The sims 4 launch discussion thread

[Oasis]

There's something inherently wrong with a game that removes so much content that was in its series for the past decade.

Amg it has little mysims collectable statues!

[Bisjac]

yeah more screenshots. im still undecided

Framerate isn't very good, Zoomed in it struggles to keep 60 and zoomed max out it doesn't manage 30. (On both ultra and low)

But it has the far superior friendship system from sims 2 where everybody has a friendship and love meter. It's way more sims 2 than 3.


Dates and weddings and maybe more stuff also gives you quest style things to do during them again like the sims 2.

Refunded. I'm gonna use my money to get more Sims 3 expansions.
Reasons for refunding:

• Forced tutorial that resets every time you start a new game
• Confusing as forget UI with no real camera controls
• Not as optimized as EA said it would be
• CAS is a downgrade - Can't save individual Sims, can't import Sims into a household, and can't accessibly make identical twins

on amazon people are saying its stuff: http://www.amazon.com/The-Sims-4-Limited-Edition-Pc/dp/B00EFRN2IQ/ref=sr_1_2?ie=UTF8&qid=1409701332&sr=8-2&keywords=the+sims+4

The thing I really don't understand is why maxis made it? couldn't it have been someone else? couldn't EA sell it to someone reliable? Maxis already forgeted up with the new Simcity, yet they did not learn from their mistakes and in the end they just got money. The idea of expansion packs this year are going to be disgusting to me, having to pay for DLC which should have been in the game. I am a Sims fan and I have played all sims games on the PS2 and sims 1-2 on pc, what EA does is they release loads of expansion packs and then 4-5 years later they release the game with all of its expansions for 59.99 OR Free (the sims 2 ultimate collection was free)  This idea of "expansion packs" should Stop, no just stop it fully. If I was given the opportunity to make a new sims game I would: add new graphics to make it look like crysis or unreal, fix bugs, have Planets, and tons more. You can't have the same person develop the same game all the time, even COD gives itself to different developers each year and It changes a bit year by year.

How is CAS a downgrade? You CAN save sims, not sure about importing sims, and you CAN make twins.

So far the information I have gathered, the Sims 4 seems like you either love it or you hate it game.

Nobody loves it, it's complete garbage.

Dear God, look at that texture quality...

I like it!

You CAN save sims

No, you can save households. You can't save Sims on their own for you to import into other households.

and you CAN make twins.

No, you can make a clone of a Sim with randomly generated clothes, hair, makeup, etc. You can't just straight-up duplicate a Sim.

You can't have the same person develop the same game all the time, even COD gives itself to different developers each year and It changes a bit year by year.

Call of Duty has had three developers over the course of 11 years and has produced 11 games in the franchise; nine of which were developed by the same company. The Sims was developed by one company over the course of 14 years and only has four games in the franchise. I don't see your logic.

But look at them all playing in the garden!

So it's EA trash that absolutely everyone hates? Fantastic, that means I'll probably love it!
