already feels so nostalgic for me ;_; i think everyone will always have a soft spot for the sims game they grew up with, and this one is mine. i adore ts4, flaws and all, and i still play it fairly often 10 years later (modded to hell, but yeah). idk it just makes me feel all light and comfortable and silly and creative ect ect.

playing this immediately after the masterpiece that is the re4 remake felt like I had been fucking lobotomized. great concepts that are held back by layers of 2000s jank, like bad npc ai, and having to re-do the whole mission after failing. also it's ugly lol. not like graphically, I don't mind old/lowpoly graphics. the whole world is a muddy shade of gray, it gets hard to look at. still fun but yeah it's old ¯\(ツ)/¯

you had to be there.
