This is getting ridiculous. I understand if they had to remove a couple of big and small features but this really shows that they were being lazy.

I agree, but I was in this game's side until like a week ago then I just started realizing they've cut so many things that take no time to make like the jobs.
I'm still excited to play the game but I ain't paying for it, gonna wait for a crack or something.

A lot of those will probably be included in the future but are there really no dishwashers and trash compactors? My sim will actually have to do that?

Britney is almost there, I think the lips should be a little thinner.
But they all look great!

Probably going to make ppl wait for those jobs until the university ep comes out.
I always found it weird how your sim could just start those jobs with no education in that field.

How did y'all get The Sims 2 working on a Windows 7 PC? I downloaded it but it took ages to load to each screen.

I also don't get why they didn't make dishwashers and trash compactors, they're like the simplest objects. The only explanation is that they're saving them for an EP or kitchen objects pack, which is really ****ed up.

I don't understand why people add Acne to the list, it was the most random element on TS2.
edit: No burglars though? Why?
edit2: Why do they want curfew back? It was annoying as ****.

The Fame, The Sims
Original, awesome, unique, none like its kind.
Massive blow up, will go down in history forever.
TFM, TS2
Even bigger
More creative
Big sales
"Iconic"/Peak
BTW, TS3
Believes in own hype
Successful based off predecessor
Major changes
New ideas not executed well
Isolates majority of fans due to messiness
Rehashed and strung out in a sense
Major backlash
TS4 ha Artpop era
Messy
Attempts to go back to the the first 2 eras but fails miserably
Basic
Cute here and there but missing soul
Upsets fans more than predecessors
Flops
