    You can't even use Speed Option 4 (fastforward through current action), and extremely useful feature in previous Sims games.

    Romantic interactions have been getting less and less steamy since Sims 2.

In sims 3 you could roam the entire world freely. Go places, knock on other people's doors, and go to community events posted in the news papers, take classes etc. Sims 4 has none of that. I liked Sims 3 because you were always meeting new people randomly as you went through the worlds and it was never hard to socialize or make friends. Sims 4 it is hard to socialize and much time is wasted trying to do so. Sims 4 world is small with like three places to go and little room to build your own community lots. When you want to go somewhere, its like Sims 1 all over again, going to the load screen and then picking a place you can't do anything in. In Sims 3 when you had a child the child turned out depending on how you treat it as a baby and toddler. In Sims 4 the baby can be aged up as soon as you have it no toddlers. I will say that in Sims 3 the baby and toddler seem longed, by they could have just shortened it as oppose to getting ride of it all together. Even if they come out with really good expansion packs I do not see how this game can be saved. They should have started from Sims 3 and went up from there. I am not even sure if this is better than Sims 2. The interactions are better, I guess and that is about it. But you are confined to your house, I did not see any cars you can buy. And if you want to go to somewhere else then you have to wait until the games loads. I am sorry, but I fail to see the improvements from Sims 3. I mean the graphic are better and you can make a more detailed sim, but I rather have better game play that those things. What a waste.… Expand

    A poor game compared to its predecessors. Even with updates, missing a lot of base game features found in 2 and 3.

    You'll find many little annoyances, such as everyone being exactly the same height, and lots of big ones, such as no more open world and families dying out through no Story Progression.

    Overall a huge step back.

    This game was good for about 10 minutes of giggles in Create-A-Sim, but other than that, this game was very boring. Within an hour, I had experienced pretty much everything the "deluxe" base game had to offer, and wasn't very impressed with any of it. I loved Sims 2 and 3, but Sims FreePlay is even better than this.

    No color wheel or pattern system to design clothing or furniture the way you want, very limited color chooses specially for clothes, nothing matches because the colors cannot be adjusted and the predefined colors simply aren't enough.

    No color wheel or pattern system to design clothing or furniture the way you want, very limited color chooses specially for clothes, nothing matches because the colors cannot be adjusted and the predefined colors simply aren't enough. Totally closed and not connected world which means constant loading screens. You can't go in 3D from one neighborhood to another, the sub-hoods aren't connected through roads - you always have to go through map view.
    Loading screen into map, loading screen into neighborhood-selection, loading screen to any lot within the neighborhood. Even all lots in your current neighborhood (there are only 4-5 per sub-hood) are locked from view and you have to go through loading screens to visit lots within your current neighborhood. Very many annoying screens to go through e. g. the neighborhood selection screen appears all the time. Totally flat grounds and lots, no reachable hills and mountains, no private fishing ponds any longer, fake sky, fake horizon, fake grass. The grass deserved not to be named a grass. Bark, rocks and grass lack details and are just painted without a structure on it. Everywhere sparkle effects on foods and harvest items to hide the bad textures. Cartoon style on everything, huge oversize objects and in comparison tiny Sims. Sims with flat paper skin and lots of gaps in the body structure (neck, arms, legs, mouth gaps) and the old fashioned style burrito clothing again this time without structure and mature textures, just clothes appear to me like a piece of paper was brought in a shape. If you now expect better performance in Sims 4 because world is totally closed, most features were removed and graphics were heavily tuned down and the whole simulation was simplified (i would say in Sims 4 is no simulation any longer regarding to family and social reaction aspects) then I have to disappoint you: No faster loading screens, not less bugs but even more bugs, totally modding unfriendly and saving the game is only slightly faster at the very beginning of a fresh save game. So the Sims 4 has no performance gain for the huge sacrifice developers made on it. The world is incredibly small, the sub-hood ends already at your neighbors home, 4 lots are in the neighborhood only. Sims aren't simulated well, Sims only do sport and fishing and nothing else in the neighborhood. You will see them going alone down the road without a family or group. They are mostly jogging, making push-ups on the road, rarely they have an assignment to fish for a while and that's the whole simulation. Only walking, jogging, more walking everyone alone and mostly kids, teenagers and elders. Adults are mostly never on the road which is irritating.
    Kids and teens have no curfew, they roam the roads until 3-4am. Non-played Sims have no needs and no dress code.
    Skills go immediately uncontrolled on everything which is very annoying, from a single conversation your Sim might get already three unwanted skills like comedy, mischief and charisma. Just getting into the pool and out will make your Sim receiving the athletic skill and picking up a fruit will give the Sim the gardening skill. All skills start from level 1 immediately and going already to level 2 which is very confusing. In the other Sims games we had a lock on those skills until we take classes or read a book - here are not existing classes.
    No shops, no community buildings, no city hall, no work buildings, no hospital, only the tripled museums and gyms.
    Meals you buy on your fridge, books you buy on your bookcase, pregnancy is resolved on the toilet.
    Money is taking on the easel for each painting attempt, coffee machine takes money from the Sim and bar does - the floating money effect goes on everything and it annoys - other Sim games didn't that way. Huge bills which come only if you travel with your Sim to other lots, if you don't travel almost never comes any bill. The bill is snapped inside your mailbox, the mailman doesn't come, even if some Sims are working as mailman. The bill usually is snapped inside when you travel from CAS or into CAS or if you visit lots in the city. There is no newspaper and time scaling in weekdays doesn't work proper. Maid doesn't work right and doesn't come when you make a call. All other NPC were removed in this game (fireman, police, gardener, repairman). No repairman is in this game. Things break frequently, your Sim is enforced to do handiness each save game. No right money making or earning in this game exists for your Sim only painting is still profitable even after being downgraded already few times. Patches and updates don't bring fixes for this game - there are only downgrades, new bugs, new annoyances and trait downgrades or things being worsened or being removed from the game even. The graphic was downgraded with patches and more gaps were added to the Sims. Game crashes often or freezes on loading.    … Expand

