The game has been an anti-consumer dumpster fire from the beginning. I didn't buy it due to it lacking an open world, and EA has gone out of their way to repeatedly validate that decision. It wasn't enough to add faggots and trannies. Now they're adding polytard shit. They're also fucking up a romance system that worked perfectly fine in 3:
Just fucking perfect. There goes the story telling aspect. Now the game is hard coding whether two Sims can be attracted, and combined with the sexual orientation nonsense it will be easier to create a faggot with 10 different butt buddies than make a straight male and find him a wife to start a family. They'll probably make the straight male Sim an incel and push him towards dating a troon or getting spitroasted by other dudes. Fuck this game and fuck EA. They almost got me to reconsider this dumpster fire with their farming EP, but I just couldn't justify it with all the fag and tranny shit the game is infested with. My instincts were sadly correct.
Also here's a bonus article where a retard games urinalist confirms what we've all known for a decade: TS3 blows TS4 out of the water. The grifting hacks have added so much DLC to 4 that they've wiped out the performance advantage it had over 3.
EA accidentally taking the bold stance of correctly portraying faggot promiscuity.
That and the absolute wasteland that is modern dating.

Get a passport, bro.
lol, I’m in New Zealand.
Do NOT come to New Zealand, trust me 😐👎
Man, hyperrealism in video games is getting out of hand.
I haven't played The sims since they tossed away that outstanding jazz. Looks like I'm not missing anything at all.
Same. Nothing will ever feel quite like the Sims 1 did.

Great choice. It's like comfort food for your ears.
I haven't played Sims anything since I stopped with Sims Online. A friend of mine who played along with was a natural born troll; he would do things like pee on other peoples' floors and tell them to clean it up because it's their house. Then he'd go and set fireworks off in the backyard and start fires until they kicked him out.
Good times.
Sims has been a guilty pleasure game of mine for years. Haven’t tried lovestruck but that is ridiculous that people are hard coded to only be friends. Although I can’t say I’m surprised at any weird developments
Not really that ridiculous when you consider most if not all of the devs are either cucks or feminists.
A distinction without a difference if the case of the "males". Your comment just made me realize something. With the polytard shit included the devs will probably make all the females sexually attracted to a small set of shitty men and "romantically" attracted to the rest so Simmers don't have to play Cuckold Simulator to get that experience. Their "Sim selves" get to be a whore's emotional tampon and paypig while she fucks Tyrone, just like their real selves.
True
Have you played 4 or just 3? If I could get over the lack of open world I'd consider pirating it, but then there's the weird shit with emotions and I'd have to figure out how to remove all the fag shit. I kinda doubt it would be worth it. I really wanted to try out Cottage Living but I just can't stomach giving EA money for the game.
Is there any redeeming feature of The Sims 4? Execs and devs were trying to figure how much they could break the game by shitting-up the Quality of Life and then sell you DLCs to fix their deliberate sabotage.
The Sims 3 is already ''graphically good enough''. The mechanics are good for the genre. It runs well.
I hear the house building and Create-a-Sim is mostly an improvement over 3, but even there they cut out the color wheel because they just couldn't resist reducing the quality in some way. But otherwise, no. The gameplay is absolute dog shit and OG Simmers keep going back to 3 for that reason. The improved design aspects combined with the gameplay going to shit has caused the player base to skew even more female than previous installments which probably contributes to the woke bullshit being pushed.
Isn't it just fan service, thought?
To my knowledge, Sims fans are primarily lonely wine aunts who like cheap drama. Not you, guys.
They are obsessed with the Current Thing^TM and are ready to spend hundreds of dollars on lazy extensions to create their own reality TV simulator.
Shitty predatory dlc aside, I can't really knock a game that is designed to emulate the real world when it's doing exactly what it set out to do. Reality is full of man made horrors, so it's just pulling from that.
Middle aged women players are ecstatic.
Sims is played by a lot of girls.. makes sense.
Ah, so they've brought the real life Friendzone into the game.
I wonder if they will implement a feature where the female sims will get a grumbly icon over their head complaining about where all the good men have gone when they hit 40+?
If you're playing a sims game as an adult, then the faggot has already been created without EA's assistance
