Circuit D

This game has lacked depth from inception and pales in terms of game play from it predecessors with sims 2 in my opinion having the best game play value. Sims 3 was too glitchy, but did get points for open world and incredible customization. Sims 4 only selling point is build mode and some aspects of cas. It’s a beautiful shell of its former glory. I can write a book on what is wrong with it. It has been butchered in game play and now riddled with issues and glitches. The newest addition to sims 4 “wedding stories” doesn’t work in 80% of its design. It glitches during game play as many additions before it. But this time issues are more the game addition then the wedding stories are. What do you expect when the game has little quality assurance. They have cut their quality control employees and quality was the problem to begin with. ea slashing its budget compounds the already existing issues like Simulation lag, lack of animations, poor emotional system, slashed interactive play, decreased world interactions are just a few issues. Add terrible tuning and uncontrollable bad design and now lack of quality control and you got yourself a wonderful game idea that has been beaten and broken by incompetent management. That rating is over blown. Even without playing the previous sims games I do not believe this is a good game. Simply it is a broken mess of errors and tuning issues. The only thing that saves it is the vast modding and custom content community. These are free addition made by individuals, who do not work for EA yet actually make sims 4 work as well as improve it.
