I'm extremely excited for the sims 4.
When I first saw the CAS trailer where it showed cultural diversity, body manipulation, and things like disconnected hats and boots over pants, I was already into the sims 4. When I saw the build mode trailer, I was head-over-heels, because I am really bad at building (I end up using blueprints a lot.
) The day after, I had pre-ordered the digital deluxe version through Origins.
I love how they are planning on making it run on multiple types of computers. I only have a laptop because I need a computer that can be mobile, but it lags a little on multi-generation games in sims 3. I'm hoping that that won't be the case in the sims 4 since it's usable on lower end computers!
I was a little upset when I found out there would be no toddlers, but I usually end up aging them up as soon as they are taught anyways. I actually never cared for CAST that much, since it only made my game lag more, and I would spend hours in CAS to make everything color coordinated. It was always faster to just use a pre-set option. As for pools, I never really used them anyways, and actually got bugged when in one of my ISBI's, the uncontrollable sims would go swim until they almost drowned.
What I really hate though, isn't about the game itself. It's all of the negative comments and replies that are on a bunch of the forums I have read to find out about new sims 4 things. In fact, it was reading those comments that made me down about the game for a few days, not the fact that we wouldn't have toddlers, CAST, or pools. This forum is a safe haven, that is for sure.
Over all, I can't wait. Since I got the pre-order on origins, I can do the pre-load on August 29th, which means right after classes on September 2nd, I can install and play! I'm tempted to play the CAS demo when it comes out, but I think I'm going to wait until I have the full game, so that I get the full experience when I first play. I want to meet Bella and Mortimer Goth!
My real question is, what time period is this game in compared to the other sims games. Sims 3 is about fifty years before sims 2, and sims is only like twenty years behind sims 2, but with Bella and Mortimer being Adults (Young Adults?) in this game, is it basically the same time zone as sims? I'm really interested to see that, and find out if there are any other recurring characters in Willow Creek from previous games!
Sorry for the long post, but a lot of things I wanted to say that I didn't dare say on other forums for the fear that I would get called dumb for being too 'positive'.
