Those are the positives for me:
- A super fluid game with a hyper-fast backup. I had not seen it since ... ever actually. The Sims 3 have not turned properly despite pc more than adequate, and Sims 2, at the time quickly became slow (although my setup at the time was rather poor). This is my most optimized eyes of all opus /
- The Sims creation mode is 1000 times easier, the design of sims is beautiful. Since the Sims 1, had never been a major innovation that side.
- The build mode of The Sims is 1000 times as practical, very fast to build a house a pretty minimum.
- Level gameplay, interactions are very neat, there are many, the animations are very well done and so much more funny. The emotional system fits well with the game. I also prefer the current career system where there is a little trouble unlike the Sims 3 or 2. Community grounds are quite populated, and that's cool.
- It has a lot of useful community lots. The bar, museum, gym, night clubs ... In The Sims 3 y'avait as rabbits holes and park in the basic game ...
- Not to mention the multi-tasking.
Now the negatives:
- The absence of toddlers. While I think that they will come soon ...
- The lack of "practical" items like dishwasher, telephone ... or services (repair, gardeners ...). I do not understand why they were removed ...
- The open world I do not care personally, Sim took a car to the park 30s, now it takes 10 s with a load of time. There's no noticeable difference in the end.
In short, contrary to most reviews, I find that the game is really worth something and is a very good basis for the future. Because do not forget, the Sims 3 also had a basic game, and compare Sims 3 + addons Sims 4, I do not find that very objective ^^ '.
