Sad fan

I see SO much potential for the Sims 4 (because the next version is pretty much dead at this point). I seriously don't know why they are wasting so much talent on making generic, small item things. Just got an email for the 'Deck the Palms' event and I see MAGNETS and a couple spongebob themed items?! If you're going to partner with Spongebob, go all the way. Give us a Bikini Bottom world! As a spongebob fan as well, it just seems like a half-a** attempt to partner up with a big brand name. It is a sad excuse for a collaboration. I give harsh criticism because like most of us, Sims has a silly place in our hearts or brains or whatever. I'm 28 (lmao) and I know I'm not the oldest of all the players, but I been playing since I was 14-ish. For the past ~6 years I play because I still love it. However, it just seems like they've never cared about overall game advances like:  visiting other people's worlds, advancing and updating graphic quality, and making packs more affordable (usually 1 world and ~50 items for 60$ new?!) Pretty sure if you wanted to purchase the full sims 4 suite (all the packs), I could legit buy a car or live in mexico for a year. It's criminal. We used to be kids and now we're adults. Stop taking advantage of us please. <3  I have SO many ideas for gameplay/build+buy improvement so if anyone working @ EA reads this all the way pls hit me up!! I'm a dedicated homie who will always have a special spot in my heart for sims,, but I'm gettin tired!!!! Any long term bro's got any input or am I just a whiny baby?

    This is not the first time Sims Collab out of know where we had an Ikea, H&M, Katy Perry's Sweet Treats in the past game versions just like they have a GP about Star Wars.

    Kids play this game as well so doing a collab with SpongeBob was for them and then there's a movie coming out today for SpongeBob. 

    The Sims 5 was never on the horizon not for a long time which I can't stand either. 

    I prefer clutter kits CC kits are okay but the BB clutter kit is my fav.

    valid, valid. I think we might be in different countries lol. EP are 54$ CAD + tax so I rounded up a bit. 

    I agree with giving us bikini bottom would be too weird, but why collab at all with a kids show? I think it's a sprinkle of what's to come. More brand name collaborations, small packs that mean nothing and no sight of sims 5 in the horizon. Just distraction after distraction. 

  • I agree with you 100%

    I'm 68 yrs old & played Sim's from Sim's1  

    No, you're not a whiny baby You're saying it as it is!  🙂

  • The EP are $40 and not $60 the Sims 4 game was $60 when it first came out now it's free for everyone and not a lot of simmers with agree with you on the SpongeBob pack most simmers would disagree about the collaboration in its entirety. So having a bikini bottom world would send most simmers over the edge lol. 

    I got one loved the kits but as kits it would be weird if it was more then kits also I just had this event hopefully we don't have to do special tasks to get the rewards I just want to play the game how I play. 

    Also one world with 60+ items between BB/CAS and including Gameplay it used to $30 with the previous games but you know inflation so now they are $40 dollars but I will be honest some EP are not worth the $40 like EBN, LS, FR, HS, HSY, and what they have in common it's all made by the same team.
