But... They said this could not be done! Did they lie to us!?
Just like the Fear emotion that was a hard "NO!" since 2014 and then suddenly was just... there? Somehow?
It's almost like they heard the community and kept working on it until they found a way to do it.
I know.
I was here on launch day.
I have said it before, I do not actually think they are lying when they tell us the game engine can't do something.
BUT I am 100% serious when I say it is their fault, because they choose an inferior engine.
Remember, the engine was optimized for online play aka "Second Life" but kid rated (hence the loading screens and neighborhoods). It literally could not do basements at release.
That's the reason, btw, why pools didn't exist: Pools are basements with open tops, they literally could not be built; they released a Sims game with no mechanic in the engine for basements. They had to patch that functionality into the game engine after release.
So again, there is a difference at being angry at someone for refusing to tow a concrete slab with a bicycle. That is wrong and tacky. But you have all the right in the world to be mad at the person choosing to show up with a bicycle when he KNEW he was expected to tow a concrete slab.
I sometimes think that's why I'm a little less frustrated than some other players. See, I wasn't here on launch day. I thought the game was missing some basic things I needed to enjoy the gameplay and so I happily kept playing TS3 until late 2015. Either way, I think it is important that people voice their issues. And because everything depends on a budget it should be done clearly and repeatedly and yet always respectfully. Not saying that you don't do that - I wouldn't know - but the tone sometimes bothers me, especially on Social Media. The devs are just people doing their jobs within the constraints of a budget. And I believe they explore the possibility of implementing everything major parts of the community are asking for. But that's just my opinion.
