Disappointing things: LOADING SCREENS ugh I thought we did away with this after, like, sims 1. Not cool.

Lack of cars, pools, toddlers. Hair isn't animated, which is odd since the graphics engine seems MORE than capable

Awesome things: The little details and touches put into it are great. Sims do the pee walk when they super need to pee which is HILARIOUS.

And the moods/emotions really do affect a lot of things in the game such as social interactions, how well they do at work etc

Overall I'm not super blown away or impressed but it is enjoyable. The addition of achievements and the overhaul of the aspiration system is pretty cool too. There are more concrete goals to playing the game.

But you can also ignore those and just kill your sims still, which is nice.

Oh, and Sims look really good. Less like potato people like in the Sims 3. I'd say the Sims design is more like Sims 2 that way.

AND THE CREATE A SIM. By far the best part of the game, imo.
