I've been a sims fan since Sims 1 came out on GameCube. I've been dying for them to have competition. I played the game Day 1 and the CAS is beautiful.. everything is customizable on the face which I love.
The gameplay itself is a let down for $40.. feels like just the base game and I understand there's updates coming. But I find it very boring compared to Sims and has a long way to go.
Very repetitive can't visit other neighborhoods, a lot of jobs are rabbit holes, school is rabbit hole, etc.. needs more little things to do.
