Do they really ‘listen’?

I think certain individuals throw the word "we" around far too much. I don't personally care about babies, policemen, burglars, firemen, or cars (all things you've mentioned.) To much of the community this probably makes my opinion worthless, but it rather works out in my favor that they aren't listening to what "we" apparently want and need. Or at least it should in theory, but the stuff they've been putting out instead hasn't exactly been to my interests either

Still, I think it's important to realize that we aren't a hive mind and if the developers only ever paid attention to the people that scream the loudest (family players), it'd leave a lot of other people out in the dark.

I haven't noticed if family players got more than anyone else, other than toddlers and a GP about parenting I don't see they racked up anymore than those who wanted occults, who got two other life forms and a GP. Then deviant players (who may also be family and occult players) haven't seen much other than the one GP about Vampires and a few things an alien or scientist can do to stir up trouble. Come to think about it, I think devs got more added to this game they wanted rather than what any fans wanted. Even those who like to fill aspirations and skills and follow direction haven't gotten hardly any new aspirations to fill (not enough for 5 years' length) or skills to learn, but just reused objects, and skills and aspirations that venture into the same areas we already have. And builders...well, hardly anything at all.
