I'm done being promised something great just to be met with something mediocre. We've supported you for 20 years, and I think that you've taken our loyalty for granted and used it to manipulate us. It's sad to think that the game that I loved when I was a kid has gotten to this point, and I hope that when you make Sims 5 you actually attempt to make a game that fans can enjoy, not just something that gives you the most revenue. You've lost my trust, and you've destroyed my faith in a franchise that I love. I would say that I hope that Sims 5 is better than this, but I really don't trust you anymore. I'm just tired of getting things that feel like they're half-done, and having to suffer along with a broken game until you come out with the next pack/kit/whatever, which is half new items, half fixes for the last batch of errors. And now, custom content issues are making it hard to actually enjoy this game. I know that there has been an attempt to fix them, but I am sorry to say my trust just isn't there in this system anymore. Constant patch updates have led to systems that are so irritating, they're not worth it. Having gone back to sims 3 recently, it is wild to have a house the same size as one of my tiny houses cost half as much per week, and that is without having to supplement utility usage. With Eco Living, billing got so expensive that even a tiny house would cost $600 per week. But, the negatives keep overriding the positives. I loved being able to dine out and actually go with my sim. I loved having usable renewable energy sources. I know it was one of the reasons why games crashed, but you took away things that we even had in sims 2. I lost my love for designing for the same reason, because I cannot customize houses to specific sims and their personalities because we lost that ability for this game. I lost my love of building because of the Sims 4, because houses and rooms just never quite looked the way that I wanted to because of the presets that I had to work around. I am so tired of having to constantly adjust game play, find mods that cover for your errors, add content into the game because the amount of objects that we're given this far in is still paltry, and still only be half-satisfied with the end results. I just cannot do that anymore with Sims 4. I am willing to love it in spite of its flaws, and there are reasonable ways to work around the issues that the game presents. There is not a pack from that game that I do not use at least once while I play, and even though I cringe whenever a full moon comes out, I still love the game. Yes, each game has its issues, especially Sims 3, but I just feel like at least I can look at Sims 3, even with all of its flaws, and say that the game itself is not fundamentally broken because developers just didn't care. I have seen this franchise grow so much over the years. Since I was 10, I have bought every single Sims game that you have ever made. I've invested so much of my money not just in the Sims 4, but in the entire franchise. Then again, you did give us a Star Wars pack when your community literally told you that was the idea that they were the least enthusiastic about just so you could get that sponsorship payment. I mean, what kind of ripoff is that? The other two packs of similar size came with enough objects to justify the price, but the whole dust buster pack is just a clear ploy to rip money away from your fans. I do not know of a single person who would spend $5 just to get 6 vacuums. Then, you have the audacity to charge us ridiculous prices for things that we do not want. Why am I investing my money into a game that just cannot seem to ever function well. It seems like every time you try to fix one of the issues that you created, you just make two more, and I am so tired of it. You're so willing to charge us $40/20/10 for an expansion pack, but then you don't think to include items that are needed for certain functions of that pack (the "off-the-grid" lot trait and the lack of ways to collect resources when Island Living was released, the lack of ladders or bunk beds for tiny houses, the whole disaster that was lifestyles.) I am just tired of having to avoid certain aspects of gameplay, or not being able to utilize new items and modes of gameplay to their fullest potential because you don't do your due diligence and try to make sure that you're giving us a game that actually works. This game is broken, and your constant half-hearted attempts to fix it just show to me a lack of care. I feel like I keep trying to give this game a chance, and the sad thing is there are certain things that I really like, but I am just at the point where I cannot look past the flaws anymore. I know that no one from EA or Maxis is going to read this, but I am so done with the sims 4.
