While Maxis hasn’t spent its time developing The Sims 5 (as far as we know), modders have been busy improving The Sims 4 base experience in ways that even some of the game’s official expansions haven’t topped.
It’s odd that we’re still waiting for a new Sims game, but Sims 4 surprise free-to-play pivot means that everyone gets to enjoy the game’s very best mods.Įven though the barrier for entry into the latest Sims game has been lowered to “nothing,” anyone who downloads the game is still downloading the same, flawed title that was released in 2014. You would think that eight years is more than enough to produce a new sequel, but instead, the companies decided to give everyone the gift of Sims 4 for free. In the years that followed, Maxis and EA released expansion packs of every shape and size to provide new careers, clothes, and houses. The happiness moodlets also behave differently because happy isn’t an emotion that humans feel each day and your sims will only feel truly happy when something great happens.At the time that The Sims 4 was released in 2014, it was missing a ton of features that gamers loved from the previous Sims title. For example, a sim with an uncomfortable moodlet may have this boosting their sad moodlet and making that worse for them. Meaningful stories will add meaningful moods where your sims are going to have their emotions be more varied and much more subtle and specific moods are able to boost others. You aren’t going to be embarrassed for 8 hours after seeing someone on the toilet.
The way it works currently in the vanilla game is that the emotions are constantly flopping just because your sim entered a well decorated room or walked in on someone using the bathroom but this isn’t how emotions work IRL. With the meaningful stories mod you can have a completely redesign this emotions system that make your sim’s feel more human. When The Sims 4 was released they had a lot of their marketing material focused on smarter sims and especially on this emotions system that seems to be a flop a few years later.
