Typical...

:joy:

I would have liked to choose the 'Other' option.
I don't need a 'Remake' of any of the games, but definitely a Remaster of TS1,2 and possibly 3 so they're bug fixed and compatible with newer systems.

TS4 feels too current for a Remaster or Remake. Although it probably needs a Remake.

Sure, except what is the difference between "angry poop" and the regular kind? Nadda...

Most of the emotions are just a different option on the pie menu that does the same thing as another option that the emotion option replaced. I'd be more into emotions if they actually did something different and had a reason for me to want my sim in that "mood".

TS3 and TS2 made a lot more sense (IMO) with how this system was handled. Sim's moods were based more on life events and their own personal traits. TS4 does have that to a lesser degree but the bulk of their mood comes from the objects around them, and again, there's not that much difference between an "inspired" sim or a "focused" sim or an "angry" sim. :/

Not really.

Remake is making a completely new version of the same game. Which wouldn't really make much sense, since it's a franchise, but one could argue that Sims 4 is a 'remake' of its predecessors.

Remaster is cleaning up the graphics of a game etc. and porting it to newer systems.

@Cavapoo_King Ah, okay. I haven't noticed different interactions based on emotion, just different interactions that change the emotion (brisk or thoughtful shower).

@Camkat TS2 is my favourite for "emotions" so far. Your sim has a wish / whim and if you complete it, he or she feels happier. Become happy enough and your feel platinum. Not even poor needs can affect platinum ?

Sort of. Although I understand Remake is also considered a huge overhaul of an old game. Mafia, for example. I believe the creators will be using the same storyline and missions etc. but overhauling gameplay and graphics.

I guess it isn't that easy to define. I would consider Two Point Hospital to be a better graphic update to Theme Hospital, but others consider that a Remake.

Meh, the question is open - state ur requirements ??

If TS2 looked like TS4, then I would still be playing it now.

I would remake sims 3 and add all the stuff i loved from both ts2 and ts4 if they took my opinion, plus make it smoother and update the graphics! The worlds/objects still look nice but the sims themselves need an upgrade. Sims 4 is sorta new, it does not need a remake and it is doing just fine, imo. What issues i currently have with it could probably be fixed.

The only thing I really disliked about 3 was how the Sims looked. I would have much preferred Sims 2 graphics.

Color wheel or full CaSt, time passing per household instead of globally, better npc control options, more free will on/off options, layered clothing plus bags, less weight to positive moddlets (or more to negative ones), fully swimable bodies of water everywhere... basically EA should just take a look at my mods folder and MCC settings and work these in ;)

Agreed. ??

Interesting. I actually prefer the time passing globally, despite the fact I keep aging set to active household only. Once I've got the hang of things, my intention is to play each household for a "year" (all 4 seasons) moving on once NYE is over.

I agree about the swimming. I understand that Sulani and DU are the only swimming areas ?
