I am not saying no one asked for this. I know lots of people like the scifi and supernatural stuff. It's just that I don't. And also: I don't think Tiny Living was so realistic (come on - who lives in a tiny house in real life? I never play with tiny houses and I didn't understand all of the hype when it released, it was rather being hyped by gamechangers than by the community) and Eco Living was more of a joke than an EP. I would have preferred for you guys to have a whole supernatural/scifi EP rather than getting Eco Living. It's not that I don't like it at all, it's just that it wasn't great and basically took an EP slot away from something that could have been better.
I did like Knifty Knitting and University a lot. But I miss lots of family play - the last family gameplay we got was Parenthood... And don't forget: lots of occult players are also family players and they were very neglected with realm of magic not catering to them (children not being able to do magic etc). So lots of occult players would like a Generations EP too!
Oh, I ABSOLUTELY want a generations EP. I want it so bad I expressly want it as an EP so it would be full. I'm glad this Game Pack isn't anything like generations so we can max out the potential for content. So a supernatural, sci-fi, fantastical GP now, and then a Generations EP for Christmas? Would be the best of both worlds in my opinon!
I actually think that Tiny Living was a GREAT stuff pack. Not for everyone, but a lot of the community wanted it. It definitely wasn't just game changers, its popular with them because its popular with the community. It gets views. I understand the hesitation on Eco-Living though. Really was a niche theme... but I did like a lot of the stuff it introduced. More apartments, dynamic environments, etc.
I guess personally, I just think GP are a great opportunity to get zany and try something new/weird and different. I come in ready to hate it. I don't get my expectations too high with them and I'm okay if they do something that flops or isn't for me. I prefer it, actually. Nothing worse than having a GP you hate but has like two features you desperately want, so you have to shell out for the whole GP just to get one gameplay thing. I'd much rather it be something really extreme - either love it or hate it. Dining Out? Couldn't care less. Realm of Magic? Sign me up! Strangerville was really not appreciated, but I was greatful that they tried the style, because you never know what could stick or if I would like it. I want them to push the boundaries somewhere, and GPs feel like the perfect place to do it. There's enough content for it to be explored, but isn't taking up the same attention and resources as an EP would. I don't want to wait until "everything realistic is in the game" before trying something new. On the other hand, SP and EP, those I expect to be more "safe" and to really flesh out the everyday gameplay we desperately need. Nifty Knitting added some great content for that, so did University. I really think whatever expansion we get this year for the christmas season should expand on family gameplay.
