    It's no secret that The Sims 4 has had... a bit of a rocky history. With a rough launch and an even rougher reception, followed by years of heavily criticized expansion pack releases and accusations of the series decline in quality, it begs the question... how did a franchise that was once on top of the world get to this point?! Well, today let's cover the dramatic story of the Sims 4- from it's deeply troubled development, to it's buggy launch, to the many dramas, controversies, and issues that have surrounded it since it's inception.

      I don't think the Sims 5 will ever be released. EA doesn't have a good track record of supporting games for super long, especially the ones they published more recently. The fact that they have not tried to make a new Sims game in the last 9 YEARS while SimCity 2013 (RIP SimCity series) is no longer maintained/supported should really say something. It is kind of like GTA 5 in this regard, but made and maintained by a far worse company. I think they would probably support Sims 4 to maybe around 2025 or 2026 and then cut their losses after they milked the game to death

    This comment will be unread but well
    I was part of the beta testers for the Sims 4 before its release. I was absolutely shocked by the disappearance of open worlds, shops, cars, insects, pools, toddlers, ghosts, playable jobs and much more as we players expected "rabbit holes" from the Sims 3 to go extinct in the Sims 4. With other testers, we warned EA about the cruel lack of content in the game, and they basically responded that "they had to make sacrifices to implement the complex system of emotions" and that they will never change anything before release.
    When the game released they compensated the lack of content by paying every influencer on Earth to play their damn game and say it's amazing.
    They still got roasted by the community and had to kneel to add pools, ghosts and toddlers for free, but damn.
    I am very worried about what the Sims 5 will be.

      I also play tested Sims 4. I don't recall them explicitly telling my group that they wouldn't change anything for release. I was so disappointed when I realized that all of the feedback we had given them went unaddressed... and how it clear it was that they would keep doubling down on having us pay more for less. I honestly felt back then that the sims in Sims 3 were more complex and interesting than the ones with the new emotions.
      I have not played The Sims 4 since that playtest - there was something about sitting in the sessions and hearing other players give them direct feedback (and being told that they would listen) and having it go unaddressed that didn't sit right with me.

    • @doctorgrubious7725
      @doctorgrubious7725 Před 8 měsíci +99

      emotions aren't even complex, anyone who knows jack about how games handle that knows that it's a lie,
      for example, Project Zomboid, it looks like the sims 1 and honestly, probably could be modded into it, but it has an emotion system, albeit not as big as sims 4, literally its just bars that fill up when you do or don't do shit, if you select the smoking trait and don't smoke, the stress bar goes up, if you kill zombies, the stress bar goes down, if you run, the tired and hunger bars go up, and they pop up and tell you that you need to deal with them
      sims 4 handles it so much differently, your characters don't even have these bars, they have + or - they get from activities, all it is, is "Did sim watch tv that wasn't kids? if yes, +2 happy, else, +2 boredom", it's such an easy system

      ​@@doctorgrubious7725 I always laugh when people talk about how complex the Sims 4 AI is. I've been programming professionally and as a hobby for over 10 years, I'm not an expert at AI but I've done enough programming to know how difficult it would be to make something like the Sims 4 AI, and I'm not seeing what's so complex about it, things seem more random than actually complex, and the emotions don't seem like anything special. It's not that what they have is bad just not enough to act like it's some new groundbreaking system, it's a good foundation for sure.
      What killed it for me was the lack of open world, I think the ability to have deep immersion into the 'world' is a big part for a lot of people. I can almost guarantee you if they said we have to reduce the quality in graphics by 20-30%, but we can have open worlds without major performance issues, people would go for it and after a while wouldn't even notice the difference in graphics

  • @drewcification
    @drewcification Před 8 měsíci +877

    My favorite was the excuse for no color wheel being performance.
    As someone who knows quite a bit about how game development actually works, i can tell you that changing the color of an object is quite literally one of the easiest things your GPU can do. The way they did it, using unique textures for each swatch, is actually less performant since you need to stream in and out those textures, and store them in memory especially if you have multiple objects with different swatches. This was simply done out of either laziness or simply to save server resources on the multiplayer game. (I dont know how it can be lazyness though, its actually about 2 lines of shader code). Its only (slightly) less efficient for networking, since instead of sending 4 color values, youre just sending which swatch number youre using. This is absolutely the reason.

