A slap in the face

The Sims 4 - Collectors Edition (exclusive to Amazon.de) (computer game)

Customer Review

Okay ....

I'm really not a great writer reviews, but here it really needs to be done once (even if there are many reviews that represented my opinion ...)
Three things first:
1) I have the game now played just three days, and only afterwards read other reviews, so I write all in my view.
2.) I had to get used to Sims 3 also problems, but that struck me as compared to Sims 4, Child's play ....
3.) I belong to the 'old hands', I play the Sims series intensely since the first part, have all the add-on of each game, and have already spent a lot of time really in the various Sims universes.

So, I start times with my review of Sims 4!

I also have the Collector's Edition, which was 99.99 already pretty hard to swallow, but I thought, here comes a new part of my beloved Sims, then I want it to have most possible in the Best Version.
I have pre-ordered over a year ago, just after the appointment was for pre-out. One year I have the release contrary feverish uuuuuund ....
All in vain!
When I opened my package, I noticed the same green box contrary, when I took my treasure, I was skeptical at first, so I looked again, if I had not missed something, finally, I had paid just under 100 in the package.
Emptiness ....
So the green thing more thoroughly examine:
The Plumbob USB ..... thing ... I find really cute! And when I found out that it reflects the different moods of the Sims, I was absolutely thrilled!
The Storybook now has not captivated me soo ....
Yes, and that's it .... at least the visible part.
I ended up doing only once accepted so because I wanted to play now at last!
Since the first blow came in the face:
"Around the Sims will install 4 Origin requires" (my wording)
I'm actually totally against Origin, I did not want to have !!!!
Now I buy a offline game and be forced me to install this stupid program because otherwise play with nothing Sims.
Then came for me personally is equal to the next slap in the face:
For my offline game I need INTERNET to downloading my Origin. Only stupid, that with me the LAN port is durchgebrutzelt, and I had no Internet.
(My dad then lent me his wireless adapter, so that I could install it)
Okay so far so good, downloaded Origin and forcibly created me an account, so that also can look looking good, what I so down load games for me or else.
I was so happy when finally everything worked and I was able to play.
Since I personally extremely happy to make Sims I've been looking forward to the riiiiieeeesig Sim-Create
In Sim magazine stood so that you can completely customize your Sims now.
So have immediately went to work.
And there also came already the third slap in the face:
To me this means "individual figures" that I have the opportunity to gestallten hairstyles and clothes INDIVIDUALLY!
I was actually with the body shaper on cloud nine, and then when I went to the clothes I experienced a crash landing as it appears in the book ....
How should I miss my Sims a customized look, if I can only choose from what felt like three garments per group, where I can use only about five colors? How should I put my Sim nicely for me when for example "knows" not equal to "white"? Sometimes it is a gray white, sometimes bluish, sometimes a radiant.
I was really disappointed as well with the hairstyles!
I had my initial difficulties with Sims 3, but that were really innovations that have inspired me! It has given me soooo much fun to think about how my Sims look like the clothes fit together. Based on these choices, the character of my Sims has already formed in my mind.
And when Sims 4?
It must have felt like when I would just create a NPC irrelevant ...
I was very disappointed and felt cheated ....?
That the various gaits I found astray cool and funny xD
I also enjoyed the individual (Yes, much to the Statement "In Sims 4 Post your Sims even more individually create") personality traits (favorite color, favorite music, favorite food etc.) missing. That was really cute. And I have set for Sims 3, my Sims afterwards. If the favorite color is green, then they also had at least a little green, and when it is only the jewelry! But I digress ....

When I my Sim then more bad than good 'finished' had, I wanted to let you move into the 'city'. And I thought so: "Where am I going for them collected ?! Here in this village, everything is so full!" After I had yet found a booth, I once played around a bit.
I must say that I find it totally cool that you dress for every group has five different clothing combinations that the Sim also change independently.
I think that's extremely positive!
After I had the procedure a little under control, then I have made myself to the partner for my Simdame.
From the Create I've this time also nothing great promise, even if I miss the opportunities of Sims 3 painful!
I let him move in opposite, and wanted the men with my sweet visit times. Since then I have noticed that they can not move freely!
That was shock nummero 4!
It occurred spontaneously "throwback" to mind. That's what I really liked in Sims 3 that one can follow his Sim in the world. And here? Not even to his neighbors you can go!
If one morning to work you have to disappear on ominously and mysteriously emerged after the eight hours before the doorstep again!
What is bugging me right that you can access anything from the personal bar (Bedürfnüsse, labor, inventory, etc.) when Chérie is at work.
That with the progress bar has me so annoyed that I have very quickly let contract.
In my Simmann, I'm even gone to the developers really on the glue.
(Note, we are approaching shock number five xD)
I gave him the property or rather the desire bodybuilders, and wanted to find a suitable job for him so he can indulge in his passion fully.
So unsheathed the phone and called job thingy:
I've seen the list, but found nothing suitable, up there "Job openings" is, I thought that it would probably similar to that of Sims 2 a day later give other job offers.
Nope.
So I again viewed the job list accurate. And I just found anything suitable for the poor man ... Did I then just for something decidedly ...
Because I felt really cheated.
The game of my favorite game series, which I've been waiting over a year for which I have paid almost 100, and what is offered to me?
- Less clothes, hairstyles, etc.
- Absolutely no color palette, pattern, individual figures
- Rückschrittige Ladebalken
- A microscopic 'city'
- Less personality
- A small and not versatile job selection
- Is not access needs etc. during the Sim at work
- No free world = throwback
And that's just the summary of the brief impression I had as only won.

