There is a LOT to unpack here oh my god. It feels like the Sims 5 we have been waiting years for, it has that feeling of playing something truly trying to evolve the genre. However there are still problems with the game for as much as it does good it feels like it equally does bad.

- UI/UX is a horrible cluttered mess! and most of it is so yassified and quirky looking on purpose. I find myself confused on what is useful, where its located, or what happened to my zoi or in the world - ALL THE TIME. I get that the game is very feature rich, which is hard to design for, but throwing the players into this and giving them a handbook for the first open of the game is a bad sign.

- A very high amount of features that feel or literally are half baked, yet still included to overwhelm the player. For example the NVIDIA specific feature that is once again being shoehorned in, leaving AMD (or intel I guess) with nothing. Good thing the feature is mainly useless sounding.

- Performance is not amazing either despite the requirements and has stuttering due to Unreal 5 as usual.
Side note: I think its funny, yet equally sad, how its 2025 and we still cant make an open world like Sims 3 without it still stuttering in some way. Almost like the idea is cursed.

- Speaking of open world, the quality is very poor and leads to bad object distance rendering. The beach area is the worst for this because you go to there thinking its empty then you move two feet and suddenly a whole bunch of towels, beach balls, and buildings spawn right in front of you. I am running on max settings so this has to be a glitch.

Finally the most annoying of all is the fact that this game is always online and has a cryptic EULA Privacy Policy legal garbage statement upon starting the game. And a third party account login for extra content, that does NOT link to steam automatically, you must do it yourself then login.
