For me, the best feature would proably be the skill building. I mean, you start out with Sims that have no idea what they're doing, then, after hours of work and creation, they've mastered everything. Especially without mood cheats. And I point to skills here, but it's all of the build-up; creating legacies, earning mony for a bigger and better house, advancing careers, collecting lifetime happiness rewards like quarters...it's fulfilling to start out with these CGI characters who you could spend hours making look physically perfect but are just starting out in their lives, and building them up to be successful and happy. And since the game likes to throw random monkey wrenches in there, it adds a new twist on something I've done dozens of times for the las eight or nine years. Hell, I'll have to try to figure out how to do that stuff with my own life here in a couple years or so, and while real life isn't as easy as the Sims, doing it virtually so many times makes it seem less scary.

So, yeah...deep moment over.
