Whatever happened to The Sims?

EA

It still exists, but in a limbo state. Sims 4 is just so barebones and regressive compared to Sims 3 that most people just gave up on the franchise.

So what happened? Because I still play sims 3 sometimes

Micro-transactions everywhere, lack of content and general interest dwindling ensures that the game is now dying at a steady pace.

I recently started playing Sims 4 and its okay. Just okay.

The price of expansions is almost the perfect argument for piracy out of principle, they never seem to add enough content to justify the price. The disappearance of the create a style tool is frustrating.

The main theme of 4 is adding features whilst taking other things away. They have tidied up and streamlined interactions however - it is nice to be able to order a drink and have a conversation at the same time for instance.

My main thing is adding in custom content that makes bitches look sexier, then getting my rocks off as my character engages in hot yuri action with any attractive female sims I encounter.

At least you can actually play Sims 4. Sims 3 is just a loading time simulator.

They got uglier with every game after 2

I have noticed that Sims 4 is so much better in the loading time department. Things such as traveling to other neighborhoods takes no time, and bringing someone along is easy as you don't have to try and get their dumb ass to try and navigate there. Being able to hover over a family profile is also nice to be able to track the motherfuckers down.

sex mods

The sims 5 face will be fucking spherical at this rate.

damn... sims in sims 3 are really ugly as fuck. Sims 4 probably has the best looking sims.

Why are you confused?

game peaked at 3. 4 introduced a lot of great features, while stripping away some of the best things about 3. neighborhoods a shit, and waiting this damn long for them to re-introduce all the dlc crap is making me not want to play.

seriously, one of the best things about the sims is building your comfy home, putting together your perfect family, and watching them maximum comfy while it snows outside.

heads like a fucking orange

most comfy is creating a house with 5 dudes that all play music (in my headcanon they are a band) and then seeing their ups and downs. Sometimes two of them fuck, sometimes they hate each other. Sometimes they have to sell parts of the house because their career isnt going so well.

The Sims Medieval is the best one.

sounds like a teen disney show

EA are currently shitting themselves with bigger AAA games and probably won't allow for any money to be funneled to this niche game.

Where the fuck are my goddamn seasons I want to have comfy fall and winter activities

Nah, castaway

>winter
>can't even season with my sims
feels bad. wanted to decorate with christmas lights and watch them cozy in front of the fireplace with cups of coco.

4 was so bad that all goodwill and love for the series died because of EA's jewing.
