The people claiming that this is a better game than The Sims 4 are smoking crack cocaine. There were some great ideas being put into the foundation of this game that were so ahead of their time that they could never be implemented correctly for when it came out.

The UI and Sims look atrocious, on top of the fact that most people couldn't even run this game on accessible hardware, and still can't. I wish to God that they would have just fixed the game or built on these ideas, but they never did. It costs 2 quantimillion dollars to access the full arsenal of DLC this game comes with and the more you download, the worse it runs.

I have great memories with this game of course, but there are unpatched bugs and lackluster story progression that requires mods to function properly.

I will always love The Sims dearly, but I am also not legally blind. This game gets booted up when I want maximum chaos in ruining my Sims lives for the worse, but it's not my choice of Sims game to play normally.
