.
No travel system
I get it, it's a game, but I find it really difficult to just ignore the fact that I can teleport anywhere I want at any time. Travel is pointless and all these worlds with roads and houses that are just randomly placed everywhere, it feels so fake. Who are driving the cars? The firemen doesn't even have a firetruck? like...what?
The game seems to go on forever
Okay, if you enjoy the sims, fine. But I find it so depressing that we are hearing nothing about a sequel and all this creativity that Maxis are showing in these packs just makes me think how good it would work if they had a game that could actually support what they want to make, what's the point with all this if we are never going to move forward?
Phew, alright.
