The Sims 4, more of the same?
I´ve been evading a lot of news around the Sims 4, mostly because I try not to get sucked into the hype around it. Eventhough there are a lot of negative comments out there where people accuse the Sims 4 of being the Sims 3.5 or just more more of the same stuff. This is nothing new though, because this is stuff I already heard about the Sims 2 and that one wasn´t exactly the same as the Sims!
So what´s so different about the Sims 4? From what I´ve learned so far things go much faster, which means building a sim and a house is now stuff you do by pulling and pushing objects or body parts with your mouse. This takes away a lot of menus and makes it easier to build things and less of a challenge, at the same time you can add new sims and houses with the click of a button on a page where everyone can share their creations. In the Sims 3 you had to install this from a different site but in the Sims 4 you can do this in the game while playing! You also have more personality in your sims, which means that when someone is sad they´ll walk different and not just have a different expression on their face. But you can also customize a lot of things like the way you walk and you make multiple outfits for you sims from the start, your sims will wear all of these outfits randomly so no more walking around in the same stuff without you having to change it manually! Also the world feels more alive, there are more sims active in public places and the areas look quite big!
It´s not the same as the Sims 3? Well there are things that are similar but why change something that is good? I did see that you have aspirations again. You also had this in the Sims 2 where you could take the path of knowledge, wealth, love and family to name some. Eventhough this isn´t new, they do build uit new traits that are connected to this aspiration you choose. Besides I like the aspirations from the Sims 2 and I missed that in the Sims 3. I can definately see that they´ve improved several features from the Sims 3, which means no more empty public areas and faster loading of areas.
But what about the add ons? Is it still the same deal as with the previous games where you constantly get the same stuff? I guess it is, because I didn´t see anything that looked like there is a university and I´m also missing the supernatural creatures and seasons in the Sims 4. So it wouldn´t surprise me if this will be added in add ons once more, it´s unfair but to be honest this is nothing new! But I doubt that this will keep many people from buying the Sims 4 because it looks awesome! I can definately see myself put a lot of hours in this game and that´s just figuring stuff out or trying some silly things. It´s not for everyone but if you like the Sims and love new things then this will probably be a fun game for you to play!
