I'm surprised we're so overwhelmingly from the olden days, and so far no-one hails from the full decade of Sims 2-3.
I'll also posit: the Sims 4 has been out now for a hundred years, and has frustrated its users in a range of ways, so people who still play it in 2022 may do so for partly nostalgic reasons.
See, I guess I don’t understand this. Sure, the game is frustrating. But so were the others, just in different ways. I could never create and play the kind of characters I wanted to play in Sims 2. That was frustrating enough that I quit trying. Sims 3 was laggy as heck and the routing problems, while hilariously funny at times, were tremendously aggravating. None of the games have been perfect. If people are only playing this iteration out of nostalgia, I would suggest they have been looking at the past games through rose colored lenses.
What I miss from the early versions is the character development was more fulfilling. Sims 4 is more routine and almost mundane with the same kinds of actions with every character and the same interactions between them. Sims 2 for example had some really funny moments as well as some really serious ones. One of my characters, for example, turned out to be a deadbeat dad and got kicked out after the baby was given up for adoption because he was busy partying instead of providing for the child. Seriously!
My bro had a Sim that was a terrible cook. She invited her neighbors for a cookout and ended up burning everything down instead. She was invited out for dinner by her boyfriend but wouldn't even eat and all she did was cry the whole time.
We don't see that kind of thing occur at that level like that in Sims 4. It's sadly become shallow and blah in some ways unless we force a situation to occur.
actually it sometimes happens i had a female detective she started dinner then went and took a nap.while the food was on the stove a fire started . she got up looked at the fire then went back to her nap in her bedroom it was before firefighters so 20 minutes later she died.
