And they wonder why people are so upset, angry, and resentful!

If they didn't want to make a "better" version of the previous iterations and wanted to instead go a different direction, then they should have NOT named it TS4. Why not "The Sims Next Generation".

This is a Comparison of Base Games right? Now where is the Category for Base Game Features included in The Sims 4 but not in The Sims 2 or The Sims 3? It does not seem fair as in game development some features are cut in exchange of new content.

This is a much more better comparison to be honest
