Honestly, this game has been a pretty big letdown. I miss the neighborhood customization (lot placement, decor, etc) that you had in TS2 and the free-roaming of TS3. They took both of those things and got rid of them entirely. TS3 had way better customization for items, building, etc. You can straight-up change materials on say a couch and you were given a color wheel to change it to exactly whatever color you want.
I really hate seeing a loading screen when I just want to go visit my neighbor. I hate seeing a "drawn" neighborhood.
It's like we're back to the technical limitations of the PS2 again or something.
EA what are you doing?
