I will buy The Sims 4, even though it lacks a lot of content from the previous games. I feel as though it's not a step backwards or anything like that, but a step in a different direction. For better or for worse. The Sims 3 was a great base game and with all of the expansion and stuff packs installed, it would be an even greater game. But a lot of The Sims 3's features led to the game becoming quite laggy and glitchy if you didn't have a perfect computer, and with all the expansion and stuff packs installed, you can imagine what it would be like after that. So what I'm saying is The Sims 4 is a completely different game that has the potential to be an greater game than The Sims 3 if you wait