      I'm guessing a time thing. It's much faster to recolor a texture in photoshop than make a coloring system in game. Each material needs a mask texture for the different parts that need to change colors and that could potential take a lot of time to make all those.
      I mean they have the resources, they should have done it, but that would be my guess in why they cheeped out on it.

    • @ember9361
      @ember9361 Před 6 měsíci +28

      @@Mctittles it was actually because sims 4 was originally meant to be online only. Think the mobile game that looks the exact same, but on PC. So colour palettes were hard coded in, because they intended to sell swatches. Since they just changed it into a single player game last minute, they couldn't switch back to a colour wheel.
      Why they don't do the HUE bar on everything we have now, beats me tho.

    • @tochka832
      @tochka832 Před 5 měsíci +5

      nerd talk, but Sims 3 did have separate textures for different parts of the mesh as well, and if anything, it had up to 4 of them, which would facilitate the need for separate draw calls or passing auxiliary attributes to distinguish which polygons used which textures or dynamic texture atlasing and uv assignments, which is likely how it's done if i would guess. uniform color is cheap, but multiplication is still per fragment and is more, compared to baked textures, unless the swapping overhead/inability to batch overweights it. I actually have no idea how they managed to pull off so many active textures at the same time without tanking the performance to the ground in both games, they seem to only require Direct3D 9, which is insanely old and limiting. would like somebody to poke them with renderdoc to know it all lol

    I know I'm late, but my biggest gripe with Sims 4 is that making sims is great, building a house is even better. But after that I'll play for maybe 15 minutes and get bored because there's nothing to do. Despite what they said on release the sims have no personality, nothing ever affects anything, mood is completely irrelevant, and they even turned off wants by default. There is a complete lack of content after the build stage. And the amount of content you get in things like stuff packs really makes me wonder how many people are really working on Sims 4. Because let's be honest - things like 25 objects in a stuff pack, many of which don't even have any animations or interactions like windows or lamps or general decor items, shouldn't take more than a month to make for like 5 people max. Especially when you consider that many items nowadays are just covert recolours or resizes of items that already exist.

I was restricted to three worlds, barebones gameplay, and..a lack of actual things to do. My sims lived samey, lame lives and even with my vivid imagination, I lost interest within an hour. I even caved and bought a pack, which I quickly regretted because the features it added were very minuscule!

      Yeah, and it was honestly more realistic that way. I'm a ts3 player too (pretty much exclusively, but love ts1, too).
      Like, say your Sim has been flirting up somebody, needs are all met, they've just had their favorite food, and they've listened to their favorite music. Those kinds of things would, irl, make someone feel maybe a bit flirty, confident, happy, etc, or overall just be in a "good mood," as described in ts3. The mood bar actually leaves room for _more vast emotions_ because they're not defined by the 'heavier moodlets,' just by how many are negative or positive and by how much.
      I hate that ts4 is like, "you've flirted with someone so you get like 5 flirty moodlets, but your sister that just died only gave you one sad moodlet so it doesn't outweigh your flirty moodlets rn and so your emotion is just "flirty" or goodness forbid "very flirty.""

