hi, yes, there are parts of the game that are simplistic. but that's ok. it doesn't have to be complex. and not being funny here, but candy crush is way more popular? ... games don't have to be amazingly complex, or advanced, to be fun. and yeah. the modding community for ti is huge. and that's what a lot of people do, is mod it. and it's easy to do. all we need now, is a mod, that lets us play it. lol. but that's a little more advanced then i think the modding could handle. dallas
