I played a bit of Sims but I had a childhood friend OBSESSED with it and yeah...we kinda lost touch partly due to her internet/PC gaming craze but many of the missing features seem really stupid, I mean in the sense...why take them away? It seems like good chunks of the game are missing, enough to compile a long ass list. Well hopefully you didn't feel like you wasted too much cash on Sims 4 but it sounds like other people may feel the same way you do. :/