    OMG thank you for putting the "sanatized" feeling into words! I was always feeling like Sims 4 was missing so much egde. I just couldn't articulate it. One example: In Sims 2 I had a cowplant as a university student. And it would eat my teachers without me noticing until I checked my grades and realised they had dropped because of this. And it ate my two roomates next. I brought my roommates back from the dead but they ended up being zombies instead of real Sims. And they kept destroying everything. I kicked them out and put them in their own family and I played a long time with them. It was fun. But something like this would never happen in Sims 4.
    I also loved building own apartment lots and things like that, but that doesn't work in Sims 4. You can't even make a community place with more than one function. I used to build malls with shops and restaurants and pools and things for fitness (mainly because I didn't want to travel to many different lots, so I wanted to have everything in one place). This doesn't work in Sims 4 either. You can't have a Spa and a Restaurant on the same lot, it won't work. And you can't open your own store at your home anymore either, another thing I used to do in Sims 2.
    I can mainly compare Sims 4 to Sims 2 because I didn't have a good laptop when Sims 3 came around and only was able to actually play the game again with Sims 4. Sims 2 will always have a special place in my heart, I recently started playing it again and while the graphics aren't as pretty as Sims 4, it's still my favourite of the installments. (Together with Medieval tbh, that spinoff was wild and so much fun).

      ​​@@BrightWulphI always think it's a mistake to blame the audience for these sorts of things. The actual reason why this happens is that with big companies and big games, board members have more influence than game designers, and the board members want to maximise mass market appeal to maximise profits. That means weird, quirky elements will be taken off the menu since they don't appeal to common sensibilities across cultures globally. Every time a franchise aims for global appeal, they become sanitised. It's because they need to have cross cultural appeal, not because they're trying trying appeal to PC culture.

      maybe i’m just used to it but seasons is one of those packs i never minded. sure, it’d be nice to have weather in the base game but the Sims 3 is a perfect example of how you can add so much more content with an expansion pack dedicated solely to seasons. if weather was included in base game they wouldn’t include festivals/holidays so you’d likely have to buy dlc for the full “seasons” experience anyways lol. it’s EA after all😭

    I started playing the Sims 4 a few days ago. I used to play Sims 2 & 3 a lot but Sims 4 scared me away with those dozens of packs and whatever. Anyways, here are some things I noticed:
    1. This game is sooo easy. I remember having a household with four adults in Sims 1 and oh my, I had to juggle all their need paying close attention.
    Here? Two adults and I can relentlessly force them to do my bidding for HOURS before I have to let to go to the bathroom and the kitchen real quick before they resume working on their computer etc. Especially the social need is so easy to fix back up after they have been alone for a while. It takes forever to go down.
    2. The first Sim I created lived right next to the second household. Like their house was right next to mine, I could even see it. But whenever I wanted to go over there...loading screen. Are you kidding me? In reality I could even throw a stone from my window against theirs and here I need a loading screen to say hello? In Sims 3 I spontaneously rode my bike to the city to go shopping constantly and now I need a loading screen to visit my direct neighbour?!
    3. Friendships seem unbreakable. Once someone is your friend their friendship bar seems to never go down even when I don't get in touch. Other games where way stricter where I had to make an effort to remain friends with them.
    4. I was having fun but also being underwhelmed at the same time? It was bizarre. I noticed a ton of tiny little thins that bothered me. A few examples: No burglars? Whenever I buy a fire alarm, I also buy a security system. Here? Nothing. No cars, no bikes? Seriously? When I go to work I won't get picked up, I just leave the house and disappear from the spot? My pregnant Sim was barely an inconvenience. Like she started to walk funny but nothing else changed, not even her mood. Speaking of moods:
    During their wedding they were both CONCENTRATING INTENSELY. Like maybe it was because I didn't want to bother with an actual ceremony and spontaneously did it in their living room but they were super focused like they were trying to find a cure for cancer while they were getting MARRIED. what on earth is this emotions system doing? The emotions are hardly appropriate and barely affecting whatever I am doing. I have 16h in this game and the emotions don't even faze me anymore, I can effortlessly ignore them. Feeling flirty after taking a shower? Who are you even? I myself feel refreshed coming out of the bathroom but my Sims want to flirt afterwards. Sure, whatever floats your boat.

