I’ve come to realize awhile ago that anything the store releases will be a watered-down, half-assed disappointment. I can proudly say I haven’t spent a cent on it in a few years. Mods, other free content (fan-made worlds are SO much better than EAxis worlds in every way), and the occasional expansion is the only thing keeping this game alive.

You last sentence REALLY funny! Thanks for the laugh!
It reminds me of how stupid I think it is that EA/The Store site actually has the nerve to charge REAL MONEY to put most backgrounds behind your avatar! WHO the heck charges for you to fix up an avatar pic? Greed knows no boundaries with them.
Just because the amount is miniscule, doesn’t mean it isn’t ridiculous.

I like LGR’s videos so much I saved them (darn thing created me a folder almost 6GB just from those Sims 3 vids,) O.o
But many are so funny he should have a disclaimer saying he’s not responsible for choking to death while watching!
Don’t drink , esp like me (the coffee), or eat, while watching! 😉

From LGR’s video, it just looks like an insipid, uninspired, empty world with broken interactions (no surprises there) and a stripped-down OFB mechanic that doesn’t appear to even work properly, yet EA are charging more than the price of an EP for this? Really?

It doesn’t even use a fullscreen colour filter to achieve the gloomy effect EA were going for, as evidenced by the fact that any new item placed in the game basically shines like a tacky Poundland Christmas tree.

As usual, minimal effort on EA’s part. But then, as I’ve said before, they hardly need to innovate or put any effort into anything these days because the same sheep will hand over their wads of cash regardless, whilst they try to convince themselves they got a good deal.

I can imagine Sims 4 being a loading screen with every single item having a Sims Point value attached to it. Per use.
