What is Your Biggest Criticism About Sims 4?
Note: This thread is not for being mean or insulting. Please try to phrase your critiques as civilly and respectfully as possible, no matter how much the issue irks you. Thanks in advance! For me, ...
Forum Discussion
The biggest criticisms for me are:
1. I have to update my game in order to play. I should be able to choose if and when I wish to update my game, especially since the Sims team does not care about quality control and just releases broken packs, kits, etc., that can potentially destroy your game. I'd like to be able to play without being forced to update my game when an update, especially a broken one at that, becomes available.
2. I especially dislike not being able to have multiple players online at the same time. What happened to the good ole days when people within the same household could play at the same time? For example, let's say a parent purchases the Sims for their children in the same household who want to play around the same time? Those kids cannot access the gallery at the same time because they will be booted out and forced to play in "offline" mode. While the Sims have slightly improved on this issue by not rendering the game completely unplayable by multiple people, it still sucks that one has to be forced into "offline" mode. Is there a way to "gift" or "share" a game that you already have with someone so they can create their own username, but play with the games I purchased because I gave them permission to play?
As for in game issues-
3. I hate that even though I take autonomy off, my sims still do NOT listen and basically choose to do what they want.
4. Toddlers have few interaction options with each other. They should be able to play with each other and have group play options with children, adults, and maybe even pets. Toddlers should also be able to join groups to go to restaurants and eat out. Maybe even the newborns too. How- what about bringing back strollers?!!! I hate that we do not have strollers anymore.
5. I dislike that you have to buy and adjust the thermometer for weather changes even at non-residential lots.
6. I hate that my sim cannot cook in their own restaurant. We should be able to do what we want, whether that is cooking, hosting, or serving customers.
7. I dislike that you can order only one food option and one drink per sim at a restaurant. Sure, that makes sense for NPCs, but for playable characters, you should be able to order what you want.
8. I dislike that the lawyer career isn't a playable career (modders if you are listening, please make a venue for lawyers such as courthouse and lawfirm). There is sooo much that they could have done with this career! I miss the Sims 3 lawsuits btw, lol.
9. I dislike that Sims cannot own more businesses without the use of a mod. For example, in Sims 3, I enjoyed having a doctor's office as my own private practice. But because of the restrictions, the buyable venues are only set up with a retail-type system that only tracks sales. What about tracking services?? Sure, that's what kind of happens with the vet office and restaurant, but it just falls flat in my opinion. It should be broken down into Sales or Services, or both.
This list could go on and on, but for the sake of brevity, I'll try to keep it short, lol.