    • @ceanaofthecrags
      @ceanaofthecrags Před 2 měsíci +3

      What I've noticed is that many people cheat themselves money, then say how easy the game is. I find it annoying to have to talk and talk and talk to get the social needs fulfilled. I don't have that in real-life, but I'm autistic. The entertainment one is annoying, too. The fact that the sim goes to work and comes home stressed EVERY SINGLE DAY makes the Sims 4 shitty for me. Or your sim will be burnt out and have to either engage in any creative activity if they are doing anything remotely logical, and vice versa.
      There are bikes in the game. Your sim will ride them. You ahve to buy them one. I haven't tried out the modded cars yet. There are also the boats in the Island world.
      Still, this game is crap compared to the Sims 3, which doesn't boot anymore for my Win 10. I need to pull out my Win 8 laptop, where I could still play Medieval Sims, and see if the Sims 3 works on it.
      And yes. The emotions in Sims 4 is like your sim belongs in a mental institution. Someone turned the screw too tight.

      @lisamaria9938 Před 2 měsíci +1

      @@ceanaofthecrags Yeah, I agree. Cheating for money and then saying it's too easy doesn't make any sense which is why I don't do it. But here I was making a lot of money in no time so there never would have been a need for it either.
      Funny enough I didn't have to talk that much to get the Social up but then again...my one friend was trying to visit me almost daily. What's up with that? I remember from older games that you had to make an effort to stay in touch and here all I have to do is wait?
      Yeah, I tend to feel stressed after work sometimes too. But not every day. I also noticed that here. And you're right, these Sims either want entertainment all the freaking time while I just want them to gain a logic point or they turn into robots and do whatever I want forever. That seemed more balanced in older titles.
      Okay, so there are bikes. Must have missed them somehow, thanks for clearing that up. But since I beam myself to work I don't have to buy one. In Sims 3 I always bought a bike first to get everywhere.
      A friend of mine keeps telling me how much fun it is and I am happy for her. But I didn't feel it. This game is shallow and lifeless (ironic) compared to previous titles. And the emotions system drives me up the wall. So unrealistic and poorly done.
      Wait, the game doesn't boot anymore for your Windows 10? My laptop also has the current Windows installed. Don't tell me I can't play the old games anymore, I still have all my physical editions and really looking forward to installing them to play a good Sims game. O.o

      @@lisamaria9938 I was just playing in the Sims 2 and the Sims 3 yesterday and today. The amount of money you earn painting is not worth it compared to Sims 4, but the daily pay from the starting level of the jobs is outrageously higher than in the Sims 4. Therefore, I still cannot agree with you on that point. As to the skills, yes, those are insanely easy to learn, and the relationships are easier now. It used to be that I could have my sim read in the Sims 2 for about 8 hours and hit level 5 in a skill, and just chat and chat for a while in Sims 3 and already build-up an easy relationship.
      We are very nostalgic about the old sims games, and critical about the Sims 4, but because the Sims 4 really does deserve criticism. Going back and playing the Sims 2 and 3, there is a lot to criticize, too. I see pluses and minuses for each game.

The game was created with player control in mind and focused way less on npc behavior than other games in the franchise. This is why getting sims that arnt in your household to do anything is a chore at any event. The game just was not designed with with that element in mind so the more it has to actually work to make multiple npcs do something, the game just breaks.

    Hi, I’m a user who started playing TS4 after it became free! I liked the base game a lot for the first couple months, enjoying the autonomy of my Sims and their goofy lifestyle more than anything. I had not grown up playing other Sims games and was quite impressed with it at first. I was introduced to the cracks for the game through my sister, which made me wonder what made the DLC good enough to pirate. I was big into custom content and that tied me over until they released Growing Together, which made me realize just how expensive the DLC packs were. I’ve since purchased both Growing Together and the horse pack, and I do regret it because of how broken and disappointing they are. Growing Together’s brand new milestones and some life features were broken right off the bat, causing some young sims to be unable to progress in development and some to completely change appearance after a loose tooth falls out. It really feels like EA is a money hungry company at this point

October last year, I saw it was free, and was excited to get my grubby little custom character loving hands on it. My reaction was that it honestly felt kind if bare and boring. There was nothing to draw me in, and with most of the stuff that I thought was cool when I watched youtubers play The Sims 3&4 locked behind pretty hefty paywalls, I ended up dropping it after a few weeks. In my kind of beginner opinion, if the base game was that simple the whole time, it should’ve been free a lot sooner.

