Can you be more transparent about the content that won't be added? Still so many people are asking for the open world, color wheel, cars, etc.
It would be helpful if you made it official what content won't be added. People are still secretly hoping you will include cars in game - but if you don't plan to do it, it would be best to let us know.
Why do you include stuff from paid DLCs later in update of base game? Why is the stuff people paid for made free after some time? There are clothes, hairs and even some build & buy items patched in the base game after some time of the pack's release. Also I understand why do you recycle old animations - but why do you recycle content from past packs? There are clothes from different packs that are almost same except one little detail - for example jacket from Snowy Escapes is so similar to another jacket, the only detail that was changed is the collar. Or food stalls that are just recolors of the first one.
What do you say about some groundbreaking mods? Like Brookheights mod, which is an open world mod, or Farmlands, another open world mod including farming, made by Arnie, or color sliders mods for hairs and clothes by thepancake1 and MizoreYukii. Or BetterSims by Midiar that overhauls personality of Sims and makes it better. So why you haven't made yet color sliders or even color wheel since two modders did it? Or why is the personality so lacking when one person is totally remaking it? Or the open world - we were told it is not possible, yet here we are with a mod that makes a world open.
Is there possible chance you would collab with modders and make such stuff possible? Like maybe remaking your version of open world and let us visit without loading screens all lots in the sub neighborhood? Or giving us official color sliders for hairs?
What was the real reason to not make animals playable? Someone from your team told us that we don't control our animals in real life - was this the real reason? We can't be vampires, spellcasters, meirmaids nor we can't travel to Batoo. The reason for pets not being playable isn't really good one. Would you make pets playable via update?
Are you planning to revisit some older packs and update them like you asked us in the poll last year? Some packs really need this. Like maybe give us skill tree for all occults we have - or give us playable underwater area.
What is the reason that male sims don't get much content compared to female sims? And male kids and toddlers are totally forgotten. Will you be addressing this issue by giving us free updates to fix this? And would it be possible to have solely clothes for teens and elders?
Why do you make us pay for representation / diversity? For example Snowy Escape made us pay for japanesse culture or Jungle Adventure for south american culture. Same was happening with the Sims 3 store. Why do Simmers have to pay to feel represented in game?
