I am a big fan of the sims franchise as well. I had high hopes when sims 4 firstly came out but I instantly lost interest when I started playing . I think that it is the worse compared to the rest. I really despise the element of not having an open world, when it was in fact advertised as so ahead of its time with its new additions to not be able to walk freely through neighborhoods.
I am really looking forward to paralives and in the meantime I prefer playing the sims 3 and its expansion packs
