Ive been playing a lot recently, but losing the motivation to stick with any one family or sim or group of sims long term. The issue is, there's no such thing as the "perfect" sims game and it's becau...

I'm of a different mind set. I don't think it's fair to go back and look at the older games and dis on them because they don't have something a newer game has in it. Such as not being able to visit neighbors in TS2. That is looking backward, when I can appreciate TS2 for getting things TS1 didn't get. Like 'see neighbors' other lots, that was huge deal to me. Being able to leave a lot alone without taking the whole family with your Sim which TS1 couldn't do. See what I mean? I think hindsite can only ruin very good memories of fun times in a previous game when we compare it backwardly to how the games evolved over time. (I will just add here, in TS2 I didn't expect to see my toddler show up in a bar or my Sim child to leave the lot alone.) I might have wished that was possible but so thrilled with what was new I never really considered it.
But removed features or omitted features going forward in time is a different matter and worth griping about as far as my feedback that I give to developers. Such as TS4 not having toddlers.. or so many other things all others had in them. (like pools)
Edited to Add: Such as TS1 had the Sim Creator (separate from game) where we photoskinned our own photos onto Sims. Supplied tool from Maxis and could layer clothes etc. TS2 had Bodyshop and Home Crafter supplied by Maxis.
TS3 had Create A Style (In game) and CAW supplied by Maxis...TS4..nothing supplied by Maxis. Now, that's worth griping about.
