Bernard his #1s are a relic of the past. Besides, the majority of them are due to collaborations (further proving he has 0 power when left to his own devices).
Can't see how he isn't anything more than a slightly better version of Christina Aguilera. hihi~ You know it's true, so just face the facts.
Stripped era > DIL era
Self titled era > IASF era
That's all their relevant eras. Legend X is greater.
Also, bare in mind, EA Trash has still not shown any gameplay outside of Create A Sim and Build (of which they cut down the maximum levels of houses to three).
They cut pools (a staple since the original game). Then, they cut toddlers (an essential part to playing life stages since The Sims 2). Next, they cut CAST (what you used in The Sims 3 to customize colors, textures, floors, hair, outfits, etc.). They removed storyline progression (the system that let's the sims you don't play get married, get jobs, live lives, etc.). Now, it's looking like there are less outfits and hairs than The Sims 2. Now, you only have three traits instead of five. Now, certain outfits need to be unlocked.
