    They destroy everything good. Sims studio. Bioware, who in all fairness bought in back before EA was so blatantly terrible.

    Not sure who is churning out the latest Sims crap given the lack of studio for it. 3 was thoughtful and had fun CAD software. 4 is crap, with no CAD.

    Maybe there will be a new AI produced ME installment. I’m sure it’ll be top notch.

      Sims 3 was for people who make train dioramas. Sims 4 was for people who play with doll houses

        There was no town building in 3, but there was an integrated CAD software, full tweeks in colors and decor. In essence, I think it probably was like constructing dollhouses. The new one seems more like a phone app game. Not sure what the appeal is, but I’m glad it was only $5.

          There was town building you had to use their sims world builder tool which was almost exclusively how i played.

          After I was done I would go in the world and watch all my little ants go to their jobs and what not.

          Sims 4 on the other hand was just a doll house sim.

        And yet some of BioWare’s best games came out in 2007-2012 or so.

        Then in 2012 the founders quit