    This game has made me give up on the sims entirely. I spent the price of a full game for something that feels like a demo.

    Nearly two years later, my initial optimism and intrigue into TS4 has been quelled. The expansion and stuff packs have not helped.

    TS4 is visually beautiful but gameplay feels redundant and less progressive than previous games. TS4 was overly ambitious as it fails to build on former Sims games strengths.

    Disappointed.
    I was hyped about sims 4 CAS and new build mode options, but when the game actually came out, a lot of things were unnecessarily removed.
    First of all: Open world. I loved the fact we had open world in The Sims 3, it made the game more realistic (it is a life simulation game after all) and it was a huge step forward. And now with better graphics and all, we got back to,    Disappointed.

    Second of all: Freestyle modifications like Create a style tool in build and CAS mode were removed. After all these years it's impossible they didn't notice we like to create our own style and for example, be able to create L type stairs. If you don't want us to do this, AT LEAST import it in game and give us more options/designs to choose from. EA couldn't care less about their fans opinions and wishes.
    Third: Prices. Base game doesn't have cars, toddlers or anything and it is instead added in patches? Base game is basically like bread, and if u want a burger you are forced to buy all expansions (which are about the same price as the base game?). There is NO discount if you buy more expansions, so if you like the game and want to play it, you will end up spending at least $300 for all expansions.
    I don't know what the point of giving us a few upgraded things and removing all the awesome stuff was, but to me it seems terribly greedy, since I believe all of this will be added again in the sims 5 so people will think "oh, wow we have open world with great graphics and so many options i need this", which should've been there in the first place.

    Прошло много лет, а дополнения симс 4 все еще стоят 2к рублей. Не смотря на то что с выпуска симс 4 уже прошло 5 лет. В то время как в стиме постоянно происходят распродажи. И того же ведьмака 3, который вышел тоже около 5 лет назад уже можно приобрести за копейки со всеми дополнениями. А Ведьмак признанный шедевр в отличии от симс 4.

    Как уже многие писали, новые симсы хуже старых. По мне так нет ничего лучше симс 2. Симс 2 путешествия, времена года и петомцы. вот лучшие игры которые вы выпустили. К тому же в базовой версии еще и был крутой сюжет.
    Я думала что симс 4 такой пустой только на старте. я думала игру будут дополнять и улучшать, но ничего подобного. И редактор который все хвалят мне абсолютно не нужен, старый был норм. Мне нужен разнообразный геймплей. Мне казалось что в симс 2 его недостаточно, но как же я ошибалась. В СИМС 3 и 4 его вобще УБРАЛИ,

    This is truly the worst Sims game ever created by EA. They are destroying Will Wright's legacy in my opinion. The gameplay is extremely superficial and shallow. The Sims, originally a fun, witty and detailed life SIMULATOR, is nothing more than a doll house where the simulation aspect only happens in your imagination.

    Oh boy, EA ruining another Maxis game here we go again. Now I know it is rather late to be expressing my concerns with the series after this game's release 5-6 years ago but I just want to talk about how this series has gone terribly wrong ever since EA introduced the fourth instalment.

Now I know it is rather late to be expressing my concerns with the series after this game's release 5-6 years ago but I just want to talk about how this series has gone terribly wrong ever since EA introduced the fourth instalment.

