    Great upgrade to gameplay and the game engine.

    The first thing I notice when I started playing was just how natural all the sims interactions are now. The sit, stand, drink and eat all while having conversations. They can work out and converse or sit on the bed together and talk all at the same time. It's a total reworking of the task oriented sims in the past. The old Sims games feel quickly obsolete. That being said, I appreciate the revamping of the sims, but their quickly needs to be followup to fill in the missing venues, objects, pools, etc. The world is small now, but it can grow a lot more than the Sims 3 worlds. In the sims 3 the world was limited to the single map. In the Sims 4 each expansion will be able to link to all the existing neighborhoods so you virtually have an unlimited size world. The Sims 3 was alway frustrating cause you ran out of lots so quickly. I'm giving it 5 star because even though its a basic base game, the change in direction has a huge amount of potential. You just keep finding so many things that make it new and more fun to play.

      Free Stuff Helps but Still Not The Game Fans Are Looking For! 0

      *Updated to reflect changesWhen you play the Sims 4 you can see the quality in the way characters move and behave. The game can be fun at times, but ends up being frustrating more often. Simple things you took for granted in previous versions are just not here! The savvy gamer is left disappointed and used by the EA profit model of "release less and less content with every sequel and micro-transaction it". The free items released are cool but not enough to warrant any excitement at all. The Sims...
