I only build if I have too much time, and like to make thousands of families... and maybe kill some off.

The fourth one is a tie with the second. I just love how EA decided to make TS4 have some small features from TS2 that older players would remember. My favorite feature is admittedly the cheats. I just love being able to control more of their life and career.

The thing that kept me playing was the game itself. Origin does certainly get annoying, but the aspect of the games are what the value is for me. I think I was addicted since I wasn't even alive. My mom would always play TS1 and I grew up to play that and eventually got TS2 and 3. Just this year, I got TS4, and enjoy it very much! If only I could figure out the mods...
