The Sims 4 is one of the most insulting sequels I have ever seen. It's so far below what they did with Sims 3 that it almost seems like a joke. It's a complete disaster on every level and no amount of adding expansion packs can fix it.Fragems wrote:Man what else got scrapped for 4. I mean throwing in more facial animations/moods is cool and all, but the other aspects of the game seem to have taken vast bounds backwards.
These are just a few of the changes:
-The graphics are less detailed.
-The open world is gone (an absolutely GIGANTIC step back).
-Long loading screens for anything you want to do.
-Create a style is gone (no customizing clothes or furniture anymore).
-Most careers are gone.
-No ability to adjust the terrain (if it's not flat, you can't build not that it matters because the game doesn't allow you to create your own lots anymore either and the lots are smaller and you can only have one foundation so no detached buildings).
-No story progression (the other Sims that live in the world don't do anything off camera by themselves so the world never evolves).
-No toddlers (Sims go from baby straight to child and babies aren't even a life state anymore since they're just objects in your house that you can't remove from your house).
-Teenagers, Adults and Elders all look pretty much exactly the same.
It's like a stripped down mobile version of the Sims somehow got released as a PC game by accident. Maxis Emeryville has been shut down now so the future of this franchise is looking pretty grim.
