I love the art style and fantasy realm in this game and downloaded the open beta to try out single player mode. Unfortunately, there’s a problem of compatibility with my graphics card and it won’t launch. Maybe it will be changed by the time they go to full release. I’m also a storyteller and prefer to develop and play my whole world, so it’s not going to scratch the same itch that Sims does. I don’t really want quests in The Sims, and I always lose interest when games focus on grinding for points, etc. What I find missing in TS4 is randomness… not enough unexpected events injected into the game. TS3 had a lot more of those moments to play off of. But, I can’t really blame the devs for that. They basically gave the players what they wanted and nerfed most of the randomness that was in there to start with.
