its funny how many complaints there are. I was a bit disapointed that the open world feature was removed but i got over it. And i am happy toddlers are gone. I hated them because they cried more then babies.

Thank you for the nice reply, I haven’t seen a lot of nice ‘One Big Happy Sim-Fan Family’ replies these days… 🙂 We all trusted EA/Maxis or who ever is in charge these days, to ‘feed’ us with all our requests we wanted in the Sims series. Now we all feel like they are letting us down, this is tearing us Simmers apart and it’s sad to see, everyone’s fighting… Personally, I was very dissappointed when I read that CASt is gone, my rooms are so cozy and inviting, even I want to live in the house 🙂 (I’m a builder/decorateur) I still believe (hope) they are holding back all the good stuff and will reward our patience and loyalty with plenty of new information soon about TS4, that will hopefully blow us away 🙂

I’m not talking about lack of Sims within the neighborhood, but within public lots. There are more than enough people out there who have complained about that for 5 years. I feel pretty confident about stating that most people did not experience the ‘community’ part of the word ‘community lot’ in Sims 3.
Of course we don’t know if they reused anything from previous games this time, except from them stating that that was the case. On top of that, the game runs on a different engine. Taking thinkgs out of Sims 2 and 3 and putting them into 4 is not as easy as it was to copy things over from 2 to 3.
And the UI: I’m not talking about what we have now. I like the UI of Sims 3. It was able to handle expansion packs way better than the UI in Sims 2. It didn’t become as messy and complicated. What I am talking about are the map markers, notifications and some details within the main UI. Remember? Back at Release? They lookes different. They were still not finished at that point and the finished UI was patched in quite a while later.

ok Monarch, Problem here: I presented features, which were in EVERY TS3 game. About yours:
Empty neighborhood? Never felt that way, place down some more houses with big families, voila. My neighboorhoud felt more vibrant.
I actually like the clothes and hairstyles… even from vanilla (and don’t start with the skimask 😛 )
Copied furniture? well, ok then, at least I could CASt them like I wanted to be. Maybe they are also using TS3 furiniture, we will see.
Reused Animations: they worked, at least for me. Also we don’t know how much will be reused from Sims 3 or 2 in 4
Rabbit-Holes: ok, They are anoying, but I am not sure what will happen in TS4… expect the things they promissed.
UI: I liked it, it was comfortable to use.

As you can see. Performance is not everything. Even more: Some of your points were opinion-based or User-based, not fact-based (all game around). TS3 delivered, sometimes it was chuncky, alright, but it delivered… Sure, TS4 will run better than 3… and will appeal to many gamers of the franchise. But I, in my honest opinion, am not impressed with it, at all.

By the way, it’s nice how people are completely ignoring 10 of my 12 points and instead focus on the only two points that could be connected to the system one is using, by just choosing to redicule my whole argument they way they do, without having any idea how rediculous they sound, should I in fact use a high-end system.

Typical…
Don’t have anything else to say, procede to attacking someone. Sometimes I’m ashamed to be a part of this community.
My computer and those of many others who have complained about these axact same things for the last five years are way more than sufficient to play Sims 3. Hell, I can run Skyrim on highest settings, with High Quality texture replacers, hundrets of mods and an ENB without experiencing as little as a small stutter.
If you’ve really been blind enough to not see how many people had issues with Sims 3 despite having high-end systems, then I am really really sorry for you!

Those are your issues. I did not have them.

And an empty neighborhood and terrible performance and non-existent stability and terrible looking clothing and hair styles and furniture that was directly copied from Sims 2 and reused Animations from Sims 2 and a reused engine from Sims 2 and immersion breaking Rabbit Holes and missing roofs and a UI that was still WIP and and and…
Don’t get me wrong. I’ve grown to love Sims 3 for what it is. But the Base Game was a disaster! Even after the first couple patches. I did not enjoy playing that game until Late Night. And even then I still preferred playing Sims 2 and still do. Mostly because of that oh-so-wonderful but disgustingly lifeless open world.”

Kill your buzz? You were actually buzzing? For realz? I actually thought that you were being sarcastic. I still do. I find it hard to believe that tweets (of all things) would make someone quiver of excitement. Especially since the tweets don’t really give that much away and for a long time now, have been all ‘we may or may not be able to comment on something we can not talk about’.

But sure thing honey, whatever floats your boat. lol
