Why I won't be buying any expansion packs

I too want all of the things you've been wanting. And, I also believe that none of those things are going to ever happen in TS4. Heck, I don't even know if it will happen in the next iteration either. The restrictions that TS4 imposes seriously blocks my creativity.

I have given up being frustrated by it tho, because all that does is irritate me even more. I just play differently than I do with the older versions.

I do really like some things that they did with TS4, but I also miss a lot of the creative aspects from the old games, but then when I go back and play the older games, I end up missing the things about TS4 that I do like so I pretty much just stick with it and make the best of it until a new version comes out that hopefully isn't so restricting.

I think/wish that making multi-purpose lots will be a reality before sims 4 ends...

For the rest, either it's not that relevant to me or i don't think that would be posible to implement in the game by now...

But i feel your pain and understand perfectly your position: adding more content won't fix core issues!

In my experience, i have been able to fix with mods the issues that i have with sims 4. So i think that for people that can do the same as me, the game really gets much more complete and fun with more content.

Hi there, quick heads-up: I moved this thread to the Game Feedback section. :)

That was such an inspiring post... Maybe that was not it's main intention, but that really did inspire me.

Any chance the feedback could actually be addressed by fixing these, though? :disappointed:

Thanks, happy to hear it.
