  • Hey! Been a while and I'm sure everyone can't wait to be done with school but here we are. This is a brief take on the evolution of school in The Sims and ohh boy, is school very complex. There's lots of little aspects I didn't include here and I'm sure you're all gonna tell me stuff I didn't know but I think I covered the basics well enough.
    So what's your take on school? It's one of those things I'm almost sure every player experiences at some point and to me it was always kinda like the background thing, I'm always busier making the kids learn skills so I learned a few things here and there.
    My opinion?
    Sims 1 is just the base, as always, I feel like it was the hardest and the easiest at the same time just because of how easy it is to earn and lose grades, as far as gameplay goes it's...there.
    Sims 2 having weekdays and homework made the whole difference, kids actually take breaks and the player is more involved with school work, as far as extras go, I loved private school, it doesn't do much but it's a fun minigame which I always played.
    Sims 3, or I should say generations, was quite packed with content, most of it is a little shallow cause half of the cool stuff they introduced like proms, pranks and graduations, are just things that are hidden inside a rabbithole, but hey, it's still nice. On a little note, the grounded feature is broken and I don't understand why they didn't fix it... at least in my game?
    Sims 4 to me is a clear downgrade so far, maybe it's because of my first impression which was them taking the iconic bus out, but it's been almost 7 freaking years and the school experience has barely been improved, you can gain values while at school with parenthood, the addition of school projects was very cool, I like that they ask you to get new skills cause it can be useful later on and I obviously love that kids who did better can start a career at a higher level, but everything else? It's just alright.
    So in this my order goes Sims 3, Sims 2, Sims 4 and Sims 1 just because of the extra features, the core gameplay is very similar in most games if you ask me, but that's just my opinion. Let me know what you think and I'll see you on the next one, I'm still debating if it will be Gnomes or something else.

    What I miss in the sims 4 that were in the sims 3 :
    - kids recognising their step parents
    - Sims recognising their family in law
    - Being able to choose the colour I want my clothes, hair, objects etc … to be
    - Being able to go on a ride with babies on a pusher and carrying them out of their cradle
    - Having horses
    - THE OPEN WORLD
    - Cars
    - Garages
    - Geniuses and fairies
    - Being able to choose more than 3 personality trait and the fact they would have an impact on the gameplay : clumsy sims would stumble and die weirder compare to other sims
    - Being able to choose my star sign, my favorite colour, dish, music …
    - Ushers and thieves
    - Being able to choose how long a season would last and how long my sims could live (for each step and each season)
    -Feeding my fish in the aquarium
    - Having home phones
    - Being able to see every aspect of the map
    -cemeteries
    - having the cause of death written on the tombs
    - Curfew for teens
    - Being able to teach teenagers how to drive
    - Being able to scold teenagers and forbid them to go out
    That’s the reason why even tho I’ve got every single sims 4 extension pack, game pack and kits I would always prefer sims 3 over sims 4 …
    I just feel like sims 4 is a regression of the game, even though they do their best to ameliorate the gameplay, I’d never be the same.
    Like remember when there was no toddlers …

      The sims 4 is just money launcher for EA since they know people would still buy it anyway
      it was already big red flag when the sims 4 launched for first time, there was no ghosts, no pool, no toddlers not even basic jobs like doctor,police and scientist
      Thanks god I didn't buy the sims 4 more packs further, i stopped after I got get to work and get together, not worth it...
      worlds in the sism 4 are really the smallest world in the sims series history
      the fact that you can edit worlds in the sims 3 is amazing especially worlds made by the sims 3 community
      nothing you can do much in the sims 4 when editing world
      and game developers nowadays still makes open world games but EA & Dicedidn't and their excuse is so bullshit Dice could make the sims 3 open world with old engine that was like launched in 2009 that year was really crazy when they could do that despite bugs in the sims 3, the gameplay is really good especially with story progression mods
      I still don't understand how the hell does people get blind eyes to the sims 4 and act like it's the best sims game in the world.....

