After being such a fan of the Sims 3 and all that it offered, Sims 4 initially felt like a step in the wrong direction. Sims 3 had such an extensive CAS system, with the color wheels and fabrics for creating unique outfits, as well as the plentiful traits and aspirations. Sims 4 has a watered-down version of it (going from 5-7 traits in Sims 3 to only 3 in Sims 4 was my biggest disappointment), but it does allow players to make characters more quickly in order to play the game. While looking more cartoon-y than Sims 3, Sims 4 has a simpler building mode, enabling players to make their dream homes much more quickly than Sims 3 ever did. I definitely miss the open world of Sims 3, but Sims 4 is swift with the few loading screens and the emotions aspect is fun to exploit. All in all, I'm certainly hoping that more will be added with future expansion packs because at the moment, the Sims 4 just seems like it's a work in progress.

After the open world concept of Sims 3, the first installation of Sims 4 was at best underwhelming. The absence of a colour wheel, and the choices of fabrics for the outfits were sorely missed for the players who prefer the aesthetic of creating unique houses. The CAS was probably the best aspect of the game.

This is cool game that wakes up your imagination. You can be anyone in the real world, but in this game you will be the one who you want to be. You can build the home of your dreams and have so many children that you want to. System of relationships in this game makes you feel like the center of the world or like a God of friendship and love. This is such kind of game that everyone must play.

Sims 4 just seemed incomplete in my opinion. Going from Sims 3 to Sims 4 was disappointing. There is far less content and there are not toddlers anymore. The CAS mode is updated and better than the previous Sims, but they removed some of the most important elements in the game for some people.

Sims 4 offers very little extra than what you got in Sims 3. The game-play is like for like and the only discernible difference comes in the form of household items and decorations. And yet those are lacking in number, instead most of the Sims 4 comes in the form of hated DLC. Day 1 DLC, special edition DLC and frequent DLC releases. EA and the Sims are known for DLC packages but with the Sims 4 they've taken it to a new level of absurdity and have released a stripped down game to compensate.

Going from Sims 3 to Sims 4 was disappointing. The base game for Sims 4 had far less content than Sims 3 did, including a surprising lack of pools and toddlers. When EA addressed this issue, they said it was because of a lack of time. It would have benefited them to push back the release date in order to work in these two essential components. Outside of missing content, the new sim creation mode is appealing, yet I still find myself drawn to Sims 3 more often than Sims 4.

So much can go wrong if you decide to leave out a swimming pool from a Sims title. Though they brought it back later it still didn't fill the black holes that was flowing through this once amazing title. This has so little content that i heard echos while playing it. The Sims 3 left us with dogs and Harry Potter magic wands where Sims 4 tried to float our bubble with a new facial emotion feature which we only observed 10% of the time. Not bad and not good either stick to Sims 3 and stay happy.

As a player who has purchased and played every sims generation as they came out, Sims 4 leaves something lacking as a base game. Without previous game elements, such as toddlers, the game feels incomplete. The introduction of the new CAS (Create a Sim) system and the emotions driven gameplay gives the franchise a new draw, but without the addition of some of the older elements, the game will never be as attractive to previous players.
