Could Moschino Be Coming to the Sims?

Um.. weird. I’m all for cashing in on some cross-promotional stuff, but this really doesn’t make any sense at all. I had not heard of them until this, and after looking at what they actually sell I’m confused over who is even wearing these clothes. Are that many players wearing downright hideous $1000+ outfits? I hardly think these clothes are practical, are players supposed to spend like $300 for a Sims inspired shirt? Lol no thanks. Branded tie in’s should be practical, which this Moschino is absolutely not.

Quite a few celebrities play The Sims these days -- maybe it's to attract them? I'm personally out of the demographic for 99.9% of the collection but I'd wear some of the clothses if I was maybe 40 or so years younger.

I highly doubt that. Advertisements should realistically reach a broad audience. You will never find ads created and ran to appeal exclusively to famous celebrities. That would be targeting such a small insignificant portion of the player base. There’s only been a few instances were anyone remotely famous has mentioned Sims/Sims 4 without it being a sponsored ad. JK Rowling is the only one that comes to mind with Sims 4.

Idk why they chose this company, but the clothes are without a doubt overpriced and ugly. No matter how you look at it this collaboration is not practical. No one, and I repeat, no one is going to rush off to spend over $300 on a garment just because it’s from a collaborative set with The Sims. Something funny, well more along the lines of ridiculous but it gave me a good laugh, the designer/owner of this company has his own self-described “affordable line” of clothes. The reason he calls them affordable is because they retail for less than $300, all of them still cost over $100. A hat cost $90. EA needs to be realistic here, no one playing this game is buying these clothes and running a collaboration is not going to change that.
