conflicted on this bcuz when I was younger I watched an uncensored playthrough of it on youtube and was obviously disgusted, but when I played it for myself as an adult I thought it was decently made? the puzzles are tricky enough that solving them is satisfying, until you remember the prize is horse sex. also the animation's cute.

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)/¯

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.

its absolutely not perfect but im gonna let myself be overdramatic here: playing this for the first time broke and rebuilt me. never cried so hard from a game. the story is a very specific situation that i dont relate to, but Sunny's "everything would be better without you, you ruined everything" type of guilt, plus his escapism, hallucinations... oughh. just like me fr.
