Wish List Item: Please give us a choice with add-on packs!
The Legacy Edition came with the edition of certain "Packs" that were never a part of any of my disk games. Never. You could download the characters from the commercials, if you chose. I chose not to. I've never heard of this massive group of mutant/army/futuristic skins that fill my skin data folder. I would rather not a) have NPC Sims randomly spawn looking like that in any of my places (Downtown, Magic Town, Studio Town) nor b) have to scroll through endless amounts of non-desirable faces and outfits that are better suited to a war game than the Sims.
Choice is a wonderful thing. It's much of the appeal of The Sims: You tell your story your way, you choose how to play, you even choose which custom content to include. Frankly, having these packs automatically included limits my choice. I pull them out of the folder and then the program "nags" me about needing file repairs. Not being able to trust that my files have not become corrupted, I need to periodically "repair" them, which means the EA app will reinstall them. It's time consuming, bothersome, and limits my enjoyment of the game.
Please, please, please, EA, consider making this a choice - a tick box even, for installing the game.
Sincerely,
A long time fan since 2000
