I definitely will not be buying it. I started with the Sims 3, having never played a sims game before, and what I got from that was that EA doesn't even finish their games before releasing them (game-breaking bugs and glitches around every corner) and they like making lackluster base games so they can release all the content that should have been originally included in patches and expansion packs (specifically generations with the Sims 3.)

Now, what they seem to be doing with TS4 is including even less content and focusing on little gimmicky features that they think will sell the game. I predict this time they'll make even more expansion and stuff packs, with even less content to suck more money out of their fans. I haven't ever played the Sims 2 but from what I've heard it's a pretty solid game and the franchise has just gone downhill from there. I won't be buying anything related to the Sims 4, and I advise everyone to do the same.
