In the way of Open Neighborhoods Sims 4 gave us the worst compromise possible between the "no control" version of Sims 3 and the "lots of loading screens" in Sims 2, and continues to encourage an one family play-style.


heheh sims 4 has done well in teaching me body positivity and body acceptance with all my portly sims running around. It has the effect of making me more comfortable in my own skin. I play all the sims games differently, and try to adapt my playstyle to the strengths of the games to enjoy them all. I will admit that I spend the most time playing sims 4, the hours are staggering

If I rightly recall, back in the early days of Sims4 we had a hilarious happening where our Sims in play would easily gain a lot of weight. That was soon mended. I do prefer seeing Sims of all shapes and sizes which is something I really like about 4.

I'm one of those players who likes to live vicariously through my sims and try to have them lead successful lives, but I can understand why others like to do the opposite.

Personally I don't intentionally fuck things up until I get bored and want to see somebody die

I think I had a pregnant sim in 2 drop dead as she would not take care of her needs on her own. And I had a few kids almost expire as nanny's ignored them. Parents would come home and they were so far in the red it was crazy!

I had one pool death in 3, but I fenced him in. (!)

I was going to write a better reply but... What does that even have to do with anything?

Also, no matter if any one particular person likes or dislikes that change, the point is that it takes away choice and agency from the player in a game that is supposed to be a sandbox game without any possibility to prevent or opt against it.

All I'm really asking for is for the game not to touch my household Sims after I deactivate the "Aging" and "Story Progression" buttons.