It annoys me also that the relationship bar to go back so fast!
It is, in my opinion, anyway totally clamped with the work and the needs that little remains for play space, then you do not have the time to constantly dachshunds friends afterwards. Since you times three days did not time for the best friend and the next meeting, it is as if you never knew and the whole game starts all over again ...

The interactions between the Sims are very cool again. I like the different reactions, also I like that you have to be not just statically for each other to talk.
I also think it's good that you can talk to more than one person at the same time.
Although sometimes very strange behaviors are applied to the day through this new feature ...
The Sim is an example in the living room and eat while the other Sim comes straight from the top and go to the treadmill.
When a Sim toils at the treadmill, is the first Sim, with his plate, arises by and eats ...
Just so you can while talking?
I mean I think it's really cool and somehow sweet that Sims sometimes on their own approach each other and seek contact with partners on its own, but which I find strange ....
Even the one time, there sits a Sim at the table and eats while the other Sim in the kitchen which manufactures to food, making the first Sim? Gets up and goes to his plate into the kitchen, then they are stupid because both rum and chatting, while both are in the kitchen and eat ... Why can a Sim not sit and wait until the other does this happen?
Mysterious ....

I like the design of the Sims totally happy! So the faces of her and you can see the reactions on their faces. So in itself I find the comic style really nice.
That's what I missed at Sims 3! The design of the Sims I did not like so much. Many hairstyles looked straggly
and fuzzy from ... The legs always looked like Stampfer from which head was somehow always huge, generally worked the Sims very stocky ...
On the other hand I like the Sims 4 Sims-style (xD) really like!
The construction menu I also good in itself. I think it's great that you can easily zoom in or out the rooms and not have to do everything new again. I also like the fact that you can move the whole premises, and the whole house.
The catalog I find very clearly that the finished room like me well.
The search function I find divine!
But there are little things totally !!!!
What frustrates me most is that my Sims also had to suffer a technical step backwards.
Hello? Why the hell THERE IS NO DISH ????
What helps one the most beautiful and clearest build menu, if there is nothing you can build?

So. Now I tick off the feelings.
So I must say, the feelings I had a little jitters ....
I read in a report that the moods you have to keep in mind always because a Sim can annoy even to death.
I thought it would really introduced a nuisance, constantly as a union nut can run after my Sims to see if the small are just stubborn, and do what mom about it.
But I find it is not as bad as I thought.
Most of the moods are very cool and helpful and even if they are sometimes tense or angry you get the fast back together and each of us has a bad day sometimes, so why not?
And the Plumbob suitable lights for that I find totally cool xD

There are countless other small and great things that annoy me, I COOL or odd find, but all in all I can say:
I am a die-hard fan really disappointed that you have a grandiose game series trimmed so that playing itself is rather frustrating than making fun.
You just missed too much.
I have just read some reviews and some have felt called Sims 4 demo version and I can really just connect ...
It really anything but finished, and I'm also pretty sure that you would with pay downloads (What you will otherwise compelled to Origin?) And overpriced add-ons tries to make playable.
But since I do not play with.
Since I prefer to play Sims. 3
And now that there are Sims 4, I have what Sims 3 concerns a distinct advantage: I can finally reveal all the secrets of the various add-ons at your leisure without being rushed, that already the next appear in three months.
I hope that there is still more honest players out there that do not be guided by the quantity but by one's own opinion and so the developers time food for thought there.

For those who have read my review until the end: respect!
If I ever write something that is unfortunately becoming a Roman ....

I wish you happy playing and have the Sims 4 already acquired at all: Try to make the most of it !!
