If they had announced a farming pack or a ski resort pack instead of SW, we still would be waiting on babies and cars (not to mention bug fixes) the same way we're doing today, because the theme of one of the packs they've been working on is separate from to those problems. But people are angry it's a SW pack specifically.
I don't care for some of those things (babies and cars), but I have other things I agree on (better personalities, better romance, spiral staircases, etc) + bug fixes I need asap, and I would still need them no matter the next pack theme because they should be free updates lol. It's not like I was expecting a pack called Let's Get Fixing that would take care of that.
(@Cinebar I would consider EL, JA and IL life simulation. I didn't realize some people didn't.)
I believe the difference is that with Ski resorts and farms these things have been asked for by so many people, so many times. You can’t go to any social media group, site, post asking what people want without seeing majority of the comments asking for cows, hotels, generations. These were knowingly wanted, if you want them or not is irrelevant, these are things the community has been begging for for years over and over, it is a known fact even outside the Sims community how badly people want farms and hotels. I have never, ever seen a single person post ‘ya know what would be cool? A Star Wars story based RPG inside the sims.’ IF there were just as much hooting and hollering for Star Wars as even a Veganism pack I don’t think the reaction would be as bleak and negative as it is, I think people would still be upset but we’d understand that this was something wanted by a vast number of the community. I know I for one wouldn’t have been so shocked. It’s not about Star Wars, I personally love Star Wars. It’s about feeling ignored, and honestly it’s also about feeling like our voices were silenced for a Disney world advertisement. Heck, I believe this would have been better received if it were based on the actual movies and not Disney’s Galaxys Edge. People are right to be offended, and it’s okay if you’re not but at least try to understand why people are so angry.
Also going to add, literally all I want is burglars back, everything else is a pleasant surprise.
The last couple of packs gave us candle making and knitting, so they do need to vary it up a little (I think the bigger mistake was EL which even realism players weren't really feeling). But what you're saying is true, maybe if it had been werewolves, which has been requested by many, it would have been better received. Maybe it's 'cause the last supernatural pack was witches and it didn't match some sort of release pattern? I don't know when they may have started to work on this pack, but I imagine most feedback that's less than a year old would be of little use in stopping a project like this. It also kind of makes sense to me that they would try to make at least one surprising announcement after a community-voted pack and some content from previous iterations.
(Oof, in one of the last surveys there was a box asking what you'd like to see more of and I did ask for more SW content, as I knew it to be possible since we got the costumes. Can't know if anyone else did but never in a million years did I think a pack was possible or I probably would have brought up the suggestion tbh.)
