The Sims fandom: whether The Sims 4 is a good game or not. Some love it and it’s the only Sims game they play; others hate it and it’s the only one they don't play. It’s very divisive. Personally, I love 2, 3, and 4 equally, though I've never played the original.
The original is my fav simply for the vibes. The music is great, the graphics are charming and the gameplay is simple and fun. Great expansion pack content too. I still have all the original CD copies from when I was a kid.
Sims 4 is a good game (though not as good as 2 or 3) but it's a bad experience due to shitty monetization practices like microtransactions.
And personally I was very disappointed that "we're getting rid of sliders" just meant getting rid of them visually, not the actual slider mechanics.
Pretty sure I still have 10GB of custom content for Sims 2 on my backup drive. I used to play it so much it took 15 minutes to load due to the sheer amount of mods lol.
Sims 2. 4 It’s a bit too complex and realistic for me. I like the very simple models and ideas behind the older games.
I've only played Sims 3 and 4. 4 has way better mods, while 3 has better gameplay.
I preferred Sims2, but 1 had a lot of charm. It was charming.
Did you know Sims 4 has certain low-tier items be less performant to ensure players buy more DLCs? Alsp I think early paychecks are smaller too, but that maybe art imitating life.
That said, theoretically it was harder to survive in 2.
I was a massive SIMS2 player. When Sims3 came out and my dude walked away from the wall with the phone and sat on the couch I flipped my shit. Finally can increase social workout comfort going to hell. Haha
