Why the hate?

I have literally been playing the sims since day one of the sims. I was at the computer store as soon as it was open to buy the disks for the sims. That means decades of me playing the sims. This name Valairia1 has been on the forums since the sims.

I keep supporting and buying for the sims franchise and i haven't been unhappy. Sure there are bugs and glitches but that happens in a lot of games. If you hate the sims? why are you buying the sims stuff? I watch youtube creators and hear a ton of vitriol and still the keep buying stuff. If you don't like it don't buy it.

Trolls on the forums, youtube, facebook are annoying me. I want to have fun and try to provide constructive feedback to EA to fix the bugs. I am not sure, if all they hear is negative, why they would try to fix or relate to us as a community? The developers are trying to fix stuff and come up with new stuff. I am in no hurry to see a sims 5 since i really like 4. So in the spirit of holiday cheer, let us focus on what we love about the sims and give a break to complaining. It is, in the end, just a game, an expensive game, but just a game

The team has had positive feedback from many simmers for 10 yrs.
The game is a mess for most players today with bugs in many EP's that have not been solved..at some point people who invest in this game need to start demanding fixes before requesting new DLC.
Adding recycled, redressed gameplay is not what I am use to after playing 1,2 and 3.
Fixing the base is good but it is not adding new and exciting gameplay which is what a lot of simmers want.

I wouldn't call it hate, more frustration that is expressed in a negative way. Many of us have spent tons of money on this game, and also gotten tons of fun out of it. But when bugs interrupt the fun people get frustrated, especially when they don't get fixed.

I do agree that a more positive approach is better and gives more motivation for the team to get things fixed, but leaving feedback in the written form on internet can be misinterpreted, someone might have meant something nice but whoever read it might have taken it as something negative. Like this reply, I mean well and no harm, but someone who reads it might see it as something negative.
With that said, I wish you a festive winter season with lots of laughs and happiness!

I could not agree with you more. I have already told the few groups I am in (by the way they are all 3 of them great groups) I am leaving facebook as of Friday. The mean girl syndrome is large there. Thank you for the positive post and I bet the gurus have been shocked today as I did one earlier too! Welcome to the positive simmers club!
