Seems kind of cheap if they decide to add reading in lounge chairs to a University pack. Tanning and Sunbathing I could understand keeping that action to an EP because Base game doesn't have summer to tan or sunburn the sims. But the base game does have books so I feel it should be a free update to the base game. especially since so far it looks like the only action you can do with a lounge chair is sit lounge and drink.

Maybe it will be included in a pre-University patch. :)

Why do you and others who comment like you keep letting EAxis get away with this with comments like this? It's always maybe they will do it next patch or the patch after that. It took how long for us to get lounge chairs and they still half baked it. To be honest I'm sick of it and sick of holding my tongue about it. I didn't pay all this money to get half baked base game content that came COMPLETED, mind you, in previous iterations base game. It's not right. And then we get simmers like you who keep commenting like this is okay. Now wonder this game keeps getting all this problematic half baked content with no real fixes.


Btw don't care if I get banned for saying this. I'm sick of it all. And tired of watching what I say on here. They need to hear this. It's honest feedback from an unsatisfied customers who's been a customer for over a decade.

You're giving me, and others who comment like me, too much credit. There is a fixed budget for animations. You'll never know what would have been left out if sleeping, reading, and reclined talking animations had been added to lounge chairs but there is always a trade off. It's been almost 5 years. You should know that by now.

We were told the cost of producing lounge chairs that were compatible with multitasking was literally the hold up. We were told this was the reason we would never see them in any pack other than an expansion because the sheer cost of doing them the right way was too much for any other pack.

So instead of defending the poor work put on display with the lounger why not try being realistic? Why are we now settling for trade offs when literally we were told exactly what the holdup was, and now that all is said and done that wasn’t even remotely true.

What would have been cut if they would have done what they said they were doing all along? No idea, but I’m not going to pretend that their rational makes sense here - at all. They have discarded a core component of the game, does that kind of thing really not matter to you? Stand up for this game if you like it so much, complacency is just allowing them to take advantage of people who defend the straight up lies they tell.

ETA: like if they were gonna do so little they should have came out with this years ago. They brought backlash on themselves by misleading players here 110% for YEARS. Can’t even disagree there because they absolutely did that, and they did it because they know a handful of simmers will defend anything they do no matter what. No offense but that’s exactly what you have been doing this whole thread and it’s very annoying.
