I have been playing The Sims since TS1: House Party was released - I worry that The Sims will not be a thing in the next 10 years because of the direction it’s being taken. Here are my thoughts:
- How many different packs need to be released until somebody realises that the majority of the content should be in the base game, especially Kits. Stop monetising everything unless you fill each pack with innovative features and gameplay just like TS1 packs otherwise drop the prices of each pack by 50%.
- Will TS4 ever be bug free? It seems the more content that is added, the bugs list just increases - surely you would focus on removing all the bugs and then add new content so it’s less work on fixing, allowing more time to focus on other areas?
- Will all TS4 packs that have been released till now, ever receive revamp treatment? There are so many missed opportunities on the majority of the packs that they just feel incomplete and as a player that’s been playing The Sims for so long, I actually avoid playing because it’s very mundane.
- Would you agree that quarterly feedback/suggestion surveys would be helpful for the Guru’s to really focus on the community rather than skim through the forums that aren’t exactly direct to a particular area.
- Arrange for more community collaborations rather than just once a year when TS turns another year older.
