This is absolutely one of my favorite games ever. It is the closest video game adaption to DnD I have ever played. So glad to see you writing about it! I think the ability to create your own campaigns is fantastic. Can't wait for Solasta II!

While I would love for Sims to be open world again like TS3, there were many sacrifices made with that. One of my favorite things about The Sims is being able to play multiple households for multiple generations. That was impossible in TS3 without losing wants and suffering from save file corruption, rendering a lot unplayable by the 3rd generation. TS2 is still my go-to for Sims. I play every day and have over 100 playable lots and have great great great grandkids. I'm happy to endure the loading screens. If they ever are able to have both an open world and multiple generations, I'm all in.
