"The Sims 4" has many qualities that get overlooked because of the lack of an open world and other attributes "The Sims 3" possessed. This game has many great aspects about it that need more appreciation! The first part of my adulation for the game wasn't enough love, so here's the second part!

8. The complexities of the family tree.

If your family isn't the regular family, your family tree allows you to know if another sim isn't your full-blooded relative (i.e., stepmom, stepdad, stepsister, stepbrother, in-laws, half-sister, half-brother, step-grandpa, step-grandma). I think this feature is neat.

9. The addition of the game packs.

The addition of this pack further distinguishes the expansion packs from the stuff packs. It plays as a middle ground between the two -- expansion packs include large amounts of upgrades to your game (i.e., new world, activities, new buildings, interactions), whereas stuff packs include new items for your game (i.e., clothes, hairstyles, household objects). Game packs include new gameplay features, objects, experiences, but not necessarily to the extent the expansion packs do. In essence, expansion packs are at the top, with game packs following after, and then stuff packs.

10. The pregnancies look more realistic.

In "The Sims 3," the pregnancies didn't look as realistic as they do in "The Sims 4." Look at the differences:

Not only are pregnancies more realistic in looks, but also in interactions and sims' needs. In "The Sims 4," your hunger and bladder motives are affected greatly and decrease at a higher rate, which is awesome! I love the realistic aspect.

11. Creating-A-Sim features and additions.

When creating your sim in the beginning, you have a more advanced control of the features you want on your sim. You can choose how far away you want your eyes to be, how pouty you want your lips to look, how small or wide you want your hips, how big or small you want your feet to be, and you can manipulate the size and shape of your sim.

12. The teenagers can exchange promise rings.

I think this feature is so cute! If your teen sim's relationship with their partner is going great, you can exchange promise rings with each other. I remember I did this with my teen sim at one time and when they and their partner became young adults, I had them become engaged and then married.

13. You can move from one world to another without starting over.

I enjoy the action of moving around as I please from world to world without having to start over from scratch, in achievements, promotions, and other things!

If I have learned one thing in my lifetime, it is that friends are a privilege. No one is required to give you their company and yet there is some sort of shared connection that keeps you together. And from that friendship, you may even find yourself lucky enough to have a few more friends, thus forming a group. Here are just a few signs that prove your current friend group is the ultimate friend group.

When it comes to television, there’s very few sets of on-screen siblings that a lot of us can relate to. Only those who have grown up with siblings knows what it feels like to fight, prank, and love a sibling. Ross and Monica Geller were definitely overbearing and overshared some things through the series of "Friends," but they captured perfectly what real siblings feel in real life. Some of their antics were funny, some were a little weird but all of them are completely relatable to brothers and sisters everywhere.

1. The Legacy.

Her sister was a member, her mom was a member, all of her aunts were members, and her grandma was a member. She has been waiting her whole life to wear these letters and cried hysterically on bid day. Although she can act entitled at times, you can bet she is one of the most enthusiastic sisters.

Every kid in college and/or high school dreams of summer the moment they walk through the door on the first day back in September. It becomes harder and harder to focus in classes and while doing assignments as the days get closer. The winter has been lagging, the days are short and dark, and no one is quite themselves due to lack of energy and sunlight. Let's face it: life is ten times better in the summertime.
