Yea I am just not feeling Sims 4 at all, sitting on Sims 3 with 5 expansions I just don't see a reason at all to move to buy Sims 4. The whole emotion thing is just not that big a leap like they try to make it out to be, and with all the features they have removed it feels more like 2 but with way less features. With EA giving away Sims 2 Ultimate recently it gives me even less incentive to get 4 because its quite clear after playing Sims 2 just how far Sims 4 has fallen.

It looks alright, but so did Sims 3. The real question is have they learned from past mistakes and made a game that doesn't grind to a halt when you start adding custom content to it?
I heard that the reason Sims 3 had such a huge performance issue was that you could create custom textures for your furniture and walls and stuff and since the game constantly had to check those texture files it slowed down to a crawl once there were really really many files to check. Also, the open world was apparently a huge issue.
Thats pretty much it, the create a style tool is incredibly powerful for creating unique homes and clothes but at the expense that your PC is going to feel it when you have to constantly render hundreds of different textures even when just idling. looking at Sims 4 at most you will only see 2 or more other homes outside your lot to render and that will dramatically increase the performance, Sims 3 was constantly reloading everything from cars, pets, weather to sims on the other side of town (if you have the expansions). Even with the performance issues I absolutely loved watching the town going about its business in Sims 3, it really made it feel like a world and not just a game, I just don't know if I can go back to Sims 2 style lot system again, it just felt so cut off to only show one lot at a time.
