Simmer 4 Life

Random Sims Musings 4-9-15: Sims 4 Edition

It's been awhile blah blah blah.  Nobody reads this things but here we are anyway.  Time to muse.

I've had The Sims 4 since early December and I've played with it.  And the reviews were right.  It's okay for what it is.  It's a Sims game and I like it but I don't love it.  There's too much stuff missing and while it's not hard, the game play is annoying.  The interface is too hard to use.  Hate the lack of an open world.  Too many sims just randomly walking around.  I miss CASt.  Nothing matches.  I hate the bill system.  The game looks weird.

But I don't hate it.  I hate parts of it just not the whole thing.  Doesn't have to make sense, it's how it is.

Final word is that the new packs they're adding look fun and do add stuff to the gameplay.  I just can't justify spending the money on a game I just don't love.  Maybe in another year or so when there's more to do.

Right now I'm sticking with Sims 3.  More specifically The Goth family.  As always though I'm still a Simmer 4 Life!

Go 4th and Sim!

So it's April

That means it's time to put up a post with promises to write and share more often.  Okay consider it done.  Until next time!

Go 4th and Sim!

Simmer 4 Life!

Down with clowns!

15 Years Ago Today...

So began my obsession with the little pixelated people called Sims.  Not once did I ever think I'd be sticking with something for 15 years and still love it as much as I did that first day.  I couldn't even imagine that there would be not just a 2nd version but now up to a 4th version.  It's gotten me through some tough times.  What fun it is to create this perfect little world where the biggest problem is not making it to the toilet on time!

Going back to SimCity I've been playing some sort of Sim game for over half my life.  Playing video games since I was a teenager which I guess isn't such a big thing nowadays but these were the days of Pong and the Atari 2600.  Moved on to the PC about 1991, discovered SimCity and besides my SNES haven't played much besides Sim games.  I even bought a PS2 just to play The Sims when my computer couldn't handle Sims 1 anymore.

I'll end this here before I got into a Grandpa Simpson like speech.  I just want to say that I am a Simmer for life.  I can see myself playing some version of this game for as long as it's around and as long as I can.  And that's just what I'm going to do right now.  Show my Simmies some loving.

Go 4th and Sim!
