Build mode is HUMBLING
Ok so aside from all the many, many (many) technical issues - UI scaling, crashing, disappearing household members etc - my biggest take away from this weekend is how limiting build mode and CAS really were in TS1&2.
Trying to bulldoze a lot to start from scratch is a MISSION and having to remember to space all the furniture far apart... and at right-angles only 😅 and the "fat" sims body type and skin tones in TS2 are just... oh lord how times change! And another thing - camera angles!!!
Don't get me wrong, I'm enjoying it a lot, but I am now very aware of how spoilt we are with the new CAS and Build Modes in TS4. It's a wonderful trip down memory lane (I was 10 when TS1 came out) but at the same time I am really glad the newer games have put such effort into the UI and into making the game so inclusive.
Anyone else's fond memories being challenged by the limited features or just me?
