Happy 23rd Anniversary The Sims!

I started with Sims 1 but it was at the ending by the time I discovered it (Maybe a year left) but I did enjoy it ver much. Sims 2 honestly was my absolute favorite. So much so that the only thing that pushed me to Sims 3 was the open world aspect. The thing I disliked about the Sims 3 was the aesthetics/graphics. Didn't really appeal to me. That is also when I discovered CC because I couldn't tolerate that every sim had the same pie faced look no matter what you did. I really wish we could have a Sims game that truly gave us the ability to create the way Will Wright intended with the old iterations of the Sims. A perfect game would be Sims 2 with Sims 3 open world with Sims 4 3d graphics/aesthetics. I think such a combination (fusion) would really bring together a sims community of older players who loved a certain play style and subsequent versions that appeal to newer generations for it's play style. Sadly I do not see that and I believe it will always be a one or the other. Sadder because the original (Family style) players are real die hards and have continued on (probably, like myself, in hopes that we will get that back someday), the newer players have to much to choose from out there, too many other genre games that capture their fancy, and well, they probably won't remain Sims loyal over the long haul like the OG die hards do/would. I would think EA would really think about that. Financially, who would keep pumping the most money into the series? I don't know. I just wish there could be a conglomeration of all the sims games. Honestly, I'd be perfectly happy with a Sims 4 play style that is open world and a little of the Sims 2 aspects mixed in. As the game stands now (Sims 4), it does not hold my attention for hours, even days like the older games. Mostly I build, and create Sims, if I play it is usually for about an hour if that. It honestly does not hold my attention, and I can go weeks without playing. I am really excited about the newest game pack because hopefully it will give me enough of what I need to play the way I like to spark the sims fire and attraction for me again. I am a family player and Sims 4 feels to much like it's about living and doing individual and not together. Even something as simple as going to a park. they really do nothing together honestly. But I digress, where was I... Oh yeah, I am an OG Sim, lol

PS... PLEASE EA, can I have a pool table for my sports bar, and yeah at this point I am jumping on the R&B music station bandwagon, and really EA it's just weird that at this point we cannot even at least have sims 2 cars. Just saying. and at this point, I won't even question open world, lol