    One of the big scandals in the Sims community was the terrible, terrible EA builds. I remember Strangerville having houses with completely empty rooms and a house with a nonfunctional kitchen (because the counters were blocked by a fruit bowl), Get Famous having a mansion with no toilets in any of the bathrooms, and Realm of Magic having a house with a staircase that led to a blank wall instead of a door. Now that they've started getting Sims community members to do the builds it has been a massive improvement and I'm glad that they took in people's feedback on those builds, but it was dark days for a while there.

    • @kat8559

      Honestly as much as i get the criticism of the houses being bad (they were terrible), i actually want the houses to be bad so that i can renovate, remodel, or tear down on a whim. The houses in mt komorebi are TOO good. There's not much i can do to make them better architecturally, and are often more creative than i could build so i don't want to tear them down. I think it comes down to what your gameplay style is, bc i don't actually play the game, i just use bb and cas, so i don't need/want my prebuilt houses to be pretty. Whereas, i see how pretty houses would be needed/wanted by ppl who just want pretty houses, don't use bb, or use bb differently than i do. The best solution i can think of having a mix of EA builds and simmer builds in each world

    I feel like EA's obsession with making an online Sims game is based on a fundamental misunderstanding of why people play the Sims. For me personally, at least, I play the Sims when I DON'T want to actually interact with people, but still want to fill my "social" gauge, in Sims terms. Having an online version of the game fully ruins the point - when your gameplay is fundamentally based on social simulations, and you remove the simulation part, of course all you have left is a glorified chatroom. What's the point?

    So I actually worked on Sims 4 as QA for about a year. This was around when Restaurants, Apartments/City life, and Pets were being worked on(though Pets was a secret even in the team at this point, very early in dev). If your restaurant works because the chef basically turns into a piece of the furniture rather than being an actual Sim, hey, that was me, I found the bug that made that necessary.
    Anyway, we got to meet the devs at one point, two of them came to talk to us at where we worked. They got a bunch of us in a room and we'd get to talk to them in small groups. When we got in there(maybe halfway through the line, we had over a hundred staff), they just looked _tired_. We talked a bit, and a question came up about the engine. We'd known for a while that they had been forced to use a new engine for Sims 4(which is where most of the massive problems with the game actually originate from) rather than iterate on the one that they'd been using so well for Sims 3. And one of the devs sat up like he was going to answer, but their 'company representative' who was with them just snapped over to look at him, and he slowly settled back down again while the other dev simply said 'We thought it was a good idea'. Never felt more sorry for someone.

      So in short, EA as a company is a disaster to work for. What else is new.
      My partner, who is a programmer for a major EU company, says the same thing. Higher ups think they know better and force everybody to use methods that are impractical, cause more work and stress, or are just downright moronic. Some aspects seem so modern, yet in other ways their ways, views and opinions are outdated or mediocre at best. He says so many amazing and talented individuals aren't allowed to grow or flourish, their talents going to waste for years. Many of his coworkers ended up leaving for better and bigger things that won't restrain them anymore, and he's going to do the same in a few months.
      Mini rant over lol, companies need to realize the knowledge and ideas of those "lower" are generally the freshest ones. Expand the team, pull members from all sorts of different levels, ages, skills and talents to avoid bias. That's what a successful company is in my books.

My main issue with it is that after completing the story, nothing really happens. It doesn’t matter which faction you choose to work for, there are no actual repercussions. So what even is the point of making me choose and completing the storyline? The “aliens” being masks has also been a huge letdown. Like, actual aliens were already in the game, how hard could it be to add a couple more occults to CAS? Baatu could have been a really cool world to live in, but they just wasted it.

