My understanding is the The Sims 4 was originally going to be a Sims MMO style game. After Sim City flopped they scrapped that idea and turned it into a single player game, but the foundation had already been set up in a way the critically limited it. Even graphically it was only a side-grade (I think downgrade personally) from The Sims 3, but 3 could do so much more since it was designed to be a single player game. If you haven't played 3, I'd give it a go. It's so much better than what 4 can ever be. I'd say hoist the black flag though, because fuck supporting that company. Your money is better given to someone else who cares about their workers and their passions.
