When I find time to play for fun, I usually have a
single Sim in a modern house. I am a big fan of
modern architecture and interior design, so you
can probably imagine how many times I do type
“motherlode” in my game to put my Sim in a
luxurious lot. Most of my Sims are either artists
or science workers. I must admit I have never
properly played Realm of Magic GP but I often
use some build objects in my previews. I cannot
really tell you why – I think I was never a big fan
of magical stories like Harry Potter books for
example. At some point I need to try it.
I can’t imagine myself in a position that would
make me quit playing The Sims right now. This
game is with me for pretty much 75% of my life.
If any situation would push me to have to stop
playing it, I reckon it would have to be either a
powerless laptop / PC, or lack of money for the
next releases. I love this game too much to quit
it really.
I really like the graphics in the game and how
realistic they look. It is a massive improvement
since the Sims 3. If someone uses as much CC as
I do (fun fact: I have almost 16,000 individual CC
files from different creators in my game) – the
gameplay is very realistic. Also, interactions
between Sims are great and not as robotic as it
used to be in the older versions.
I don’t want to say I hate it, but I don’t like that
you cannot do changes to the ceiling in build
mode. It is a big disadvantage for me (mostly) as
a wall designer – I have to very often hide the
ceiling in the preview of a creation because the
ceiling does not match the overall look or it is
too much of a contrast against the wall I try to
showcase.
The Sims 4 would definitely benefit from having
a different colour and shape options for ceilings.
I am seeing plenty of the great CC ideas for
ceilings but there is nothing for no CC builders
and this is saddening me. I would love to see
that option being added to the game like pools,
terrain design and basements were introduced
