« Everything feels like a step forward, even though there are some aspects (like random tutorials or some situations in which we felt completely out of control) that we would like to see more polished. Still, a great choice for The Sims fans. »

« Even with the missing content, The Sims 4 delivers a gameplay experience that is highly-entertaining and addictive for both series veterans and newcomers. »

« And yes, it is another Sims iteration, but at the same time this one feels clean and fresh. The emotional interactions are really interesting, and the combination of these with different Sims' personality traits and aspirations can make for some great unpredictability. Despite what’s been left out, The Sims 4 feels like it’s heading in the right direction. »

« Besides the hugely improved Build Mode and Create-A-Sim and the fact that the game runs very smoothly this time around, this is the weakest base-game in the Sims-series. But luckily not by a great distance. Burrowing deeper than the first, somewhat disappointing hours, players will find that a lot of the missing features (basements, toddlers, pools and a ‘open world’ village) are compensated by lots of animations, objects, collectibles and other fun stuff that only Sims-lovers can truly appreciate. »

« The Sims 4 moves away from its predecessors, but the result is cool and fun. »

« The Sims 4 is unique in its genre and this new release is perfect for both fans of the series and beginners. The new features such as emotions are exciting and completely renovate the gameplay, but the game suffers from a brutal lack of content. It's a great game that needs more content as soon as possible. »

« The Sims 4 certainly doesn't reinvent the wheel and is not as comprehensive as its predecessors, but at the same is an accurate revision of almost every unbalanced gameplay aspect of the series. »

« The Sims 4 has solid foundations. We love the new focus on the Sims but we can't understand why there's a loading for every damn house, when The Sims 3 was a little open world. »

« I was sure that it is not my type of game, but I underestimated how much extent it was not my type of game. It is so common in memes and gags that I needed to know what we are talking about, but it is extremely boring. »

« Nothing works anymore the game has gone way down hill. I want to delete the game half the time I open it because it doesn’t work. »

« it depends if u love life simulators games. this game with all dlcs and mods will be more then great for you. »

« The sims 4 is exactly what you would expect out of the next installation of the sims game series. Except however, that it's missing most of the content that was included in the price tag of the original game and it is then sold to you in packages of DLCs. Overall, it costs a large amount of money to get the full experience. Even so, mods, and being smart with your DLC purchases, as well as the community & challenges can breathe life into a game that otherwise gets boring after 20 hours max. »

« The Sims 4 offers polished visuals, improved building tools, and expressive character emotions, but it feels limited compared to its predecessors. The open-world freedom and depth of The Sims 2 and 3 are missing, and many features require paid expansions. Despite this, it’s still an enjoyable life simulation with creativity at its core. 7.8/10 »

« I have been playing this game for years and today they made the biggest mistake. Updating it so you can't add any mods but only a few available to purchase with "moola" barf...this truly ruined the game. I bought a gaming laptop just for sims and I no longer have interest to keep playing. There is no point to playing how this game currently is, it's a **** game, hints why so many creators helped improve it with mods and know they took it away. Everyone is going to switch over because they were so desperate to make more money, Hope it was with it. The craziest part is we all saw this coming because why on earth would TRUMPS son-in law have interest in buying sims? One google search will tell you who Jared Kushner is, you just had to take one of the few females directed game and destroy it. Absolutely disgusting that they had to destroy this game. »

« It would be accurate to compare to the previous version, Sims 3. Many things like bugs and building mode are fixed, but many others "cuts". No open world, no transferring items between sims or home-to-sim, most of the surrounding is just empty decor without option of interaction. Interface is plastic like, from furniture to sims.Music changed, objects function changed, pets changed.This all only makes it complicated, not fun. If you need new stuff you need tons of upgrades, even a lot or a decoration may not be **** have one flat base and a bag of cheats to play the game. Where's the fun in that? The most beloved moments and details are removed to something that brings no satisfaction of playing it.Imagine having a good meal, and the new version is just the leftovers in the plate. »
