I was so excited by the announcement, I even began planning a new pc build so I could play but something kept holding me back from committing to pre-order LBY, this thread helped me realise what it was; it's the lack of whimsy! Whatever the flaws (and there are a multitude) of the sims series it's the whimsy that keeps drawing me back in (as far as up to Sims 3 at least), I like the non-naturals, I like being able to take a trip through a magic wardrobe or a time machine or even accessing an inter-dimensional portal through some bizarre dance gyroscope machine. The Sims games are more than just a life simulator, they are fertilizers of fantasy, fuel for the imagination and that's what I love about them. Someone said that LBY is an in-depth life simulator and I am sure that there are a lot of people that will love that but it's not for me I get enough life management just by living. I will keep an eye on the news about LBY and I wish them every success but I am going to pass for now.
I just wish there was an appealing replacement for when TS3 is no longer playable.

My theory is that the supernatural/whimsy will come as DLC. I think they are focusing on building a firm foundation first.
