Like others have said, having it all laid out on a detailed timeline, really helps the brain soak up the information to be processed. Lol. I cant wait to read about the other topics mentioned!

I get it, spend 10 minutes playing the new content (that’s usually all it takes), get to a loading screen, and remember why i loved Sims 3 so much (which could take days to explore new content … without loading screens)

They wanted to put Windenburg into the basegame but backed off to make a selling point for get together.

The Sims 4 had from the beginning too many red flags. I still enjoy Life Simulation Games but the sims 4 is shady and fishy… on sooo many levels.

It’s depressing at times seeing the sims 4 in the state it’s in.

I wish EA would sell off the sims so it could receive the love it needs.

For me, knowing there wouldn’t be open worlds is what got me completely uninterested.
