After the June 2009 release of the Sims 3, it is now time for the Sims 4, which was already released back in September 2014 and is still getting tough competition from its earlier version.  The Sims 3 still remains the winner within the Sims franchise, but the Sims 4 has its own plus points.

With the zones separating the Sims World, there is less of driving around now to let there be more focus on the main gameplay. The major drawback of the Sims 4 is the loading time for every action. However, since the loading time and smooth gameplay of the Sims 4 depends on the computer, this problem can be excused. Another factor gamers are not happy with is the comeback of the 'Warp Work' because of which when a character goes to work, it doesn't come back anytime soon.

The Sims 4 features only limited aspects and leaves out eye-catching components like schools, pools and more importantly, kids and pets. These are indeed essential aspects of any addictive life simulation game. Due to these problems of its successor, the Sims 3 is reported 'the best' of all Sims games even today.

Despite all these drawbacks, there are still some reasons why Sims 4 is still in the game because of its Create-A-Sim feature. Yet another striking Sims 4 feature is the new Build Mode that has been improved to be the best. The Sims 4 graphics are also better than in the Sims 3 and so is the gameplay though the components are limited.

Though the good aspects of the Sims 4 are few, they make all the difference to make it an addictive life simulation game because ultimately, fun and an exciting gameplay is what matters. Those who choose the strong base of the Sims 3 might not like the Sims 4 but those who are more interested in the overall performance and graphics can very well get a copy of the latest Sims game!
