Yo, so I realized Sims 4 was my favorite game of all time. Not recent games. Of All times. The game just nails all this light and whimsical tone that hits me real in the feels.. The music, the visuals and the settings, everything mixes to create an experience deeply relaxing with with all the depth you want, or that just plays itself aka MK11 towers.
Deep down it's a story telling engine more than anything. There isn't a plot. You construct a tiny being, whose alive and complex and acts according to their own owm whims. Acorrding to the personality you give them. And as the godlike figure you are, you get to intervene and affect their tiny lives as you wish to.
Me, I decided to create a tiny couple of feisty Korean lesbians. One is an ex-guitarist who is now a freelance programmer. Her roommate and red headed girl friend, is an entertainer who wants to be a K-Pop idol. And I just want to....watch them go. I can only use my godly powers to affect them when their whims go against my will lol.
And the game is freaking HUGE from southern ranches town, to surburbia to LA and NY wannabes. Shit there's even a Twin Peaks knockoff. When you hit a Holiday like Halloween, it's fun as as hell. Designing costumes, trick or treating, carving pumpkins. The sheer freedom of it all is pretty mindblowing,
The shit part is that the base game essentially has nothing of that. We are talking about 4 years of paid expansions here. Shit it's sad because IMO it's the richest life simulator ever released but it's basically the cost of a PS4 Pro or a small computer for the whole thing. Me? I went insane and got the entire thing on both PS4 and PC. Cause I liked it that much.
Some posts I made before. I still mean every single word.
