Do they really ‘listen’?
Hold your rants and negativity! This isn’t an attack against th Gurus and EA, as angry and upset as I am with the recent Maxis Monthly, I’m here to ask what’s on everyone’s mind following the news of ...

Given some time to poorly gather some hopefully correct wording, I want to further this explanation post by describing some of the issues happening with my game, not as in bugs but from what I’ve experienced during sims 4’s lifespan and the content given.
And to just put it out there, no this is not just another “omg they didn’t deliver what I wanted, I’m so furious about the lack of content I personally asked for” plum no! This is about content many simmers have asked for and noticed issues with involving depth and the like.
Speaking of depth, that is one of the biggest topics on this post, depth and the lackthereof installed into various packs, not just content wise, but the whole span of releases over the last few years have lacked it in various ways: when I talk about this, yes I do want to bring attention to dogs with the cats and dogs pack, also just the title itself, cats and dogs, nothing else, we had to have a pack released introducing hamsters and that was it, no birds, no turtles, no small pets we could have wander around the house or let escape, it’s just “you get cat, and you get dog, you can have both, or neither, but nothing else unless you buy this small stuff pack that comes with a hamster. Also said hamster comes in different swatches”
Plus, dogs are just as lacking, cats can do a fair amount more and yes that’s how they are in life itself, but dogs have a multitude of skills depending on their personality, and as we dog owners can admit, we’ve had pets who can open dogs, feed themselves, sneak around, trick you for treats and so much more. Pets itself for me is lacking, but again, that’s just me, I’m not speaking for everyone else on this topic but feel free to speak up with your dislikes about this pack.
Moving into vampires....yes, the system is far better than it used to be, I do enjoy certain aspects of the pack, but as a creature...they don’t interact much with the world, they come with too few items, a tiny world and not enough ways to impact it.
Don’t get me wrong, I love Vlad, he’s actually the highlight of the pack, but that’s all it is and I know this sounds like I want a lot more for vampires but in all honesty, I do, vampires should have been an expansion on its own with a bigger world and more interactions and powers, more things for them to do and a real storyline. Throwback to the sims 2/3 days which I know are long gone but that’s what made the games so good, they had depth regardless of the bugs and computer killing storage space.
Now to seasons: snows lack of...literal depth, and hail, now I understand that obviously some content was a system no no, they didn’t have the ability or the time and I’m not angry about that, I know too many people in tech and computer design and software so this is simply a “I don’t like the lack of such and such, but I understand you guys have a plum ton to do”.
With seasons, it could have been more, seasons themselves could have been more as could holidays and content, we could’ve had new occult and animal characters, better Halloween, a decent working father winter, hail could have come as a form of hard rain, or slush, it’s a complicated pack so I don’t want to disrespect the staff by insulting this.
I love the pack, but I also don’t love certain things about it.
Get together.
Get to work.
You can fill in the issues there because at this point I’ve been trying to work on this for an hour and my brain is starting to melt faster than the snow at spring time.
Comment below what packs irk you with their lacking of detail and depth, along with how you feel about what the gurus and staff are doing.
All I ask is no fighting, no negativity, please try to understand each other as well as myself and don’t make this an off topic argument about cheese sandwiches.
I will come back with further posts on this later, but as of right now...I need a drink and a long nap.