    This game is the prime reason as to why fans are losing faith in the developers because they feel the need to turn the product into a cash cow. Some how this has succeeded but it isn't because of EA but it's because EA is now involved in very dodgy influencer marketing. As a marketing student, while EA is doing an amazing job at inflating profits by doing so, the problem is that in the end they will have no source of credibility or a positive reputation to continue the series after this instalment. I'm always keeping up to date with what they do with the sims 4 because it is a marketing lesson but it seems that to have any source of fun with this game you need to purchase a few of the many expansion packs on offer (32 of them). To get this game with all the expansions you'd be paying over £400, how generous! and what's criminal about what they've done is that this DLC only adds very little to the game. With other games, DLC will usually add a whole new plot or chunk to the game but not with the sims 4 because pets and a weather system has to be separate.

    Now why are people throwing money at EA when they know this is a ludicrous money making scheme? it's because of the marketing. It has nothing to do with EA being EA. YouTubers are promoting this game the same way Ninja promotes Fortnite only difference being is that Epic's Fortnite is FREE and probably offers more fun to a consumer when comparing it to the sims 4. YouTuber's who promote the sims 4 get all the expansions from EA for free because they know that these opinion leaders will encourage their followers to buy the game and that's what it all boils down to. Then, because of the strength of these opinion leaders, their followers will anticipate the next money grabbing DLC that EA throws out to them because the opinion leaders are going to make a radical cool video expressing how excited they are for all the new features that their audience has to pay for while they get it for free.

    Even when YouTuber's criticise EA's money making schemes, the opinion leaders will of course, defend EA the same way that politicians defend companies involved in bad schemes.

    It is clear now that EA Is ruining the sims as a series and its gotten so bad that people are still playing the sims 3 and 2 even though they are no longer supported. They aren't ruining it through "forgetting to add Toddlers at base game", they are ruining it by being extremely greedy and somehow their marketing works. But if they make a next sims game, it will not make as many profits due to the amount of DLC available for this game and that fans will go into an uproar of buying the same old DLC all over again.    … Expand

    The developing team clearly cares only about the profit, not the content they are providing for a quite solid price. This lack of love and passion for their product is showing in everything: lackluster DLCs and an absence of details make a sloppy game overall.

    You can't officially change the language of the game. The game publisher assumes you only ever speak one language and want to play your games in one language only. The steam version doesn't seem to have a similar issue so if you want to pay a second time for a mediocre experience that's one way out of this impas.

    Worse than The sims 3 and that's for sure! Sims are too much stupid, too much just standing around somewhere, and they're always trying to communicate with someone they don't know, which looks strange. Still in the game is very, very boring.

No more mysticism, istria. empty generic NPCs dressing random clothes and looking awful, without history, there are no more NPCs and their dynasties of stories, there were Goths and died, there is nothing more after them, but it's ordinary to say nothing about ordinary NPCs, they are just dummies.    … Expand

    a good idea but horribly executed, likely i got mine through gamepass ultimate through EA desktop but the interface is completely and totally complicated. just trying to build a basement was like trying to control a nuclear reactor and requires you to watch a video on youtube about how to build a basement. it should work like this:

    the video didn't even help, it just confused me even more.

    likewise the sim's are basically robots. they don't do what they need to, surely if they need to go to the toilet or have some food they could do it themselves instead of me sending them a command. what's this i hear about "autonomy" and how the sims can run themselves, sometimes they will do things on their own, such as sleep... on the couch. despite there being a bed.

    i really wanted to like the sims. it would seem like my kind of game, a game where you didn't need to do much aside from upgrade the house and send commands to do more complicated things such as deciding what they will eat so when i tried it i only played a few hours before giving up.    … Expand

    EA is a vile Russian company. They are canceling the game set in Russia and the CIS countries, referring to supposedly laws that do not exist. This is just disgusting behavior! There are many LGBT people and those who support them in Russia and the CIS countries. To cancel this set in the CIS and Russia means to offend them all.

    While an enjoyable title that has been polished up and seems generally very modern, it cannot be expected that The Sims 4 is not going to be compared to The Sims 3. In this respect, it seems that while the game took a few steps forwards, it also took a few steps backwards by abandoning features that were very helpful and appreciated in the previous versions. It does have new features that people have been waiting for, such as emotions and more personality for the Sims. As for now, for some players it may not quite be worth to abandon The Sims 3 for it, but for new players looking for a first experience with the franchise, they may have an easier time navigating than former The Sims 3 players. People that have previously enjoyed the latter may be disappointed by the menus (Sim creation, building, or navigating town), as they have been so massively oversimplified that they are now actually confusing.

    The Sims 4 is just a foundation of a game. How would you react if you bought a new Elder Scrolls game and realized that half of the cities are unavailable (because TES6: World Adventures is around the corner), there are only 4 weapons (TES6: Accessories), you can’t ride horses (TES6: Pets), there are only 12 quests (TES6: Careers), 2 guilds (TES6: Friends) and 3 spells (TES6: Supernatural)?
