I heard it wasn't very good. :( Let me know how it is!
Internet always complains first. I don't know, I love it. My experience with both sims 2 and sims 3 was that they don't fucking work, bugged to all hell and basically unplayable. This is smooth as fuck. The neighbourhood is tiny and if you go anywhere outside the immediate zone (there are other houses and areas in it, though, not just your lot) there's a loading screen, but tbh, I never leave my house and I never interact with anyone and I just basically play to have a 10 levels long family tree so this fits me, eh. (something you learn to do when scrolling around is a fucking pain.)
The movement is absolutely painless, the interface is weird as shit but you get used to it and it actually works, the neighbourhood - as small as it is - is full of random sims that are completely effortless to interact with and then ditch forever because wtf is friendship, you can literally just catch someone on the street without having to wait for them to finish whatever action they're doing, the multitasking is brilliant, and the graphics are great.
Another thing I love about the neighbourhood is that you can go anywhere, there isn't that whole click-blob-click-blob-wait feeling to it at all, it's really simple and nice. I... haven't tried building anything yet but I don't think much has changed on that. The lack of customization in clothes and furniture is regrettable, but doesn't hinder my life too much. I'm sure someone whose playing style is build/decor oriented will tell you otherwise. I've never cared so much, I just want the story. Not had much experience with the moods but I'm absolutely in love with the social revamps, like situational interactions, because moving back to categorized if you don't have something you want to have is effortless, and the conversation literally goes on even as you're picking options.
Clearly, I've played this for two hours, so I don't know jack or squat yet, but the first impression is good for me. It's entirely different from the previous games, though. Everything but the concept has changed from S3.
DID I MENTION NO LAG AND SMOOTH EVERYTHING BECAUSE NO LAG AND SMOOTH EVERYTHING HOLY SHIT
