Greed Ruined The Sims

The Sims 4 is run by Landgraab family.

STOP GIVING EA YOUR MONEY🗣️‼️

Something that Sims 3 nostalgia babies need to remember (me included) is that this greed 100% started with the Sims 3. There's a literal premium currency to get overpriced microtransactions. So yes, the Sims 3 is a good and complete game. Is it much better in the topic of "greed"? Not at all.

As long as casual players continue buying this game it'll never get better.

A big differencr between Sims 2-3 and Sims 4. None of them had base games. Sims 1, 2, and 3 were all built to be GAMES. Full experiences for anyone regardless of their ability to purchase expansions. Expansions weren’t even an intention of Sims 1 as Will Wright was struggling just to see the idea of the game itself to a publisher. Even with expansions being a thing by Sims 2 & 3 both games without expansions are full game experiences. Without DLC. Expansion packs for them were truly game expanders on an already great game.

An important thing to note: maxis was dissolved in 2013. Sims 4 is TECHNICALLY a maxis game, but is for all intents and purposes the first fully EA sims games. Sims 1 and 2 were both simply published by EA, while sims 3 was mostly maxis with EA sticking its toes in outside of publishing (the store, maxis having to fight to have their name on launch etc). Why does this matter? It’s not the first time a large, money hungry corp eats up and buys a smaller developer. Devs who care are replaced for “cheaper” alternatives IE overworked and underpaid new hires who don’t know about lore or frankly care. Can you blame them? With prices nowadays the developers need to eat too. The problem runs much deeper than just gameplay- there’s a societal problem. I hope the next couple of years we see more indie devs sticking it to these mega corps. A truly good game can NOT be made without passion

Omniburg: talks about TS1 Also omniburg: shows footage from TS2 😭😭

I can't believe there are people who will still defend the sims 4

Yesterday I heard Life By You was cancelled, what you expose here is one of the main reasons why I find that very worrysome. EA NEEDS competition on The Sims, to show it, that Sims games can be done better and for people to have other options. I have seen a lot of movement to move away from The Sims, which means they still have a fan base but only because the Sims is the only big life simulation game in the market.

something that people don't give enough credits to the Sims 3 is how clean and beautiful it's aesthetics are, even if it's graphics today aged very bad those are still the peak of beauty in The Sims franchise. the Sims 3 had perfect anatomy system for all sim creatures, better hair system, perfect illumination based on biome and climate accuracy, clean water and fire, and not that much cartooniness like in the Sims 4, just naming a few. You can take a random screenshot in any landscape of the Sims 3 and that's a good wallpaper.

I can’t WAIT until the sims has real competition. I truely hope paralives, life by you, or what have you really makes EA’s pockets hurt. Because my spite has made me never want to touch the sims again after they sucked the love and passion out of my favorite game.

Me this whole video: "SAY IT LOUDER FOR THE PEOPLE IN THE BACK!!!!!"

the fact that I actually uninstalled it from my computer for the first time ever... says a lot. I have played all iterations since 2001, consistently. Now, the thought of the Sims at all makes me mad

this is why I'm a pirate 😂😂😂

Adding to your engagement, and also fact checking that having kids was a Sims 1 base game feature, and did not actually come with Livin' Large (having kids by "woohoo" in the heart bed that came with Livin Large did, however. Without the pack, you could still have kids by performing enough romantic interactions).The only major DLC features from Sims 1 that were added into the Sims 2 Base Game include community lots and shopping, which came with the Sims 1 Hot Date and/or Unleashed, as well as throwing a house party, that came with Sims 1 House Party. Other notable Sims 1 DLC features that shipped with the Sims 2 Base Game are arguably Woohoo and certain romantic interactions from Hot Date, although in the Sims 1, it wasn't known as Woohoo. Certain gameplay or decorative items and careers from The Sims 1 like Telescopes and the slacker career from Livin' Large (and alien abductions), or the Buffet Table from House Party, among several others, also shipped with the Sims 2 Base Game. Totally new, and much more significant gameplay concepts that came with the Sims 2 Base Game and many of which have lasted to this day include aging and 5 life stages, death by old age, days of the week, private school, proper wedding parties, birthday parties, anniversaries, pregnancy, neighbourhood creation/decoration, the ability to place lots, family trees and genetics, the ability to create unique faces in CAS with seperate hairstyles and outfits, outfit categories like sleepwear, active wear, formal and swimwear, cooking different dishes for breakfast lunch, dinner and dessert, building foundations, multi-storey homes including basements, different roofing types with placeable roofing, randomly, playable aliens, and of course lifetime aspirations, milestones and memories as well as wants and fears, along with a host of other purely aesthetic features including things like being a fully 3D game. That's just the base game. The leap from Sims 1 to 2 is truly remarkable, and many features available in the Sims 2 Base Game are not available in the Sim 4, like custom neighbourhoods, or were patched in after launch like toddlers, or put into later DLC, like baby changing tables, of all things.

I have 2.5k hours logged into the sims 3, and I have no intention of switching to 4, EVER. I’ve tried it out (pirated) with all of the expansions, and it felt like a cardboard cut out. Especially the sims itself, the don’t feel as alive and unique. With all the traits and the ability to dye anything any way I want, I have the opportunity to create something perfectly unique for each sim. My current sim is a witch, who does all the traditional witch stuff in the sims 3, but she is also a scene kid, obsessed with zebra print and neons, and only in the sims 3 could I achieve a sim as unique as that!

I started playing Sims 2 Ultimate Collection and never looked back. I wish Sims 2 lasted longer we could get even more expansion packs to our collection.

Grew up with Sims 2 and 3? I grew up with Sims 1 and how hard that game was. I would say The Sims peaked at 2, back then the game was still made with love, allot of details and it run rather well. Sims 3 wasn't bad but it was in some ways a downgrade from 2. The worst part about Sims 4 is that some of the quality of life improvements are really good, it makes the older games feel a bit slow and clunky and Sims 2 is a nightmare to get running on newer computers. What I wouldn't do for a remaster of Sims 2 and 3.

RIP Life By You
