EDIT: Softened my statements because I didn't like them on reread.

This COULD become the Sims equation problem all over again. I'm giving them the benefit of the doubt until I've tried it.

The Sims 3 with all expansions is simply a much better game overall than Sims 4 base game. And since there's no "sequel story", you basically just have a "lower quality rerelease"

I can't find accurate purchase/play figures, but Sims 4 pivoting to F2P last year supports my thoughts on that. In terms of quality, a HD graphics DLC would have been a better value and made them more money.

Except not, because having fewer players give them more money seems to be the new model. More power to em. I really wish "Life By You" wasn't the only Sims alternative coming out. Paradox is definitely much better than EA, but they're not perfect either.

There’s also Paralives in the works too! I hope they all succeed so they can make EA start sweating before they release a very obviously worse Sims 5. 🙏
