I'm almost tempted to change my original reply to this thread, but I won't. But if I did change my answer it would be my biggest gripe about TS4 would be it's community.
Complaints for 8 years and still they keep buying. Why should EA/Maxis do anything when they make billions (true) off of TS4 when the community keeps buying more content knowing it's not going to work as it should, it's going to be very buggy and it's not what they actually wanted or implemented in a way they wanted?
EA has nothing to learn here as someone stated. They know the community will buy the next pack, kit, stuff pack, EP or GP. And still hope that EA will change. Really, if the game isn't what you wanted it's no one's fault but the buyer. If you are still buying you shouldn't be complaining. Because you know TS4's reputation eight years later and can depend on it's reputation to be less than you expected, less than perfect and less than fun.
Everyone went along with EA/Maxis changing TS4 into a sitcom (instead of a life simulator), a questy game (linear play rather than sandbox) , and or later a Simself game (Identity rules)...it's been all over the map. It's been a Simself game for the past four years, it's been catering to specific group of people for the past four or five years, it's made billions because of that catering. If the game isn't living up to a sterling reputation of great gameplay, in depth personality and needs mods or no one would touch it what does that say? That the community is the problem not EA.
Everybody by now knows Maxis using reused animations, recolors and reuses previous assets...they don't spend that much on reused items and animations. Everybody knows the DLC is only tested with a base game and not all other EPs etc. Everybody knows the gurus add what they want not necessarily what the community as a whole wanted, and or they spend time on text instead of simualtion....and yet they make billions. If it's that bad, stop buying as I did. Because it's just a waste to complain if you bought it anyway.