      im older than you guys, Im a Sims 2 and Sims 1 Simmer, and I didn't get to play sims 3 that much but Im gonna tell u, I felt the exact same way as you feel about sims 4!!!!! to me when the sims 3 came out, I couldn't just see no flaw !!!!! and still think that, there's a few cool things that make the Sims 3 unique but honestly, the first time I tried the sims 3 around 2010, I was amazed at how UNFINISHED it was, game was planned to be released in early 2009, but somehow they started firing people and something was happening at maxis, literally Will Wright got into a lawsuit and a feud that year and he literally quit that year also, they had to release the game until mid or late 2009, and it was clearly unfinished, just like sims 4 was supposed to be a mobile version, that became a base game, the sims 3 had a similar story, people my age will tell you what happened, sims 3 had potential, they were doing things right but it had to be stopped when it was around 70% completed, the whole game was done but they still had to do the animations, even textures and graphics, this is why we don't see them opening car doors or the grass and hairs with literally no texture but some weird unfinished mesh, half the jobs were supposed be rabbit holes but the other half and basic ones were real jobs, police station, hospitals, even the municipality and fire department were supposed to be real places as well as school, at the end of the month they had to release it as it was, all rabbit holes, even the cars, they were showing velocity and more graphics, than just driving around and turning around streets very poorly, the game was not finished on late 2009, and it wasn't gonna be finished in 2010 or 2011 either cause the legal battle EA and maxis was facing didn't finish any time sooner, so that was the result of sims 3, youre playing a 70% finished game, not bad, but still clearly unfinished

      @@ReginaTrans_ As much as unfinished sims 3 was it still the only open world sims we ever got. The existence of the open world itself already proved that it already surpass it predecessor and the generation after that. The stuff like work etc had been added as expansion and it's not even a surprise this happened. It is an EA games. Of course they will suck money out of your wallet as much as possible. I have play the sims since sims 2 all the way to sims 4 and I can say that sims 3 is still worth it even after all the critique and after all this years. The same things cannot be said with sims 4 with how limited it is. You can literally see how downside it is compared to sims 3 in every pack in every expansion. Heck even the base game is a total downgrade from open world. All in all you can't put sims 3 and sims 4 in the same place. It's not just a typical complain regarding new game. It's an actual problem within the base game itself

      The things I hated about the cheering: it was really loud and piercing, went on forever, and could easily ensnare sims in bottleneck areas so that no one else could walk past them. Also, if the parent was in the middle of something when the kid arrived, they'd often not start cheering until the kid had finished and left to go walk their homework to the designated spot - which could be ALL THE WAY BACK AT THE MAILBOX unless you had a special homework desk. It was a cute idea, but the execution left a lot to be desired.

      SERIOUSLY. Plus after some digging around, i found not only is sims 4 deprived of so much FUGGING content, they got a lot of anything actually cool or decent from pre-existing modders - they just, idk, buy the mod and ideas, integrate it into their game/expansions, and then release it. Which makes me realize they animate maybe like 3 animations/ make 10 outfits/ and everything else was from someone in the community
      But they’re charging you like $40-$50 per expansion for so little work on their part
      Edit: (also once they integrate the community stuff into their game, they have the original modders close down their links and websites promoting their mods. Like aliens originally had maybe 3 abilities but some modder gave aliens a ton more. So EA just bought their mod and the modder shutdown the downloads/sites.)

      The real problem with the Sims 4 is that it has not one, but *two* whole predecessors that still manage to outclass it in gameplay performance, not just the sims 3. Both Sims 2 and 3 had traits that actually defined each sim as unique individuals in retrospect of the Sims 4 and its standardization/sameness of personalities due to its overreliance on its poorly coded emotions system - a system that should reflect emotions based off the sim's traits but instead leave traits absolutely meaningless as all sims react solely based upon emotion w/the same programmed responses to whatever said stimuli. Both 2 and 3 didn't see sims having unsuited/conflicting emotional reactions to major events in their life because sims in both of _those_ games weren't perpetually hung up over prior, minor incidents, like brushing their teeth, that would then overtake their entire mood for half the day. Even if they didn't vanish to go to work or school, and they re-introduced cars, it wouldn't fix the Sims 4's foundational gameplay problem that shows itself once outside of CAS system.