      @@sarahhollings7623 fr Sims3 felt big even before expansions. I think sims3's biggest flaw in later years was lack of expansion and city integration. For example if you've got a supernatural character but you live in any world that isn't the supernatural town, there's basically no other supernaturals in existence. Same with the pets expansion. If you live in the pet town everyone has one, there's pet stuff to do everywhere. If you live in any other town there's just wild pets and nobody else actually has pets, it's just you. Most expansions just didn't integrate well, which made it a real bummer that I'd have to create a new household to enjoy the content I purchased.

    As someone who grew up playing Sims 1 and later Sims 2, I was never a big fan of Sims 3. It ran TERRIBLY on my computer and it seems to still have that issue to this day, even on high end systems. So I don't have a lot of playtime in Sims 3 for that reason and don't have nostalgia for it either, and think getting rid of the open world was a good thing in that sense. Sims 4 was a great upgrade visually in my opinion, but if you compare it to the Sims 2, the animations etc. are all underwhelming. Playing 'Live' mode in the Sims 4 is a pain in the butt, but I do love the Sims 4 'Build' mode - when that isn't buggy, lol. TLDR you play Sims 4 to build not to play with sims, imo (which isn't a good thing, it's supposed to be a life sim). The best one for me personally is the Sims 2.

    I love hearing about your experience with the sims vs my own as I was a kid/tween when the first one came out. I bought the base game and 3 expansions with my 12th birthday money. I got really into the second one. Back then you could share the packs as long as you owned at least one pack, whichever one you installed last would be the one you needed the CD to use to play so me and my friends all shared our packs so we didn't have to buy them all. By the time the third one came out I was a young adult and I had no extra money, my computer could barely run it, I couldn't afford any expansion packs so I barely touched it and always went back to The Sims 2. I basically jumped from 2-4 I never got to fully enjoy the glory of 3.

    I picked up The Sims Makin Magic as a 6 year old in 2005 not knowing it was an expansion pack and subsequently couldn't play it, though I was mesmerised by the box art, the magician, fairy, gnome, mummy, snake charmer, everything magical and whimsical. Then we bought The Sims 2 and I played it to bits (despite my first interaction with the Sims 1 not knowing there were expansion packs for The Sims 2, my family wasn't big on technology or gaming) and I have the fondest memories for that game and the endless possibilities it seemed to offer (my niece was practicing building houses because she wanted to become an architect). From The Sims 3 onward I started collecting more and more expansion packs (though no stuff packs). I didn't like 3 at first, but eventually warmed up to it and still have fond memories of that as well, especially World Adventures, Generations and Supernatural. The Sims 4 is really weird, because I was enamoured by Create a Sim and Build mode, but beyond that I have almost no fond memories of the game (even after 10 years). It constantly carries the promise that you can do anything (and I do fantasize about what I could do), but in the end I just spent hundreds of euros buying expansion packs, only to play the game for short amounts of times and not connecting to it like I did with The Sims 2 and 3. Part of it is probably my own life's background, my mental state and the fact that I've grown up, but The Sims 4 remains to me a pretty thing with no grit or vision, an empty shell of promise. As an adult I would much rather fantasize about and come up with my own ideal Sims game than actually playing the real thing, even though I would never actually release a game.

    Also, to add to the list of drama:

    -The NAPs were also broken where you could have every action plan active at once regardless of voting
    -The cakes in Wedding Stories spoiled because they were essentially kept in an inventory until the wedding.
    -The social menu is absolutely ridiculously bloated with interactions like Ask If Mermaid that are essentially useless
    -The packs all included mood buffs that overpowered any other moodlet and often were inconsequential things (e.g.the floor being clean)
    -Skintones in the update were extremely broken as mentioned and are still very broken. The cool and neutral skintones would often produce kids with warm skintones or would be outside the parents shade range.
    -In the NEW expac, the losing a tooth moodlet/function would make sims faces change when they age up by making the nose a lot smaller and move it up the face til they look like the Whovillians

