It was really a very disappointing and painfully limited, empty game in the beginning. It did improve, but at what cost? A lot of money and it clearly still isn't there, according to all the comments when someone dares to mention a Sims 5 ("They still have so much to add to Sims 4 for it to be complete!"). Comparing, a few months from now in 2013 they announced Sims 4. That made perfect sense back then, Sims 3 felt complete (even when 2 more EP's would follow after the announcement).
