    It's truely embarassing how poorly coded TS4 is. The term ''spaghetti coding'' takes on its full meaning.

    Btw when it comes to the game smoothness, the way I took more time to click in TS2 didn't give it justice, it looks less smooth than TS4 but TS2 is actually smoother! Anybody who played TS2 knows how smooth clicking is in it!
    • I'd also like to add that my Sims 4 game is completely vanilla while TS2 is moded (only a disease mod)...and it still performs better 😂

      Your ignorant ass did all this to prove nothing.
      'How poorly coded Sims4 is'. Duh..
      I don't think you are even aware that The Sims4 isn't 'poorly coded'. It was developed to be played online, not off. It was also developed to be multi-player, not single. And, only playable on pc, not console. So yeah, it's coding it's not 'poor'..but developed differently.
      It was actually developed better than it's predecessors...reason the graphics are stronger..again, it was going to be played online...everything needed to be stronger.
      So, what happened you asked? Why isn't it online?
      In 2013, Sim City 5 failed miserably online. Strong server issues caused the game to constantly crash, making it unplayable. It never recovered from this and was shelved.
      Sims4 was set to release soon after in 2014, online. EA/Maxis did not want the same thing to happen to another popular title, so instead of releasing online, they released it as another, offline, single player game.
      Thing is, it was still built on online core mechanics. It was built to be played online....not off..reason it has the issues it has has today.
      Funniest part of all is...
      With all of it's issues, NOT steming from poor development or 'poor coding' but rather being played on the incorrect platform, The Sims4 STILL managed to outsell AND outlast ALL of it's 'better' predecessors...
      Including The Sims2.
      Learn the deeper history of these games before talking smack about them and making crap clickbait titles trying to one up Sims2, while slandering Sims4.
      Just play Sims2 if it's so much 'better'.

      @@SimlikeitHot Even The Sims 2 isn't updated anymore, it is still pretty run well, because Maxis put their heart out through their game before jumping on to The Sims 3 despite they didn't fix half of the bugs and corruption issues, The Sims 4 can run very smoothly, but it will only run better with the damn base game or atleast 20 DLCs, and TS4 DLCs are still pretty broken and shit and you need mods to fix it. The Sims 2 might have it's problems, but Restaurants, Weddings, and so much more were worked and don't need mods to fix, the only thing you can modded on is the corruption issues, and that's it. A game that still being updated and a high demanding game doesn't mean it ran better, The Sims 2 doesn't need updates to run better, because EA might mess that game up with broken featured like they did with TS4, and TS2 doesn't actually need shallow, broken, cashgrabby 70+ packs to prove it's better.

    I remember arguing with someone on the dreaded sims reddit, because they claimed eating takes way too long in The Sims 2. I brought up that my whole Sim families regularly eat meals together and even with all the talking it never takes longer than around 1 in-game hour. Meanwhile in The Sims 4 my single Sim plays musical chairs with his own plate, scratches his face, plays with his phone and just stares into the abyss while smiling like an idiot for solid 4 real-time minutes before he finally finishes his food. Needless to say I was blocked, but it cracked me up. Yes, animations in The Sims 2 are more complex and detailed, which can give the impression of wasting more time. But in reality The Sims 4 is just so laggy and unresponsive it takes even longer to do anything.

    I started playing sims 4 for the first time over Christmas. I was immediately disappointed. Firstly, I hate the ui, I know some people prefer it, but I think Sims 2 and 3 are much better.
    Secondly, there are soo many features in sims 4 that are only available in separate packs, things that were just standard in the base game sims 2 and 3. They have a separate pack just so you can do laundry??? Why on earth would that not be in the base game??
    Sims 4 Cats and Dogs and Sims 2&3 Pets are not even comparable. They literally created a separate Horse pack in Sims 4 to fleece you of your money instead of just making them part of the pet's pack. Not to mention how great it was that your pet could have a full on career in Sims 2 - this was a feature I loved. Pets in Sims 4 are really annoying.
    There are soo many more bugs in Sims 4. The relationships feel extremely shallow, careers are really boring, not having an open world like Sims 3 is a massive downgrade. Fast forwarding through the day when your sims are at work feels like it takes forever in Sims 4. The maids in Sims 4 do hardly any actual work? They literally won't even clean up food left on the counter?
    I mean the list goes on and on. Will end up going back to Sims 2 and 3.

The first time I played it I couldn't even properly build a house because everything was all over the place, I felt like someone broke in my house and messed over all my things, opened the drawers, take everything off the wardrobe etc because I couldn't find anything in it and I hated more than anything else LOL Also the colour is terrible, I am aware that there is a ts2 UI called "clean UI" that tries to replicate the same colour/non texture UI of sims 4 but I think that nothing surpass the blue tone of sims1, 2 and 3

I also hate the thought bubbles - the things that want are usually very lame by comparison to the other sim games, at least with my sims. The old UI's are far superior, I even tried to find a mod to bring back the old UIs but all I found were people trying to make Sims 3 look like Sims 4 🙃

    When I play TS4, if a sim is standing in front of the fridge when another one wants to use it, they just don't use it, and it shows that dreaded thought bubble showing their path is blocked. I'd be fine with them clipping through each other if it I meant I didn't have to micromanage so much lol.

