TS4 players like to point out they have the Sims Studio (whatever that is to make cc) however, it's not a Maxis tool to my knowledge. This is the first time ever, Maxis has not provided anything for players to build their own towns/hoods/worlds/custom Sims/and or walls and floors etc. Even TS3 had a way to import your own custom floors into the game.
This is also the very first time Maxis has failed to provide a place (from within the game) to export your Sim machinima for others to watch. It was all possible from within the games in TS1 and TS3 but in TS2 you made your machinima (but Maxis provided a tool to create them) then uploaded to the actual site. Now days you have to do this all outside the game, and upload to Youtube where it may be bumped off due to whatever rule they have now about some nonsensical reason.
Maxis has failed to support creativity they can't control.
And TS4 players like to point out they have the 'gallery' from right in the game...ok, but TS2 players were uploading their builds right to the Exchange right from the game, too. So was TS1 and TS3 if you think about it. lol Nothing new under the sun here at all. Wait, what is new, is less for more.
