I'll need to buy The Sims 4 before I can vote on the 0-10 scale. That could take a while. From what I've heard, it won't be better than The Sims 2 and it might not be better than The Sims 3.

I'll still buy it at some point. As long as it's part of the Sims franchise (which it is), then I'll get it - even if it turns out to be just a game, I'll make sure that my getting it will pay off.
