Here's my thoughts about The Sims 4. This is form someone that has purchased every single expansion for Sims 3  , except for the Katy Perry sweet stuff DLC. I did however never buy any of the store content.
The game is fun. That's all. It'll follow the normal Sims cyclus of being fun for two weeks, until a new expansion hits, this is how it has always been for Sims. A mod or some custom content might spark some interest, but it takes a month or three for that to happen.
I just love how well the game runs, after coming from the constant lag in Sims 3, this is a breath of fresh air. Can you honestly say you prefer a five minute load to start the game compared to ten seconds every now and then? The only downside here is the loading needed to visit your neighbours in the same neighbourhood.
Content wise the game is lacking, really lacking. The current features don't really feel fleshed out at all, except for gardening, which is quite interesting and works well.
As for their 'WOW EMOTIONS' pitch, it sort of works. I find my self playing more on speed 1 than speed 3, like I always did in Sims 3. Mostly because I actually care about what my sims do now, compared to before.
In Sims 3 I only do stuff to achieve a goal there and now. In Sims 4, I'm more curious about how stuff plays out, I need to pay attention to what's happening. I can even min-max so I my sims get their correct emotions to boost my skill-gain and thus earn me more money. Which allows me to pimp out my crib and make a nicer house.
It really is quite interesting. Most of the hate the game gets is because it's "made for girls" and half the guys here are only purchasing it for their girlfriends, sisters of wifes. Or so they say.
Would I buy the game again?
Yeah.
Is it worth the full $90 (Bloody currency exchange) I paid for it?
Eeh, probably not.
Will I purchase all the expansionpacks?
Yeah.
Will I keep on pirating all the store content?
Damn right.
As for scores. 7/10 compared to Sims 3 with all the content and expansions.
As a base game that'll just get better and more interesting as more stuff is released, 9/10.

The Sims 4: Bar Fights, Bad working decisions (although you still seem to come home after making a bad decision, but 'doing superb work'), clumsy relationships, sterile environment, the 'feeling' of wanting a bit more.

Ok tried the cracked version to see if it worked ok before installing it on my daughters PC and wanted to see if it was as bad as people say.
Its ok. Some people dislike the new GUI, I like it I never really liked the old one, too cluttered.
-------
Gameplay wise it feels made for the "lets get those last handful of mobile angry birds/candy crush players to like it":
(All this was done in 5 hours):
The jobs are limited, always the same 7 options with 2 choices in each. You no longer need friends for promotions (at least the job I took). promotions was WAY to easy. I got a job, and promoted each of the first 4 days.
Maybe it was the job I took mixed with my skills..but money was WAY too easy, went tech->pro gamer path, and raised up gaming and programming. when off work not making $1000 a day, I can play games and stream, and it just throws money at me..or "online turking" and it throws more at me.
So combine my work pay, with my games/apps I made payment income, streaming gaming, and turking..I had more money than I could spend.
The house builder IS much nicer, a lot more intuitive. sort of like using google sketchup for controls. Resizing rooms is good, makes redoing a house as you grow easier. Which is nice when you're moving to a bigger lot every 2 hours (see money above).
The color options on things SUCK. no more tinting items, just picking premade colors..like carpet. it has like 8 colors, and 3 of them are 'whiteish'..no blue/gray/green/black/brown. A lot of items I had to compromise on to get a room to match as the colors id like to make the room either wasn't in the wallpaint/papers, or one of the items in it.
Switching lots and having to load blows. I agree, why go to a loading screen to go 50 feet from my house to the neighbor?
The new emotions they was talking about might be in there, but it doesn't feel 'groundbreaking'. Pretty such standard sims. It just feels like they added text descriptors to ones already in sims3. waking up hungry and tired and need to pee? now its not just grumpy stomping of feet and sad face..its got a name!..but thats really all it is..a name to things they did before.
Talking to people has 4000 options now as they open up. But its the same as before in sims3 (for me)..boils down to clicking whichever raises the bar you are going for. Sure options are nice, but when I can pick "talk about gaming", "talk about programming", "share gaming idea", and "discussion captains(star trek)"..and they all pretty much do the same thing, makes you better geek friends..90% of them are pointless other than if your roleplaying you're actually talking about it in your head.
It has the same problems to me as sim3. that a big actual house laid out like a house isnt a good thing due to 'time distortion' of time going by faster than it would. You want the smallest, open floorplan house you can make.
Same as sims3..waking up and taking a piss shouldn't take 20 minutes. going to the fridge and making mac n cheese isn't an hour long thing in real life. So making up for the lost time by compacting your layout is still a thing, they didn't address it.
-----------
Id say overall its a 6/10 from me.
Its fun, its the sims, but no huge advancements in the things they did add in the game to make up for what it lost, or lost in complexity from 3.
But it DOES feel like vanilla sims3 to some comparable degree, think some people forget how much stuff in basic sims3 was wanted or complained about missing until DLCs/expansions for it made up for it. Same here..its surely going to be a DLC and expansion cash cow.
Sure as hell not buying it...but my daughter will like it.

