Dear Sims team, do you want to take a break?
This is a genuine suggestion of mine. I think you guys have blinders on right now. For a long time it seems you've been releasing and releasing content that is not really groundbreaking. Even the pack...

I think it would do the team good to take a break. They need to reflect and figure out what they really intended Sims 4 to be.
I think they've been telling us for the last six years. People just aren't listening.
If that's the case they've been saying it's a hollowed out cash grab.
Kind of. If you mean they've been saying they're chasing current trends because they make money, then yes. Star Wars is trending, as was Stranger Things, which StrangerVille was based from. So is "going green", conservation, and tiny homes. They've said they're branching out to try new things and represent more of the modern world, rather than middle class American yesteryear. They've said they're marketing mainly to teen girls, trying to get a new, broader player base which essentially changes what the game is about and also the community as a whole.
They've said a lot of things that have marked changes coming to the Sims franchise as we know it, and they've been pretty transparent about these changes. It doesn't seem to be Maxis who is confused, they seem to know exactly what direction they're heading in, it's the players who are lost. And yeah, it's a sad thing because it means "out with the old, in with the new", and the possibility of an uncertain future for The Sims as we used to know it.
And I'm just trying to be realistic, I'm not trying to make people feel bad. But it's happening, like it or not. Pretending it isn't is only going to lead to unhappiness. Best to try to realize it and move on to the next stage of grief.
