They should move the computation for pathfinding around bodies of water in Sims 4 to the same cloud servers they used for all of SimCity 5's complex simulation calculations.

Choose any boots with any pants?

Seriously? Even IF that was something unique to sims 4 (it's not), they prioritize that over swimming pools and toddlers?

She's just throwing shit out there at this point. I wonder how much these bullshit PR writers make, anyway? What's it worth to you, lying your ass off day in and day out to everyone around you?

Reviewers got copies of simcity but were asked to wait for retail for god knows what reason because that completely backfired on them.
I predict a similar outcome now that there's no such thing as a review copy when reviewers can't run Sims 4 because the auth DRM servers get flooded off the internet.

Sweden gets it 3 days after you guys, so that gives me time to read reviews of it. Not making the same mistake I did with SimCity. Fool me once...

*looks at her pre-order* I... I gotta... I have to... cancel...

In all seriousness everything seems really shady about this Sims. I realize that a lot of these features that were removed were taken out cause they didn't put people on it and allocated them to other projects but uh...
Don't launch a game if it isn't finished or at least on par with the features from the original The Sims game. Not that hard really. Especially when you're a developer that doesn't need the immediate dosh to fund the expansions. I mean really...

**Waraji** · 2014-08-20 10:31

But but but, how make money without DLC?

**Mina** · 2014-08-20 10:33

I know you're being silly

If there's any game that doesn't need to make cuts like this to make money, I swear to god almighty it is Sims 4. Women People pay for 1 piece outfits and shit every day to add content to their game. I guarantee they made more money in the shit they sell on their Exchange than their actual game sales.

Even if half the population flat out refused to pay for a penny. The people DO pay, pay in assloads.

No excuse for what's happening here in my books. :\ It's clear it's all about the $$$.

**Uzor** · 2014-08-20 11:01

I swear, they're shooting themselves in the foot. With all of the features they've removed, the game (and new features) better be amazing to make up for it. Personally I think delaying it would be better, as more people would spend money on expansions and DLC then.

Sadly, I think even EA suspects a lot of negative criticism, considering they're not doing review copies.

**Mina** · 2014-08-20 11:11

:\ it's possible that the newer features can make up for it but I somehow doubt it.

If it really did make up for the newer features they would let the reviews do the talking wouldn't they?
