Nightlife is an awesome pack. I just hope Sims 5 manages to include the best of all four versions and kick it up a notch. I just look forward to a time when we can all enjoy and share the same version and be done with all the comparisons and putdowns.

That would be great I have always wished for a big mega game of all of them. They sort of bring comparisons onto themselves don't they? By making statements like these will be the smartest Sims ever, you have never seen emotions like these, no, we never had emotions in the other games, we were just good at selling that fiction, and or this will be a major first, and or we are given all the freedom we need to decide what we want to do, and or these are things we really care about and wanted to put it in a game,( rather than what players had requested) and or it's too hard and or too expensive, when it was just as hard and expensive twenty years ago.

Everything I just said was stated by Maxis so, yeah, I think this comparison in this case one EP against all of TS4 is justified.
Because in 2020 and the fourth iteratioin and twenty years experience and monies, one little EP shouldn't upset TS4, nor make it feel uncomfortable by comparing it to all of TS4 and it's 50 packs and billion dollars and it's nine or ten years of development (3 before release, 6 after).

I could have picked any EP from The Sims or even TS3 to compare to all of TS4, it wouldn't have mattered. But I think NL shows what is done about the thousand little pieces they piecemeal out when we all should know there was just as many time contraints, budget shortages and or whatever back in 1998. And I still assume TS4 will never get a fully fleshed out EP such as NL was at the time. Not because they can't but because they don't want to for whatever reasons, which is probalby the green stuff. No more excuses, it's none of the excuses people continue to give them, it's just about money now.

I could go all the way back to TS1 and compare one EP such as Superstar to all of TS4 and it too would still contain more gameplay and content than all of TS4's piecemeal, wouldn't it.

When a company puts a number on a serial product it means new and improved. Four is supposed to be better than one or two. It doesn't mean wait, but you will need x amount of this over here for it to be as good if not better as one, but yeah, we are new and improved. Or wait, in order for our fourth product to be as good as two you are going to need to buy all these other attachments to make it as good as two, and then ten more years to bring you any new stuff for our product that two didn't have.
