If Sims 5 happens I won't be surprised if being hungry was part of the base game and eating was part of the "Basic Needs" Expansion Pack.

Giving everyone a hot tub for something as momentous as a 20th anniversary has big dashcon ball pit energy

My wife introduced me to the Sims 4 by making a character of me in her household. I picked "clumsy" and "good natured" as traits, and promptly had a heart attack on the treadmill. My sim would fall due to clumsiness, laugh due to being good natured, and would be in good spirits to continue running— this looped until my sim was in hysterics, on a treadmill, and his heart gave out.

Honestly, sometimes I get defensive about TS4, but then I realise, I'm playing a copy that I got illegitimately, with all the DLC, with too many mods to count. At this point I'm not playing TS4, I'm playing what the community has made of it. Thanks, sims community!

The fact that we needed to pay $40 to get Seasons for a life simulation game got me 💀

as a wedding coordinator the wedding pack sounds like it's pretty realistic

It shocks me how seasons, jobs, colleges, pets, and any type of WEATHER wasn’t added in the base game. Those things are a big part of life, how are they not included in a life simulation?

This comment will be unread but well I was part of the beta testers for the Sims 4 before its release. I was absolutely shocked by the disappearance of open worlds, shops, cars, insects, pools, toddlers, ghosts, playable jobs and much more as we players expected "rabbit holes" from the Sims 3 to go extinct in the Sims 4. With other testers, we warned EA about the cruel lack of content in the game, and they basically responded that "they had to make sacrifices to implement the complex system of emotions" and that they will never change anything before release. When the game released they compensated the lack of content by paying every influencer on Earth to play their damn game and say it's amazing. They still got roasted by the community and had to kneel to add pools, ghosts and toddlers for free, but damn. I am very worried about what the Sims 5 will be.

The fact that they released a survey questioning what packs do the community want in the future and Star Wars was part of the poll and got the lowest amount of votes yet they released Journey to Batuu like weeks after is so insane LOL

As someone who finally picked up the Sims 4 because it went free-to-play, I'm glad the base game is free nowadays. It makes pirating all the expansion packs and DLC content so much simpler.

"NOOOO, YOU MUSTY SPEND HUNDREDS OF DOLLARS ON EXPLOITIVE PRICES TO HAVE MORE CONTENT!!!" Me waiting for FitGirl to pirate the game again with the new expansion pack: 🍷🗿

I just miss the open world so much. All my sims 4 sims are the biggest loners because the loading screens just make going anywhere so annoying too me. As soon as I play with more than one sim they are basically never leaving because I hate that I cannot control both of them at the same time unless they are in the same place. Weirdly, I also just loved watching my sims travel to different parts of their town by bike or in a car because I loved the animation and how realistic it made the game. There was just so much more to do.

The concept art for the Grim Reaper is KILLING ME knowing we could’ve had an interesting and unique twist on him rather than a basic Grim Reaper design

I remember thinking “wow, the emotions changing rapidly in this game is so realistic!” because I could relate to even the smallest things changing my mood entirely. Years later, I’ve been diagnosed with borderline personality disorder. Yup.

My favorite was the excuse for no color wheel being performance. As someone who knows quite a bit about how game development actually works, i can tell you that changing the color of an object is quite literally one of the easiest things your GPU can do. The way they did it, using unique textures for each swatch, is actually less performant since you need to stream in and out those textures, and store them in memory especially if you have multiple objects with different swatches. This was simply done out of either laziness or simply to save server resources on the multiplayer game. (I dont know how it can be lazyness though, its actually about 2 lines of shader code). Its only (slightly) less efficient for networking, since instead of sending 4 color values, youre just sending which swatch number youre using. This is absolutely the reason.

I know I'm late, but my biggest gripe with Sims 4 is that making sims is great, building a house is even better. But after that I'll play for maybe 15 minutes and get bored because there's nothing to do. Despite what they said on release the sims have no personality, nothing ever affects anything, mood is completely irrelevant, and they even turned off wants by default. There is a complete lack of content after the build stage. And the amount of content you get in things like stuff packs really makes me wonder how many people are really working on Sims 4. Because let's be honest - things like 25 objects in a stuff pack, many of which don't even have any animations or interactions like windows or lamps or general decor items, shouldn't take more than a month to make for like 5 people max. Especially when you consider that many items nowadays are just covert recolours or resizes of items that already exist.

The fact that they took burglars out are insane

My theory for gatherings like weddings in the Sims is that each lot has a max total of collective brain cells. The more Sims involved in a thing, the thinner the brain cells are spread between them.

Nothing more infuriating than traveling to an apartment building in the sims 4, having nothing loaded but blank walls and no furniture and needing to go to a separate loading screen to visit an apartment in the same building you didn’t specifically “travel to”. I’m literally looking at the inside of the apartment, LET ME IN! LET ME INNNNN!!!!!!!
