Sim just wanna have fun

Oh shit waddup! Name's Carli, or C. I play the sims and blog my hardships. Nothing about this blog is going to be professional so don't be alarmed at the use of gifs and/or profanity. I am mucho mature for a twenty-something year old. In sims traits I'm a shy, clumsy, socially awkward, cat loving bookworm so please talk to me.

The Sims 4:  Two Years of Meh

Nothing more needs to be said, “I want a different game than [The Sims 4] is and they’re not willing to make that game.”

Here’s to hoping The Sims 5 isn’t more of the same.

Its almost as if he took the words right out of my mouth :( I just can’t wait forever on a game to become enjoyable for me! I saw a post that really hit it out of the ballpark for me on how different my experience with the Sims 4 has been from my experience with the Sims 3. It was something like “I don’t even open the sims 3 unless I know I have at least 3 hours free to play it.” Sure i’ve racked up a nice few hours with the sims 4, but like, ive never been awake until 3am in the morning just not wanting to stop playing like I was with the sims 3 and 2! Anyways, unless toddlers are added and are great, I guess im just going to have to wait for the sims 5… :(

Sim me still going on hot dates with Eric Marx (The amazing @aikea-guinea​‘s simmie). Eaxis gave him the worlds worst workout wear. GJ game GJ.

So I decided to try to upload on here as I edit my photos. They’ll all be basically captionless for the most part (I’ll add tidbits if I think it necissary). If you are interested to know what happened up to this point go here (x)

[simbula-rasa]

When you edit an update at a time you just never want to do it. It takes so long. And the version of shop that I have is all wonky and the actions are broken. >: 

So someone said to me that you can never meet a good person off the Internet. I want to prove them wrong. Reblog if you've met someone from the Internet and they've turned out to be one of the best people to ever exist.

[wannabecatwriter]

Absolutely! I feel like I’ve met more good people on the internet than irl.

[msyoungsimmer-deactivated201612]

i will seriously start a list right here right now 😂

[princessdejamars]

just like in real life …..there are great people on the net and there are bad apples trying to ruin it for the good ones….but we shall persevere in spite of those trying to spoil it for the awesome people who are out here 

[katsujii]

I definitely have and those people are more loyal than even family.

It’s been 2 years of TS4

I am about to lay down some probably semi-unpopular opinions. So watch out.

I’m going to be honest. While I don’t entirely hate the game I will say that I am pretty damn disappointed. It put me off from playing the franchise for a bit. I got so bored at the initial release that I lost interest in sims for quite a bit. (Thus my poor backing up resulted in me loosing my favourite sims and their saves. I am an idiot.) It’s a sad truth but that is really how fickle I am.

Now I am not saying it’s a bad game. I just feel like it’s lost all its connectivity to the original franchise. Now I have been playing this game since it’s initial launch. And while it’s had it’s ups and downs nothing has felt as flat as this. (Not even sims online...)

At first I thought it was just a case of ‘well this isn’t the sims three. There is nothing to do.’ which is what happened to me when I bought TS3 on release. I had all that wonderful content from the sims 2 while the base game of the sims 3 had nothing. The team on TS3 were pretty damn quick to remedy that. Even if I had to pay for the new content it was still pretty meaty content. Comparing the two TS4 has had 2 ‘full’ (I’ll get to that issue later on) expansions, 3 game packs and a slew of stuff packs in its first two years. Now looking back by this point the sims three had five, yes FIVE, full expansions, 4 stuff packs, three new buyable towns and a bunch of store things.

Now one might argue that they aren’t releasing expansions as fast in order to really get them right. But to be honest the expansions don’t really feel like that much of an expansion at all. They add a small handful of items to the game, a couple of new mechanics and that is it. Other than a bunch of new animations what do I get out of it? That is what i’ve asked myself. Maybe I am just a bitter jaded old lady... but the sims 4 content seems really bland. Sure when I got it it kept me occupied for a few hours. I thought it was cool and new but the novelty worn off pretty damn quick and I was back playing around in the sims two and three.

I also felt like the sims lacked any character. Like the traits didn’t really seem to do much but give them a couple of animations specific to that trait or affect their ‘emotions’. Which by the way ended up less cool in practice... mainly since manipulating them felt too easy.

But as I was saying before TS4 isn’t a bad game, it’s pretty good if you’re jumping into the series. Or if you like building or creating sims. Because let’s be honest both CAS and build mode are effing great. There is a lot of options which made me even forget being mad about the lack of colour wheel. Just because I find it bland and lacking a lot of the personality that the last three games have had doesn’t mean it is a bad game. It is a pretty good one.

Honestly I could go on about the things I dislike and liked about the game but in the end it will always be summed up the the word ‘disappointed’. This simmer probably won't be buying the next few expansions. Because A) While expansions are the same price I feel as if I am getting less out of them and B) It seems like the team at the sims really don’t know how to deliver the content many players are asking for. So until I feel like the game might peak my interest again I’ll probably stick with the sims 3 or 2.

If you read all of this rant thanks. I’d like to hear your opinions. Maybe I just haven’t given the game enough time? Maybe the face I don't own all the stuff packs makes a difference? What are your thoughts on the future of the game?
