I think they make it that simple for people who want to get into the meat of the gameplay without much effort. Like how it doesn't take much to transform into a mermaid. The EP occults are more simple to access.
and my feedback is that those people need to stop being catered to first and foremost because this is a video game and it requires structured rules and goals to be a "game" and not a "toy".
If they want to skip all the gameplay there are always cheats. There are no cheats to make the game have meaningful complexity for those of us who want to actually PLAY the game.
Wow! Thank you!😁
I agree with this So Much!
I'm pretty sure some people will want to turn off fairies because they bought the EP for build/buy....🙄
Intern_Waffle_64, Unfortunately it is a sandbox style game and not a traditional rpg style. They are trying to cater to casual players and not players like you that like more structured rules and goals. I am a more casual player, but I also do not play with occults. My kids are not so casual players, but prefer simpler gameplay when it comes to all sandbox style games. They like the not so hard way to become occults.If they want more structured or rules based games, they have other games for that.
Then play with cheats. That's what they're for. "Sandbox" does not mean "mindless" and it doesn't mean "simple" and it doesn't mean "easy" and it doesn't mean "absolutely no structured content whatsoever". It means choose what you want to do, not "everything you can do is super easy just in case a toddler wants to play".
If YOU want LESS structured games, you have cheats for that. I like modding but I don't WANT to have to mod the game myself for tens of hours just to get expansion packs to have actual proper gameplay systems in them. They should be there from the start.
We're 11 years into this game and while a lot of it is much easier than earlier games, nothing's been this bad before. Everything you can do in this pack is just wild wish fulfillment pretend nonsense that completely breaks the entire game. From the Natural Living skill basically making owning a house pointless (And even saying in its description that you can just not have a house anymore) to everything fairies can do being so overpowered they never need to do anything anyway, why even play the game at that point?
If you want to play with no motive decay and infinite money we have, and have always had, two cheats for that. They need to be making a good game with good balance and good gameplay structure and design FIRST, and the people who want to ignore all that can press ctrl-shift-c and type in motherlode like they always have! It's ridiculous how dumbed down and simple all this stuff is.
Why bother having a luck system, a balance system, an ailment system, if none of it matters because everything is so easy to do and solve and ignore?
So simple.
I prefer in game cheats instead asking EA to turn off a major features in an EP or Pack.
You need to Play the game it's not a toy.
Edit: players need to beat every aspect of this game from collections, skills and family trees(which need updating).
