Come On EA, I should have the right to drown children in pool in games of my choosing, How dare you take that away!
But seriously, the Hell? o_0

Clearly you never thought of placing a fence around the pool.MetalMagpie said:
OT: I don't play the sims, my Mother does and when I told her this she said "Because EA".
It's obvious.
So lets break down all the things they have removed so far from Sims 3 to Sims 4:
1. No Create a Style - For me this already a massive deal breaker, how the hell can you remove what is easily the best feature about Sims 3? Being able to give every single thing a unique texture or style to match your vision of a home or town is one of the most powerful customization systems ever put into a game period, and you take it away????
2. No open world - So now we have to go through more loading screens just to go to the store or visit sims that live across town...fantastic /s. there will also be fewer lots per world, I believe the number was 25 according to the forums.
3. No color wheel in Create a Sim or Lot building - pretty self explanatory, you will be limited in what colors you choose for clothes, hair and building.
4. No Pools - DLC bait no doubt about it.
5. No Toddlers - I can actually live with this because really there wasn't much game play for them if you didn't have generations but I do love the toddler stage and hate to see it go.
For me what I love about the sims is the customization and world building, being able to make a customized world and play it out is what I enjoy most. If you take away the customization then it really just becomes a dating simulator and I guess thats ok for those that enjoy only that but its really not much of a world simulation at all anymore but just a game. If I can't create a custom built town and then populate it with sims you have essentially removed all aspects of what made the game special for me.
This truly is the age of the decline with the Sims.

To anyone who thinks that Sims players will mindlessly buy up anything that EA squeezes from its corporate butt cheeks, then just take a look at the comments on the source post: users are genuinely angry at these omissions from the game.
To add to the disappointment, Create-a-style (CASt) won't be included either, nor will there be seamlessly transitioning worlds as in Sims 3. This is a really, really bad move from them, and rather than explain honestly why they aren't including these features, they've just stuffed their announcements in with some other news (maybe to soften the blow?). I was disillusioned with the series before, on account of the endless reset status of each new entry (Sims 4 will have much, much less content than Sims 3 with EPS), but now I really won't be buying it.

so a swimming pool DLC and toddler DLC in the works. WHAT THE FUCK KINDA CRAP IS THIS lol how can they not include stuff from older games.....kinda the point of new installments right ? is it not?
They will lie about this for ages saying its not possible to get it all in the game but we know better to buy that kinda EA bullshit. And months later after the shitstorm they play all stupid. I mean ffs did they not just agree they kinda fucked up with Dungeon Keeper. They prob simply dont have enough time to finish the game before EA wants a game to sell. PLus break down a game for DLC.

So basically, Sims 4 is going to be Sims 3 with better graphics and less content. I should care about this game why?
Let's place our bets, ladies and gentlemen:
Bet 1 - even more content trimmed out to show up as DLC later down the line
Bet 2 - even more game breaking bugs that never get fixed (unless you count player-made patches and work arounds)
Bet 3 - will set new piracy records for the Sims games
My money is on all of the above!

Oh boy. Maxis, what happened to you? You used to be cool.
Could you imagine if any other company in any other industry restricted the function of their product further with every release? This is unacceptable. It's time to move past the Sims and Simcity, maybe if they both do abysmal this time around Maxis might get the hint. I mean, no toddlers? They are literally taking out an entire stage of Sim development. They are willingly going backwards?
Sometimes, video games, sometimes I don't know why I love you so much.

Impossible is the wrong word. There's nothing physically stopping them from doing it. I think the word he was looking for was unprofitable.
Yes because BioWare's done so well [http://s2.quickmeme.com/img/d8/d884b8c8bac556a84605642b778d4cbcf7f640dae27a0044fc58a3e6cd05515a.jpg] with the RPG's they have [http://www.rockpapershotgun.com/images/11/march/da/da0.jpg] and all that.

Whether or not it's possible to "include every feature", you can bet your ass it's possible to include the freaking basics of a Sims game.
Sheesh.
Sheesh.
weather or not you like Bioware RPG's (and you know I'm not about to rush out and buy the next thing they produce meyself) or weather or not its reasonable to expect people not to buy games is beside my pointPr0 said:
my point being that Bethesda and Bioware games are not interchangeable because they take VASTLY different approaches...
which ok might be a bit nit picky but...yeah
Dear Christ, I hadn't heard half of this. D:Coreless said:
They took out everything they ADVERTISED for Sims 3! They've officially lost a purchase unless they put all this stuff back in via DLC and they release a "mega-bundle".
