User blog comment:LostInRiverview/The Sims 4? I thought we just started on The Sims 3!?/@comment-190.245.78.178-20100824214349

It`s me from the previous comment. I have been checking The Sims 4 predictions... and I am left with the impression that all people want is a Real Life Simulator. The Sims series was never (and never will) be intended to recreate real life, it`s intended to parody it. Several things really striked me, like sims changing their native simlish for a plain, dull english languaje (PARODY!! NOT RECRATION!!), or living in real world locations, like Moscow and New York (DITTO), and some even wackier stuff like world wars (RATED +12!!), and even a religious apocalypse. I think that those that imagine the Sims as an exact real life simulator will be really dissapointed, no matter how many games or expansion packs are released, you will never be able to make your sims a replica of the real world. The game is not aimed to humanize the sims, it is intended to make them be sims.

I was also shocked about the unrealistic demand that some people exige. ALL EXPANSION PACK CONTENT FROM ALL THREE GAMES!!! are you seriously intending to fit that huge load of crap into one base game?? Not only it is stupid, but it ruins the business for Electronic Arts, who has earned incredible amounts of money with expansion packs.

Hopefully people realize this is JUST A GAME. It´s not real life, even though it has been incredibly succesful balancing the wacky and the real world stuff. Making sims humans takes away the whole grace of The Sims, and I think those that intend it to be a real world replica will be dissapointed regardless of the custom content, expansions and stuff packs EA releases. Also, you will never find everything inside one base game, less the crazy, crazy stuff that some people are asking for. We need to learn to enjoy the game within it´s physical boundaries.
