Had a lot of fun with TS1 but I skipped TS2. I tried TSO (EA-Land) for a couple of months until the sunset and I could see why this is one of Will Wright's most ambitious work. In 2009, I was still converting skins and decor items from TSO for TS1 when TS3 was launched. Finally found my way to TS3 in 2010.
Two years later I begun to try Store stuff and they are not so bad. Only after TS4 problems I can really see TS3 with a new perspective, appreciating the whole works that ultimately made this technically much more professional than TS4.
So after 2 years, I still don't care about TS4, they've missed the momentum.. Now in 2019 still don't want TS4 and the current life extention it gets just because next sequel is late.
May 2020 Definitely never want to support TS4. Even future sequel might be on the same direction, can't believe this.
July 2022 Can't believe we still don't have TS5, now I already have much fun with adventure RPG like AC Odyssey and Valhalla. Will never play TS4, can't stand it at all.
