The game is going to die and the reason is clear
I was actually one of the first people here in this sub to get the 2.0 update back in December.
Out of curiosity about what it’s like for a new player these days, I created a new city.
It’s no wonder players are leaving the game in droves; by level 8 or 9 at the latest, it becomes extremely unrealistic and ridiculous.
If you start the game as a new player with no experience, you’ll be leaving the game by level 4 or 5 at the latest.
I still can’t quite get my head round why EA did this in the first place. OK, EA was sold, but why destroy a successful game?
(This is what a Level 11 city currently looks like, with around 30,000 Sims.)
