I became acquainted with the series from the second part and since then I have been playing and following the Sims constantly. Part 4 is very good when compared with the previous ones, I especially liked the character editor (in which I spend most of the game). The construction mode is also very interesting here, especially after updates with improvements in this regard. The only sad thing about the game is the lack of an open city, i.e. limited locations by region, but perhaps this was done for the sake of optimization. There is also an undoubted minus of the series that the add-ons, catalogs and game sets are oh-so-very narrowly focused, compared to the same Sims 3. And the Sims 4 with all the add-ons will cost you a pretty penny. In any case, for me this is the best life simulator so far, if it is developed in the right direction, then the game can surpass the third part. I've heard that these two parts are still competing among amateurs.
