March 7, 201412 yr comment_665510 I've played it for a while, but it tended to become too much like RL: work, eat, sleep, piss your pants and clean the place up. Report

March 7, 201412 yr comment_665539 I used to play it years ago. Stopped playing when I realized I had been doing almost the same thing in Sims 2, but with less content than what I had in the Sims 2 (Addons weren't out yet). EA also turned me off to the series because its become one big money pit. Release new sims game, make bazillion addonds and expansion packs and overcharge on them. Remake same game with better graphics and charge more money, but with way less content, make players rebuy that content in a bazillion more addons and expansion packs. Then repeat. Mods are basically the way to go if you want to get enjoyment out of the series without breaking the bank. Report

Sims 3 offered a more open world that happened in real time (Sims 2 was actually supposed to have that). And they were some other minor changes besides updated graphics. It did suffer from some bad performance issues though and was buggy. And a couple features were removed which had been Sims 2. In the end it just didn't seem like a worthwhile improvement. Sims 4 looks like it has something good to bring to the table. More in depth characters and emotions. Environment will have more of an affect on your Sims actions. Report

Sounds like it is becoming too much like RL... even more so. Report
