I played 1 and 2 on my daughters computer, and we didn’t own all packs because we couldn’t afford it, or the computer lagged too much after a pack. I owned sims 3, but didn’t play it long because it would crash a lot ( even with a good gaming laptop). It also had a lot of rabbit holes. And, I don’t remember being able to play rotationally. I got tired of reinstalling it fast. And I got involved in an online game I liked. Sims 4 I have all expansions , game packs and stuff packs except Discover University which I will be getting soon. I started on a low end laptop, and it held several packs without lagging. Because of the lag, I took 2 years off because I could no longer Keep buying packs, and toddlers made it lag so much ( though I wanted them badly). In those two years I saved for a new gaming laptop and started buying all the packs again ( starting with City living. I love that it doesn’t crash and the ease of getting packs through origin and being easy to download and install. I don’t use mods and CC in this game ( while back in sims 2, I made some CC clothes). At my age I am too computer illiterate, and it isn’t worth it messing around with trying to figure out how to take out mods and CC and update them, making sure nothing is broken. I love all the stuff packs because I love getting new content. I feel punished since they stopped offering us so many stuff packs. I don’t think we should have to rely on custom content to get new clothes, hair styles, and objects on a an often basis. I loved each time packs came out, I miss not getting so many. I ask EA..... please bring back regular stuff packs. The main issue I have with sims 4 is that I miss it being more like sim 2 was when I comes to babies, And the fun of buying clothes rather all clothes being opened to sims without buying them, I think you could even buy clothes for babies back then, and they didn’t seem like objects. Also, in Sims 2 children could play with each other.... playing tag, cops and robbers, volleyball etc. I also liked likes and dislikes, the memory system and things like that. Oh, and I absolutely loved the color wheel for making clothes and furniture combinations, it gave us so many more objects and clothes with all the combinations without having to buy or download custom content. I hope they bring the color wheel and patterns back in sims 5, real babies, toddlers clubs, active careers ( which I see as one of the best features in sims 4 ) and buying clothes ( without being giving them free). I wish we had to buy clothes, jewelry, shoes, make up etc. I do also love the way the sims are done (CAS) in this pack, so easy to make, they can gain and lose weight, they have tons of recipe options and multi tasking. I love the active careers and also being able to have my sims make money in so many different ways without a real job. Just had one of my sims do DJing and was happy to see he could really make money from it. I also love being able to play rotationally.and not worry about my game crashing. Bring on more stuff packs, and more active careers!
