I dont like this pack, ive said that already here. But the way people discuss and put down the gurus/devs is disturbing to me.Seriously, at the end of the day i think simmers are WAYYYY too intense about this stuff. Its just a game. Some themes youll like and some you wont. That doesnt mean they arent working on anything else :|
Did you ever wonder why Will Wright asked people to leave his office when they came to him with ideas for The Sims? Did you ever wonder why The Sims was so successful? Because it wasn't an adventure game, nor a safe space, nor a trend simulator nor a story driven/rpg. Did you ever wonder why The Sims had so many hardships and things in it that those Sims had to deal with and over come? Because he believed the down side of life and failstates were much more interesting than all those things TS4 is about, such as a trend simulator, adventure simulator and or a safe space. No one can even say what TS4 is supposed to be, six years ago it was a soap opera according to Rachel Franklin. Who knows what it is supposed to be tomorrow. But my opinion? It's a slap happy, all over the place, nonsensical soapbox that floats between what they want to play in a game and what they want to convey to young minds in a game, rather than a satire of a life simulator.
EXACTLY! ? Say it louder for the people in the back!
Will Wright had a vision, he knew what he wanted his game to be and it stuck to that vision.
Sims 4 wants to be a safe space where we can all learn and grow, a safe space from bullies. (Community manager’s words not mine) a game about drama, a representation game where we can all make ourselves live our best lives and now it wants to be a very poor RPG lite.
This is the problem. Sims 4 can’t be jack of all trades. It’s not working.
