Greater depth to the different life stages provides enough fresh material to make it worth revisiting your Sims’ worlds for another go around, particularly when it comes to pranking neighbors with flaming dog poo and other mischievous tricks. But Generations doesn’t usher in the same level of sweeping change found in the last few expansions. As a result, it comes across as a weak link in the chain.

With each expansion, The Sims 3 experience becomes more and more complete. At the time of writing, a new ‘stuff’ pack and the Pets content expansion had already been announced. As we said, on its own Generations isn’t going to do much for your experience, but in conjunction with everything else it just makes for a more interesting experience. The Sims 3 was always going to be a long term investment - and this is just one more step on the road.

Avare en termes de contenu, faussement innovant, exagérément centré sur les enfants et les adolescents au détriment des adultes et des seniors, Les Sims 3 : Générations ne parvient pas non plus à faire évoluer le gameplay dans le bon sens. A moins d'être un inconditionnel de la série, l'investissement risque de laisser un goût amer.

Peu original, ce quatrième add-on ne fait que balancer quelques bonnes idées sans s'y attarder, comme si tout avait été imaginé un peu à la va-vite, et comme s'il fallait contenter les Sims eux-mêmes plutôt que le joueur en apportant du gameplay. Certaines fonctionnalités peu utiles et peu travaillées, comme l'utilisation des réseaux sociaux, semblent même avoir été incorporées uniquement par souci démagogique.

Personalmente devo ammettere di aver davvero apprezzato Generations proprio alla luce di questa sua estrema concretezza - poter approfondire la vita di tutti i giorni, piuttosto che dedicarsi ad attività spesso fini a se stesse, è ciò che aspettavo da parecchio - ma è indubbio che forse gli sviluppatori avrebbero potuto fare qualcosa in più sotto svariati punti di vista.
