Post 99: Sims 4 Coming Soon...

So, Sims 4 is coming out soon. I think I've said this before. However, I have such mixed feelings about it. Not that long ago EA put out a sample of the game. Though, it only lets you make a Sim. It is pretty weird.

Sims 4 Sims look strange. But that was kind of to be expected. The Sims in Sims 3 looked weird compared to Sims 2. However, this was a little different. Also, they are more moldable. You can move them and shape them like clay. This, in theory, sounded nice. But was actually frustrating.

It comes with set body shapes, but they aren't that varied. Anything else you have to mold, for the most part. I liked the sliders of Sims 2 and 3. And I liked the more options in Sims 3, but just moldable is a little annoying.

Also there was a really limited selection for clothes. Sims 3 was like that too. There were more options for customization than Sims 2, but Sims 3 had the store which had more clothes. That took some getting used to, and it got a little expensive.

I'm hoping Sims 4 isn't like that too. Especially since there were only set color combinations, not color customization options like Sims 3.

It is also weird that necklaces and bracelets are in two completely different sections.

Overall, I am not a huge fan of Sims 4 so far. The Create-A-Sim is not my favorite thing ever. I did create a Sim, here is the link...click here.

But, really I felt limited by the choices available. These were the only dresses that I liked, that also didn't look weird on her. The others made her look weird.

The walks were cool. You can customize those too now. There aren't a lot of choices for that either, but any choice is more than Sims 1, 2, or 3.

Sims 3 is still my favorite and nothing about the Sims 4 Create-A-Sim has made me more eager to buy it. When I saw the trailers for Sims 3, I was preparing to pre-order it months away.

So, Sims 4 = mixed feelings.

Time will tell if I will change over to Sims 4 or just stick with Sims 3.

That's all for now, think I'm getting a cold or something.