From what I can tell, the Emotion is quite different to mood in sims 3.
Emotions grants special actions, we don't have that in Sims 3.
You can change your emotion through different actions. In Sims 3, positive mood would grant positive points toward your mood and vice versa. A good mood will make your Sim performance better. But with emotions, it affect specific categories only. So it is specialized, and I do like that a lot. I've noticed subtle differences on how this will affect gameplay, and for the most part it works better than Sims 3's. If your mood is high in Sims 3, your Sim just looks happier and happier, in 4, they look different, they walk differently, they sound different. It is surprisingly a lot more organic. You can tell how different emotions affect conversations for example. Not that we'll ever know what they are saying, but you can see how emotions have affected them. They might not seem like much, but why is it a bad thing to have more options to choose from to make friends with others? They even have different animations for all those new options.
However one thing I noticed is sometimes certain moodlets will completely override the emotions. One of them makes my Sim bored, even if I manage to raise my fun to max. The guy is still bored.
Ultimately the impact might not be that big, as what it offers are mostly flavour and subtle detail to the game. But this is the Sims, it is all about that. I think it is the best feature they've added for Sims 4, along with multi-tasking. The build mode actually made a few steps back, so I'm not sure if I like it that much.

I forgot about that, the multitasking IS really nice. that bugged the HELL out of me in the other sims..I cant talk and eat?..lol
Id take the other side on the builder, its not so much steps back. Its advanced a lot in user friendliness and ease of making large changes. Just some of the things to build is gone. (which I assume is future DLC/expansion crap). So the building tools themselves are greatly improved, what you can build WITH them is lacking. from my point of view anyway.
Before building things or changing them was like trying to draw in some 3rd party freeware CAD knock off.
Now its a lot more like autocad/solidworks (maybe its just my past experience using them for a job that makes me like it..feels a lot more "productive" than "frustrating" making changes to a house now)

Not sure, All i did was copy crack, start my origin with my real account, go in offline mode, and start.
After the game starts I can close origin completely, game hangs for about 5 seconds..but runs fine after that.

@hellishere
Best way to go is "automation off on selected Sim" option, imho.
This way you are not annoyed by unwanted action and other Sims (in your family) around still continue their "life".
BTW, is it me or AI seems quite good and feels nicely alive in this game ?

Because 95% of them was..fake cracks, a few "fullgame" downloads that was 64megs. when I got mine, only 2 of the 30 results was actually to do with the game, the others was random "downloadz this and take teh surveyz to get rar password" crap that was between a few 100k and a few megs in size.

I did that.. i think i did something wrong with the regedit.. gonna start from 0 again |
regedit? I didn't have to touch the registry
My steps was:
Download game and unrar to a folder.
Copy crack to said folder.
Start origin.
Start game.

They do. I have 2 sims in the house and they interact together often. They also like to have fun, and never actually train themselves in anything. I have to manually get them to learn skills, etc. Maybe that's intention.
Also I notice how easy and nature it is to do anything in a group. Once my sims started talking in a group, I can just use sit together, and the improvised group just heads over there and chill together. Eventually they just drift apart and hang out with others, etc. No need to Form Group -> force everyone to go there, etc.
Right now my opinion of the game is that it is awesome, as a baseline. Complete lack of content, but expansions will make this great (assuming the game engine can handle custom content this time). So good for us pirates 
The one huge problem in the base game however is I wonder if they'll do bigger worlds. Right now it is far too small, literally nothing to do. You don't have a physically workplace to go, not even a rabbit hole. You don't even have real co-workers?! The option to social with co-workers just ease social needs?
