The Sims 4: Oldest in Series and Aging Noticeably
Today we celebrate an amazing achievement within the gaming industry, The Sims 4 (the oldest in the series) marks a significant milestone this week: its 10th anniversary. It is the only game in the series to reach double digits and still be receiving updates. However, despite its longevity, the celebration feels very muted with no real buzz surrounding it.
Longevity and Challenges of The Sims 4
The Sims 4, the oldest in the series, has been active for ten years, far surpassing The Sims 2 and The Sims 3 in terms of content updates. The game boasts a staggering 79 packs, including 12 expansions, 16 game packs, 20 stuff packs, and 31 kits. However, the vast number of packs has led to an oversaturated experience.
The Issue of Saturation
The Sims 4 gameplay has unfortunately resulted in a complex and sometimes buggy experience. The game is often criticized for its “spaghetti code,” leading to frequent bugs and performance issues. Players have reported ongoing problems, especially with certain packs like My Wedding Stories and Dine Out.
The Cost of Continuous Sims 4 Updates
The Sims 4 continues to receive costly DLCs. Despite sales and bundle discounts, the total expense for a complete Sims 4 experience can be overwhelming. New kits and expansion packs keep coming, while the game's technical issues remain unresolved.
Looking Ahead
The question arises: Should The Sims 4, the oldest in the series, continue to receive new content or focus on fixing existing issues? While mods offer some relief, they are not a comprehensive solution, especially for console players. A complete overhaul or a new entry in the series might be necessary to address the current shortcomings.
In conclusion, while The Sims 4 is the oldest, its age has become apparent through increasing bugs and an overwhelming number of DLCs. The future of the game remains uncertain, but players and fans hope for improvements or a new beginning.
