Yep. I still play all of the games, but EA really botched up the launch of TS4 and Maxis has been playing catch up ever since. When you have executives who don’t “get” the franchise or simmers in general, they’ll slow kill a game while milking all they can from it.. I have a lot of sympathy for maxis devs, working with EA executives who don’t get it must be frustrating.

Folks will try and defend EA’s foolishness but it’s a behemoth with a richly deserved reputation for ruining games.

Emotions are so useless. They render all the sims the same personality wise, and it’s something in the past I’ve gone in depth to explain on this site, but it’s as cut and dry as that. Emotions negate traits. I never thought emotional sims meant “smarter sims.” Heck in humans emotions render us irrational and vulnerable rather than “smart” (depending on your personal view of intelligence of course). I think the addition of traits from TS2 to TS3 was brilliant. I loved it. TS2 sims, to most, were very emotional, responsive sims, even without traits, because of the systems TS2 implemented with wants and fears. I love that TS3 took that a step further and added unique characteristics for sims to abide by. TS4 took those characteristics and said “what if we apply emotions to this?” The emotions, regardless of traits, are universal for each sim. A sad sim will act the same, regardless if they are “evil” or “good.” Sure, an evil sim may be more inclined to get angry than sad, and a good sim more sad than angry, but both sims will have the same whims and desires if they are in the same mood. This is why emotions make the game feel stale rather than alive, to me. I could honestly do without them all together as they stand currently.

That’s for sure. EA is still making the big bucks. I also agree with you that the fighting is hilarious. That’s why I get in the middle -insert troll face here-

I feel like I’m the only one, or one of a few, who are still waiting patiently for news. I’m just hoping it’s something big, not just a new pack or something. Maybe cool updates?

How is TruthSayer spending $700 on TS3 and less than $200 ( I assume more than 100$) “not good for EA” ? Their consumer choice is still to buy an EA product, so I don’t get the point, further the game isn’t finished.

As someone who enjoys all the sims game, the fighting among simmers is hilarious but the bickering comes from ALL Players. The real laugh is that Truthsayer spent $700 on TS3 because at the end of the day, EA is still happy.

Why does the Sims look so different with the blue screen stuff like this? They look like the Old Sims 4 Concept art in motion, even her pixie cut is from the old concept art. They redid it in the game, but it’s not as cute.
