Carl's review of Dream Home Decorator pack is out

I suppose I understand not liking negativity, but you went a step further saying a review was neither "helpful" nor "legitimate" and was even "pointless" and "adolescent" just because you did not like it. I simply do not watch the reviews I do not care for. I do not demean them and their creators.

I thought the deliberate choice of placing only dog poop in a build was "adolescent" not Carl himself. Ditto the description of this approach to discussing the pack as pointless. I suppose I should have explained more clearly that the review seemed pointless to me because I am interested in the career, that I didn't particularly find it helpful personally speaking because I didn't learn anything useful about the pack or how it worked. I played the original career extensively in Sims 3 and would really have appreciated a longtime Sims 3 player like Carl pointing out similarities and differences for instance (not that I had any particular expectations going in).

You seem to be deliberately misrepresenting my words by quoting them out of context and ignoring my general point about the review. You are also attributing to me opinions that I never said I hold. I have never judged how anyone else, least of all Carl, plays the game, people are free to play how they like and I certainly have no opinion or negative judgment about it. In a thread about a review, I posted my thoughts on why I did not find this to be a valuable or useful review due to its unbalanced nature and failure to treat the career in an objective way. I enjoy plenty of reviews that have negative or critical elements and still find them useful. For me, Carl's was not; it was just inflammatory. And disagreeing with someone's approach to a subject is not about demeaning them, it's about refuting, intellectually, their argument. His argument was that the pack was worthless because it was easily broken; I don't happen to agree. But I won't repeat all my points again. Peace.
