"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!

One of my biggest pet peeves is when someone does not try to help their self before asking others. How can someone else be expected to help you if you do not first do that yourself? I'm all about helping those that need it when the time comes, however whenever someone does not even attempt to help him or herself first then that becomes a huge problem. As we all have learned, people tend to take advantage of us in one way or another. I am sure we all read this short story when we were younger and it follows that same principle:
