The Sims have never been about complete realism. The game itself always had that cartoony-like exaggeration feel in all Sims games; the Sims, the Sims 2, and the Sims 3. Having Mass Effect realistic graphics is not only a bad idea in terms of not having the nostalgic feel of the Sims, but I know good in well your computers are having a difficult time handling the Sims 3 with all those expansion, stuff packs, mods, custom content, and store content piling up. I do not want to go through that again.

EA hasn’t reveal enough to know whether this series will be a complete success or a total disaster. We don’t know how the towns and neighborhoods will be like and the Sims in it. We have yet to see the other life stages and how they contribute to the game. We just don’t know enough. I’d say wait until the end of the year to make a real judgment of the Sims 4, since they might have enough information and maybe another gameplay trailer to give us what we need to know.

And I agree with Laura and the others completely. I don’t need ultra-realism in a Sims game, but this is taking it too far. It looks like a cheap (or dare I say “free to play”) cell phone app game.

Enough with showing the same couple young adult characters over and over and over.

I know i would see an ep and say oh that looks really good and maybe that will make my game fun then it just falls flat. There are so many of us who have been very unhappy and ready for the next gen.

While i dont really like the look of this sims im not terribly disappointed either because the more i see the more i realize it does look simish. ya they arent carbon copies of the other games ive learned to look at it not as an extension of the sims game but as its own title which is what it is. not every game i so for everyone.
