Behind The Sims! 25 Hour Live Stream And Giveaway Info Added

So, a lot of pros and cons for me. 

Like: Nostalgic items from past games!
Dislike: Having to grind through an event to get them. (And not knowing if phones are even functional.)

Like: New hairs and clothing!
Dislike: Baby hairs. I wish they would do two versions for those who don't want them. Also, some of the clothing looks kind of low quality and bland. Lacks texture. 

Like: Content and collaborations!
Dislike: More darn kits. Meh. 

The rest: Good, I guess. New build items are nice. Not sure what the livestream is going to be about, but it's nice they're doing it. New menu, don't really see that as an anniversary thing, lol. Just an update. 

Some critique: I feel that a lot of these things have nothing to do with a Sims anniversary, like all the kits, the menu, even the CAS and B/B drop. We get updates like that all the time and it's not so different from any other year. The nostalgia items and livestream are really the different things, but we've been having "events" already, forcing people to log in to their games every week, so even that's business as usual. 

Not trying to sound ungrateful, it's nice we're getting free things. I guess I was just hoping for an update to Sims 1 and/or Sims 2 so they could be played on modern systems. 

I'm totally geeking out about the telephones & alarm clock.  So hoping they are playable objects.

So... am I the only one who dislikes the addition of baby hair? :(

You won't believe how long I've been waiting for landline telephones in this game. PLEASE let them be functional.

I really hope that “Nostalgia Now” means releasing the older games for download on modern PCs. Such a hassle just now getting them set up and fiddling with graphics settings.

Cozy Bundle coming to PC? But isn't MySims already on EA App? What about those players who already have that?

Finally we've got the in-game day of week and time !!!

In addition to the phones, clock & cake, I hope that is a functional buffet table in Week 2.

What ??? Bella is reported missing again ?

ah so excited and I actually really am looking forward to those freebies and the menu change I think it was a nice set up for 25 years. 🎊🎂
