Sims 2 was peak, but holy shit could it have used SSD tech back then. 30min± load times once you had all the packs. It was too optimistic about home machines at the time.

I played a lot of Sims 2 on PS2 as a kid, and I remember playing sims 3 for a bit.

I never played the expansions, and some of those might've had some neat new ideas, but the base game was basically the same thing with higher poly/res models and textures.

By Sims 4 I think people would've been pleasantly surprised if that's what they had received instead of the excuse for micro transactions it seems to be outside looking in.

There's money to be made ... It's why we can't have anything nice (and also why we have nice things at least at the start).

The obvious answer is that the economy is fucked, everyone is all in on AI, and it's starting to look a little shaky.

It's a bad look in general

Not saying that is not happening, but EA is not the gaming industry, they are just garbage for the most part.
