I think its sad, that this game is about the players and not so much about the sims themselfs, basically confirming that its also the community that keeps the game a float. I dont like how they made this game a tool for a safe space to express yourself. Everything is a trigger. Maybe thats why we dont have burglars. I dont like how they try to make this game a second life kind of thing you know? Or how they try to be Diverse(TM) or politicial. I liked it better when it was an alternative Universe with some refrences.

Mt.Komorebi Disscussions and cultural controversy.

I do wish they'd stay away from Diversity™ pandering & promotion and instead try to implement systems in game that allow you to create/customize your own cultures or practices. And delve into sim personalities instead of just physical appearances or superficial stuff :/

Exactly
I was very curious when the rebranding started, but when they released this sort of freedom/therapy add that basically defines the Sims4 it was quiet telling. But i guess they also want to be trendy/woke and get down with the kids these days

This is why we have players demanding the exact eyebrow shape that they have in real life, the exact underlying skin tones, when i just sit here and use the maybe 20Skintones even though we have 100+. Its still a game where a sim looks like a Disney character.

Can we not expect to have equal content for Live Mode/CAS and Build&Buy in every patch that they release. And not only prior to a pack release to make the pack look more full.

2020 and i can think of maybe 3 things that was added in LiveMode Gameplay. Beeing new
- Firefighters (Before Eco Livestyle)
- Sentiments (Before SE) adding more Sentiments only in that pack yet

I'm pretty sure that when TS4 was in development, it was supposed to be a second life competitor. That's why the focus is on the player rather than the sim. You were supposed to only use these sims as avatars and not play a family or how we have played in the past.

Yet it seems like they are trying the same approach again in the future or even now? Before you know it EA is going to sell narcissism rather then a game.