    As a Sims 2 player, the whole move to one side or waiting depends on the action. While stairs is a good example of the AI being smart in other actions the sims will queue drop a bit too fast. One bad area is using a computer. The first sim can be getting up from the chair while the other sim is coming over to use the PC. The sim coming over will foot stomp and drop using the computer from their queue even though the sim using the PC is pushing in the chair. A small amount of idling would have helped here. It's not perfect and there are other areas they could have improved upon like pets but I have played since 2004 and won't be stopping for any new life sim.
    Honestly I think a lot of this is why I don't play Sims 4 but I didn't realize why it annoyed me so much, just that it did. I am too use to Sims 2 fluid game play and seeing it here puts it in perspective.

    I have been a sims player since sims 1. I have all my original disks (1, 2 and 3) , all the packs and expansions, manuals, all my CC neatly organized. I have had nothing but headaches and troubles with EA when their launcher superceeded Origin, spent tens of hours recovering my purchased content. The latest problem was my EA launcher disappeared and no matter what I did, I got the message that the file this points to refers to a program that was moved or does not exist. It disappeared in one day and I did nothing to cause that. The EA exe also shows the same message so I can no longer get into any of my sims 3 or 4 games. At this point, I don't want to go through the hassle of tying to re download the buggy ea ap (since for many this has not been easy if small bits of program are still in computer registry). I think I will just go back to Sims 1 and 2 and maybe try to install sims 3 without EA launcher since I have all the disks including the original sims 3 disk from 2009. I will never buy any more EA content. EVER

    I think the way The Sims 4 is saved is it saves the acction queue, so say your sim is walking to go sit but you hit save first, the game will save the action as already done (if that makes sense) so the sim teleports to sit but doesn't eat. Idk why they did it like that, sometimes (all the time actually) you would load a lot with 10 sims just standing still and the animation of the sim doing something would start after you press play??

    • @demo2823
      @demo2823 Před 4 měsíci

      It's not really the action queue but the routing. In these games they generate an invisible Sim at the goal point with the goal rotation. You can see this if you use testingcheats in Sims 2, shift click on the mailbox and select Enable Routing, a test function that made it into debug mode. A T posing copy of them will appear at the target point, and AI will figure a natural curved path, then they will walk there and snap to the T pose.
      Clearly in Sims 4, they just didn't add a save function for being part of the way through routing. It requires saving some old action (where they used to be) plus the goal spot, route shape and percentage of completion, in order to prevent glitches such as finishing it too fast, changing your curve, or in the case of Sims 4, jumping to the end of your route.

    While Sims 2 and Sims 3 tried to take advantage of the new tech of their times, Sims 4 instead catered to low end devices which may have let a lot more people play Sims 4 but it basically meant that the engine was so limited, causing small dlcs and bad performance.
    It also kept DirectX 9... Even though DirectX 11 was out for 5 years at that point.

    The more I watch videos like that the more I appreciate that I grew up with Sims 1 and 2 (and partially 3). And also the more I'm getting mad at Sims 3, because it was the game that started spiralling the series into what it is now (but at least Sims 3 gave us different experience and some awesome DLCs, plus Medieval side game).

    It is MUCH easier to change the game into the language you WANT in The Sims 2 than in The Sims 4. Am I right? I noticed the language of game menus in your Sims 2 vs Sims 4 game. I sometimes like to play my game in Japanese instead of English....Sims 4 won't let me change the language of my game without deleting my whole game and booting it up from scratch >_>.

    The routing issue used to be a HUGE problem in previous games. Sims would get stuck all the time if they didn't get a whole square to walk in wherever they were going. I'm guessing that's why Sims can just walk through each other in TS4. That last Sim would have been stuck on the stairs forever with that big group standing at the top. We used to complain about this a lot back in the day.

They LOVE everything that EA does, and are ready to throw their hard earned money in the trash just to defend a millionaire company that doesn't even know that they exist. I mean, 20 YEARS separate these two games, that's an absurd. The amount of money that they ask for the game is also insane. We should stand together to ask for a better game, not to lick EA's boots.

    Recently been getting to play ts2, and man you can FEEL the work put into it. I like ts4, but it gets so so frustrating to play cus all these little things pile up and makes it annoying to play. The only thing I'm struggling with in ts2 is literally just figuring out how to play and get good results, but thats because the game is just harder than ts4 and works differently in many areas and its my first time playing, not because the game's glitches, bug and performance actively hinders your gameplay.

    2:05 However when installing a new expansion in the Sims 2 and 3 sims automatically teleport and cancel all interactions whenever you load your save before installing a new expansion pack. I don’t think this happens in the Sims 1 but it might in that game too for example saving your game with the base game only before installing Livin large then loading the game after Livin’ large could do that in the sims 1. I have only played the deluxe edition.

      I never had that experience. I used to enjoy setting my Sims 2 lots up like the EA ones when saving- cutout walls, 1 game speed and everyone kind of posed around the house. So I think I would have noticed if after instamming Bon Voyage my setup was ruined. As for Sims 3, I only remember that all the actions in the hood reset if you place a house from the library, I think. But then it gives you a text warning.