      people seem to forget that while sims 3 had an open world, it was a mistake and just too much even now, that's why to this day it doesn't even run well on the best computers. wanting this to continue in sims 4 is ridiculous. i'm glad we don't have that anymore and the neighbourhoods are enough, there's no need for an open world. that's why you can see the new games being developed, the paralives one, ''sims 5'' etc. they all look the same but also different from the traditional sims. they seem to have an open world but the characters look like crap. the sims 2 and 4 are similar because you're focused on 1 lot and on your sims, not the whole world. if you have an open world like sims 3 then you're able to see more but your sims look like potatoes. i'd rather be able to create a nice sim and a nice house than be able to see every tree in town and play zoomed out all the time. you can't have it all at once. and the loading screens in sims 4 aren't even bad at all. sims 4 is a very light game and it's great that it's made to be like that. not that heavy giant rock that sims 3 was. you're not seeing the entire city in real life either, your real life loading screen is having to actually walk or travel somewhere lol.

    I grew up with Sims 1 and 2, and played a fair bit of Sims 3, but when the Sim City reboot bombed I didn't bother going for Sims 4. Once it went free-to-play I gave it a shot, I realized that the 'me' playing Sims now, versus the 'me' playing Sims back in 2004, are no longer the same person. Wouldn't say my love for simulation games is gone, but it feels lot emptier playing it now. I knew it the moment I watched my Sim spend hours on his computer just like I literally am, and the irony was too intense.

      yup. I can still remember the disappointment of opening the shiny new game to a 2D all white map, with no pools, toddlers, cars, terrain tools and most of basegame jobs. I got bored sooo fast. Especially comparing my first time playing Sims 3 base game! Coming from sims 2 to 3? Awesome! 3 to 4? Not so much.

      I got Sims 4 after the base game became free. What bothered me was the lack of back story for the townies. The social interactions were too easy and my sim, despite having high free will, ended up doing the same things again and again when I left him alone. Having a loading screen to go to a restaurant also bothered me more than I thought it would. I'm now back on Sims 3, I only use Sims 4 to build houses.

      From the ig the sims to Sims 2 to sims 3 made me think that the franchise can only become better. I didn't buy the sims 4 bc I was old enough to not get it as a present and I don't spend a dime on games with my own money. I played it with a friend who had many mods. I thought at first the mods was the og sims 4 and I was like "damn they got bipolar disorder to make it extra hard mode?" They hadn't. I played the fitgirl sims 4 later by myself and was so underwhelmed. But so happy it's the only one I never bought (through my parents the first ones)

    If a new update for a game such as minecraft, or genshin impact where you are given so much new content, was priced the same as a sim expansion, it would be mental - while yes the older games had expansions, its lifespans have been over half the time of the sims 4, the fact the sims 4 has got away with this for almost 10 years is crazy to me

    I grew up playing the original The Sims, had all the expansion packs and whatnot.
    I loved the dark-and-twisted humor it had going on, and I must admit it helped to shape part of my personality.
    It was a great shame when I decided to play The Dims 4 and found a game which is mostly plastic in its personality. So… devoid of what made it special for me.
    Your video really helped me understand what happened in the series. Than you so much

    I just heard how you were wondering about how the Sims being free was for new players, and for me, it was like a door opening for me. I was stuck just watching the sims games and barely continuing playing Sims Moblie, and right now, I haven’t even touched it. But it becoming free has made me invested it learning about the community, getting back into the sims, and it really revitalize my Sims 4 era when I was younger.

      And I think most people would have overlooked the absent window, if it hadn't been the fact that at this point, stuff like this was just a long running issue with EA. With every pack, with every update, it's something, something doesn't work, something wasn't included, something was rushed with poor quality. It's just straight up disrespect at this point.

    If you want an actual good "Sims" makeup palette, the Trixie x Juno palette had a lot of Sims inspiration, even has shades named after bonehilda, the grim reaper, and joy despret (idk if she's canon or junos original creation but she's a sim)

I've been playing since The Sims 1 and it's a huge part of my childhood but it's still just a game. I just don't understand why they keep giving them money if they hate it so much.
