User blog comment:Lost Labyrinth/Remember when you wanted Open for Business for The Sims 3? Well you've basically got it.../@comment-4568327-20140404001044/@comment-5385060-20140404002004

You are probably right with that. The franchise gets better and worse at the same time.

TS1: People loved games, but wanted aging and proper ties.

TS2: They got that, but it was seriously buggy and corrupted easily. Some (not all) players got tired of time only counting in active household.

TS3: Those people got that. Seriously laggy, and the attitude to people who didn't like it was pretty much "Meh, here have a patch that you may or may not be able to download."

I dread to think what will happen in TS4.
