Hopefully this makes sense and the thread turns out well :lol: Make an assumption/opinion/statement about the games across the franchise. The next user says agree or disagree and explains why they feel that way. Then you make another statement yourself. Example:User1: Sims 1 has the best soundtrack.User2: disagree! Sims 4 soundtrack is the best! Its more my type. Sims 4 has the best CAS.User 3: disagree! TS1 is even better. Can even upload your own image! TS3 has the best pets.Etc.Rules: you must say agree or disagree and provide a brief explanation. Keep it civil! And leave a true/false statement.

I will start:Sims 4 players prioritize freedom over challenge.Agree or disagree?

Agree. I'm mostly assuming that you mean gameplay freedom and challenge (as opposed to say Build mode, where there is less freedom in TS4 than in previous games -- not being able to edit or create worlds, for example).I think some TS4 players value freedom over challenge because I've read a lot of posts here on the forums where people like that there are not Wants/Fears, Attraction systems, lasting consequences, etc. in the game. All of these systems would, in previous games, create challenges for Sims and for players. For example, an Attraction system meant interacting with Sims and their opinions on attraction with regards to other Sims. If Sims were not attracted to another Sim that a player had in mind as a pairing, then it becomes more difficult to get these two Sims together because the challenge of the Attraction system has to be overcome. This is not to say that it is actually very difficult to get two Sims who aren't attracted to one another together, and it's not to say that these two Sims will never end up together. It just takes some work to get them to the point of wanting to be together. These players don't want to have to go through the bother of working through all of that. Not having the Attractive system removes the challenge and gives them the freedom to do whatever they want without the challenge. They do not want the game to challenge them by telling them that what they're doing is wrong, because in their minds, they decide what is right or wrong. TS4 does not have many systems in place that exhibit consequences, so this works for them.There should be more options for tattoos and piercings in CAS. Agree or Disagree?

Agree!i agree because i wear hearing aids in real life and it would be cool for a sim to have that too. Even add the hearing aid to elders who may need it. The sims 2 is the best in the franchise.

I agree, the Sims 2 is my favorite of the franchise. Babies being objects don't qualify them as a real life stage. Agree or disagree?

Agree. I prefer smaller but different worlds available for travelling all the time.Sims fighting and instantly being happy right after the fight takes away part of how life really is.

Agree or Disagree? Assumptions /opinions across the franchise.

Agree. Totally 100% agree! I feel like a a good chunk of the player base would like a little more non-childish humor and gameplay. At least for me, I don't want gore, violence, and graphic woohoo'ing or stuff like that. But, bring back the cheeky humor and make it actually reflect it's "Teen" rating rather than the E-Everyone rating.

In TS4 only sims from your neighborhood should spawn as walk-bys and as venue guests, not sims from every world.

Agree or Disagree?

Agree. Actually i use a mod to do that exactly. It makes neighbourhoods more immersive. And it makes me more avid to travel so that i can meet different sims.

Agree or disagree?
More traits should be tweaked to make sims act more accordingly.

Agree, traits do not steer your Sim's personality nor do they make that big of an impact in the game. This should be fixed by the next game (since it's obviously not going to be in this one).

Selling content in the form of three (no, wait, four!) different kinds of packs should be shot and buried. As I understand it, instead of one large team working on a big pack for the game, Maxis currently has an EP team, a GP team, and a SP team. (correct if wrong, please) The series should return to EPs only loaded with the same amount of content as numerous EPs did in previous titles. Agree or disagree?

Agree. EPs and GPs only is what id say.

The next sim game should have an open neighborhood, not open world. Agree or disagree?

Agree, but I also think there should be settings which give you the option to have open neighborhoods or just one lot depending on what your computer can handle.

Agree or disagree? We should be able to create and save outfits in CAS and share them on the gallery.

Agreed.

The sims games should have life state toggles across all dlc.

I disagree. If we ever get cars, all I see is loading screens and rabbit holes. Time for work? Sim gets into car and rabbit hole. Time to teach your teen to drive? They get into the car and rabbit hole. Time for a family trip to Sulani? Everyone in the car and then loading screen. You dont actually get to see them drive around and dont think you'll actually get to control the driving. If that's supposed to be fun I just dont see it.

Agree or disagree? Sims having emotions should be a staple gameplay feature in future sims titles.

Agree, no doubt!

Disagree. I liked traits without emotions much more. At least i don't loke it how they did it this time... there are very few emotions driving autonomy, instead of traits. But i believe that devs are working on revaluing traits to overcome emotions in some situations and that might work...

Agree or disagree? It would be cool to have the option of playing our sim's kids at school.

Agree. I would love to follow my Sims' kids to school. I might even get them up a grade or two that way. I keep forgetting their homework at present.

Agree or disagree? I would like the SimGurus to play with all the packs sometimes when introducing new packs and kits. It will show their faith in the game and help us Simmers with most or all of the packs to see the new options we would get too, other than the Base Game ones plus only the new one.

Agree 1000%! I personally feel like that is part of the problem, when they playtest a new feature, they are only using the basegame to make sure it functions correctly, but the problem is a good portion of the fanbase doesn't have "just" the basegame, most simmers have bought some DLC and therein lies the problem. Just because object/function A works with the basegame, doesn't mean that ObjectFunction A doesn't break Object/Function B, C, or D (or all of them) from other packs when used together.

Agree or Disagree: Personal individual computer specs should be taken into account for TS4, so that features/functions are not limited to every single person just to make the game more stable for those low-end computer users. There should be better CPU/ GPU settings for those with higher end rigs able to handle ultra, other than just the "uncompressed" textures and the amount of lots you can view.
