I'm pretty familiar with this and I've taken a few quizzes on it. I'm split between Explorer and Killer, though I lean more toward Explorer. I'm extremely detail-oriented so I enjoy games that are heavy on immersion and that provide a decent amount of depth while giving me the freedom to explore and discover new things.
On the Killer side, I tend to get bored with game worlds where nothing bad can happen. I like an amount of unpredictability or danger. I don't always go out of my way to make bad things happen, but it's not much of a "game" for me if there's no risk. For instance, one of my craziest TS3 memories was a meteor striking the prom. Or there was the gift giving party that ended in a house fire. I remember the laugh I got when a robber showed up in TS3 and stole my sim's toilet paper because there was nothing else to take and then on top of that I got the "hey you're hot, I'd like to get to know you" attraction message as she's running off and my sim's calling the police. :lol:
So, TS4 really doesn't hit my playstyle buttons. For me personally (and I know everyone doesn't feel this way) I find it's lacking depth. My Explorer side likes to dig deep into games and discover secrets and learn systems, but with TS4 I feel like there's not a lot for me to dig into. When I tried to dig below the surface it was like trying to fish in a rain puddle. It's pretty backdrops, and cute animations, but it doesn't feel like there's much going on at a deeper level. And it fails my Killer side too because I feel like the danger and unpredictability is severely dampened. So, I've tried the game several times and it just doesn't click with me the way the older games did.
