SimGuruNinja

Good Afternoon,

I just saw that SimGuruNinja had to deactivate his twitter account because of all the inappropriate messages he was receiving from people that do not like the latest expansion pack. I find this very upsetting to hear because SimGuruNinja has always been such a positive influence to the community and the team at EA. While I do not know him personally, I do know that he has been working for the company for a long time and has had a part of bringing several Sims products to life. I just want to say that I really appreciate the work that he and the rest of the team has done. Yes, there are issues at times but as a long time player (I played the original Sims in college!) I would like to express how much I have enjoyed the games. This is one of the few games that I play and it gives me the freedom to change my gameplay over time. I have so many different save files that I have created to play with my different moods. No other game has kept me engaged like the Sims do. This letter is just a letter of appreciation. Thank you for your hard work. 

Sincerely,

Jennifer

    I also get frustrated and upset when people harass/bully the sim Gurus. I didn't even really care about the theme of this pack but I bought it on release anyways because the Gurus seemed so excited.  I think the L&D pack is wonderful. I hope the community starts treating the Gurus with a little more empathy and respect in the future.

    The studio need a safe place where they could interact with the community and hear the feedback without violence, The Sims Discord might be more appropriate for this purpose.

    For example InZOI developers only use discord to talk with the community.

      They asked him what winter would look like in the new world and he said that they chose to do always autumn instead, then they said the sims team were lazy and that new worlds should have seasons.  

      That was the gist of it but I read someone threatened him, didn’t see that.  Just people complaining about it.

    Thank you for not condemning the whole simming community over a few angry people on Twitter. 

    This is a much more tasteful approach in expressing your distaste in what happened on Twitter along with showing your appreciation towards the gurus and EA team.

    I was horrified to read that one of the sims team members had to step away from Twitter bc of harassment. I hope he is or will be alright. 

    I agree with you. There's more to love about this game than not. The bugs are for the most part nothing more than quirks.
