Got Seasons and I find this to be more than some quality content. Probably differs from you and person to person but I’ve seen far more positives than negatives and this expansion certainly been a big step in a good direction. Even read a few people that use to be so critical of the game before found it to be more than a welcoming change and are finally having fun with it.

Subjective from person to person to what you may or may not find fun.

The point is the sims 4 is lack luster and down right boring for the most part and if they want to drag it out they need to give good quality content.

Sadly, there are probably some things they absolutely cannot do now, due to constraints of the underlying technology and design decisions that were made way back when. It’s kind of like trying to change the underground foundation after a skyscraper was built on top of it.

I think they would have added CAS color/pattern wheels already by now if they could have, so I am guessing that falls victim to technology constraints. I also feel like if we ever get some terrain manipulation or world designer, it will be very generic and limited in nature compared to what we had in the past (hope this is not the case, but this is what I am conditioning my expectations to be haha).

But with that said, I still think they have the power to “wow us” with Sims 4 content. They have the ability to make the gameplay much deeper and richer, particularly with the sims themselves. And hopefully some of the essential elements will make a return (like cars and bikes and swimming in oceans).

I love the gameplay of Sims 2 if they added those to S4 that will be like whipcream on pie.

But they can also hire another team to working on another EP so we can get 2 EP in 1 year? but lol yes, I know your point.Couldn’t agree more.

I agree with you as well. I still play Sims 2 and 3 they are fun games it mixes it all up really well. I love how easy it is to create sims in S4 too.

At least half of us do not agree with you – I would say much more than half seeing EA stated we are their 2nd highest selling game they have (this was stated at the last earnings call). The only EA game that does better in sales than we do now is Fifa. Sims 4, unlike previous Sims games is even said to do better than EA;s Madden Foot ball and their other big games. What’s more after nearly 18 years of Sims the stock market people finally are giving us some respect and actually ask question about the Sims in the Q and A part of the Earnings call. Up until Sims 4 – it seemed none of them even really knew what the Sims was.

In video games when they talk budget – they d not mean money – they mean man hours. No game company can increase the number of hours in a day – and seeing devs are humans – they are only capable of working so many hours in a day. That can’t be increased by law – but EA does not limit their finances for any of their big games as long as they recover what is spent in sales of each man hour heavy ep.
