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.
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.
