Yes indeed. It can only help the situation. I’ve been pretty happy with Sims 4 lately (loved Seasons, Brindleton Bay and finally got my sliding glass doors!) but I’m greedy and I want more sims haha

Yep. Even if the competitor created something that was completely different in spirit or wasn’t as good The Sims, just having competition would force EA/Maxis to up their game.

I have been saying the same thing! It’s hard to believe. I think Planet Coaster gave Roller Coaster Tycoon a run for its money, and that’s coming from someone who was a devoted RCT2 and 3 fan! I wonder if we will ever see something similar with the Sims! I would be happy to hang on with EA, as long as they try to keep the “magic” that made the earlier sims series so great 🙂

Yeah, I definitely get that, but I think there are subtle things they could do. For example, I’m on the autistic spectrum; while not perfect, I thought TS3’s Neurotic + Loner was a great way to represent the way I feel–TS3’s Neurotic + TS4’s Loner (with its “Stranger Danger” moodlet) would be even better.

So what? If you can’t afford it, use pirated like me. If you don’t want to wait, play The Sims 3… also like me!

So far they seem to be mostly looking at doing blind Sims, deaf Sims, and Sims using mobility aids (wheelchairs, canes). I get why they’re more reluctant to do mood disorders and such; they’re more personal and complicated, they’re different for each person, they’re easier to mess up in a way that’s offensive or harmful, doing them through TS4 moods could very easily be reductive, etc. I might like an Anxious trait that makes use of Tense, though, not explicitly being an anxiety disorder but making it possible to RP as if your Sim has one, if that makes any sense.

don’t lie to yourself, the snow being “no-depth”at all is true if you compare to the Sims 2, there is a HUGE differences and A LOT of people complain about the weather details, like always, they down grade Sims 4 like no tomorrow

wow, no wonder Sims 4 takes so long to have updates,fixed bugs and good detailed packs, cause half the time they are arguing in here lol!

1) Sims 4 released without ANY toddlers! Simulation game without any toddlers….hmmm yes!

2) Sims 2/3 are known to be very, very detail and now looking at the Sims 4, soooo many things were taken out or put in a pack which was in a base game for Sims 2/3. AKA PAY!!!

3) Some bugs are still not fix like the teleportation when Seasons came out, holding spoons and not disappearing, standing sims and doing nothing, list can go on.

I can go on if I want to, and yes, a lot of people did complain about the Snow and details of the weather in the Sims 4, I watch the stream as well and the guru notice the comments, they are very little in depth as if they are zero compared to the Sims 2, Snow on the Sims 2 looks more 3D and they have lumps for detail, Sims 4 snow on roof looks flat and floor looks plain white, go compare, you can see the differences

They need to just hire diverse cc creators. they seem to know how to navigate the game better than the official team. Imagine what they could do with EA’s resources
