Guess my story telling is too mundane for the likes of you. I also normally do only regular sims for my story telling, not occult states. The things I dislike about the game have more to do with game performance and less to do with the looks. From what I gather just from reading, the ones upset are upset there is not "pretty looking" animation. I really do not care about how occult sims look when transforming, so I am not to blame.
Really? TS4 simmers ought to support each other even if they have different likes and dislikes. Because if something affects one group, it will affect the others as a whole. If you give the devs a pass on something you don't care about, then they might cut something out later on that you want. Look at the game itself - it's not as good as it can be because TS4 simmers just accept what they get and make excuses for it.
What more support do others need for the game to just "look more pretty?" There are pretty backdrops, pretty graphics, and pretty reused animation. There is enough "pretty" to go around in the game. What I am looking for is more substance in the gameplay rather than just how it looks. Maybe once they upgrade the game to 64 bit only, it will get more gameplay substance. With mermaids, I would assume they want to stay hidden/secret so why make a public spectacle type of animation. They were added to an expansion, so I assumed they were just as fleshed out as aliens who are also part of an expansion. It looks like those who like vampires or magic will get full "pretty looking" occult that some wanted. Mermaids are not the main feature to the pack. That seems to be more along the lines of conservation and eco-living.
I myself want more features and worthwhile gameplay, however just because they move to 64 bit does not always translate to them providing better tricks because some may as well depend on the engine capabilities. Everything I see in Sims 4 is candy for the eyes and they use that candy to serve it's purposes. Old school is out and New school is in and it is evident in this version which for me shows Sims 4 has the cabilities of an tablet/Smartphone game as it does not capitialize on any of the capablities of my systems outside of the GPU. What problems Sims 3 had back then should not even be an reason to say Sims 4 would have it especially with the rapid advancement of technology today and if an company takes the time to tweak what they have and it is not like Sims 4 is not having problems even if it is less powerful than Sims 3. I rather wait and see what EA/Maxis do to take advantage of the 64 bit tech and if they do that would be an plus and if they don't oh well.
