Plopsy - too random?

I love the Plopsy feature, and it is even fun just to check what's on offer. Some of my sims bought many items, while a few might just look in case there is something special.

I'm playing rotationally, and I was thinking that Plopsy could easily be a tad more realistic if it only (or mainly) offered stuff that some sim already provided by selling on Plopsy. I have sims crafting most available crafts, and when browsing the offers seeing familiar names offering the goods, it would certainly add to the community feeling of my game. I guess we don't really need to be this realistic - offers reflecting what is actually sold, but it would also trigger more of my sims to actually sell n Plopsy.

Or maybe we could have a Plopsy 2.0 in the future,  basing its offers on real providers and their crafts?

Any thoughts on this?

  • That wouldn't be helpful for people who don't play that many crafting sims. I like that it's possible to buy some things without having to create them yourself, and the offer is quite varied. Same as with the sales tables in community places, you never know what is going to come up for sale. My sims usually sell on Plopsy stuff for which they don't need the sale money right away. For quick sales I just sell from inventory.  Maybe they could make it so items for sale from other played sims are listed while you are not playing them, but this should be in addition to the random sellers, maybe you could click on them and see all their stuff for sale. It could be helpful if you want to sell something to a certain sim, like a portrait of them or something.