I had to get a mod to stop all of the scolding and grounding because it wasn't fun, it was just irritating; if a teen gets grounded, you can't go to school, but if they skip school, they get scolded and grounded; it's a never-ending, infuriating, loop. Also, if your child sim gets sick, you can cancel the interaction to go to school and you'll get a notification from a teacher thanking you for not sending your gross sick child to school, BUT if a TEEN is sick, they still have to go to school; if you cancel their interaction, it acts as if they are skipping and any nearby adult will scold and ground them... However, I still think Sims 3 is the best.

      Yeah, these scolding and punisment interactions from Generations were really bad. Just my first encounter with them was terrible. I send a child to go fishing before school, thinking he has more than enough time to get to school. Well, turned out I was wrong and he got to school late. Didn't pay that much attention to it, until the poor boy got home and got scolded by adult Sim who wasn't even his parent, just a man who lived in the same house. And the worst thing was that it even wasn't the boy's fault, it was totally my fault, because I underestimated the time he needs to get to school. And yet, instead of me being punished, it was this poor boy. Not fair at all.

      I have a mod that makes it manual and the game does it too but a box will come up like "Skyla is skipping school should Kelly scold her?" and if you say no they won't scold them if they say yes but change your mind later or you want to pick the punishment you can cancel the parent scolding the child and then go into the new punishment section and choose one you wanna use instead.

Also when a sim is at an F, they have a random trait like sims 3. But if they have an F and the lowest school performance, they get taken away to a foster home or type of school based on whatever.

      @ZanathKariashi 2 년 전 +81

      It's like a beta because they completely scrapped and remade the game from scratch in 1 year. And then charged players to fix it.
      It was supposed to The Sims (2014), an always online reboot in a similar style to Simcity (2013). But the backlash from that caused them to scrap the ENTIRE THING and start over after ripping out all the online features. But they still used the engine they'd made for it which was optimized for fast loading so your internet went down every 5 seconds, you wouldn't been spending 2-3 minutes on a loading screen at a time. And since lots would be loaded as needed on the server, they could not have open world, which is why you teleport/load between every lot.
      that whole emotion thing the Sims 4 was allegedly built around? That was a gimmick they threw together in a few weeks after realizing that they needed to try and find an excuse for why the game was an empty shell, just before actually announcing what Sims 4 would actually be about. And then had the gall to claim that the game being empty was by design to focus more on the sims and their emotions. No it was empty because you idiots completely ignored people telling you since 2011 EXACTLY what was going to happen if they went through with their All Titles Always Online by Q3 2013 plan, and they ignored them.
      I don't care if they release a giant patch for free that makes all the sub-40 dollar dlcs basegame, the 40 dollar dlcs 20, and makes the whole game exactly like Sims 3 but better, I still would not buy it because of how pissed off I am at them.
      And what little we know about Sims 5 drove my expectations through the bottom of the septic tank, to the point I don't even want to look at Sims news and instead have been focusing on news about their competitors.

      They've been slowly adding missing features like even very needed gameplay features to make your sims feel even slightly more unique/human (sentiments, likes/dislikes in base game + lifestyles in snowy escape) and other things we've been begging for (bunkbeds were the #1 most requested things for sure, and now sectionals have joined the journey too FINALLY even if sadly they're exclusive to a pack at least for now). Also new haircolours, new skintone tools => some of the main things we've had issues with because of how limited customizing is in this game.
      Sooooo honestly I don't see why they will suddenly revert back to only adding superficial content each time, I personally feel like things like cars & spiral staircases which are heavily requested too might be up next. Some say a generations pack is hinted, maybe both those things + more can be back with cars being released both for Basegame & with more styles for the pack, like ladders in eco lifestyle.

      Same here!! I was thinking about it the other day during one of those moments when I actually PLAY TS4, rather than build a house and quit. lol This video reminds me of just how much TS4 left out.

    I remember this happened to me first time I played Sims & I was like: Why are my children gone? 🤔🤣

    Unfortunately or maybe fortunately the sims 4 was made more family friendly. In the sims 4 it’s less likely that you will feel sad or actually upset when something bad happens because nothing that bad ever really happens. In older sims you actually felt bad when things went awry and may have been a bit too scarring
