- samsam713Seasoned NewcomerSpecifically the Goth family? I don’t really think so. I fully understand the desire for an official overhaul on the looks to match the sims from previous iterations.
However, I do feel that they mismanaged the Lore Update this time for making it an incremental release—with zero lore update at all. I would rather see a complete, single roll-out since it was promoted as an update to the intra- and interpersonal content of the NPCs.
If they are going for a proper lore update for these sims, I’d be on the opposite camp of the majority on this thread—the team should replace the default households and upload the original ones onto the Gallery. You can’t save inter-household data onto the Galley, and the original NPCs don’t have any, which makes them the logical choice to upload. The default ones should have the proper lores among themselves and within their towns/Worlds. - ck213Seasoned ScoutNone of it matters to me.
I am working on a save that that edits the townies I like and replace the others with my CAS sims.
I will be using this save that will be filled with sims and lots that I like. I doubt I will ever start a default save ever again. - As usual with the Sims 4, it's all shallow aesthetics and nothing deeper.
To be honest, I don't really care how they look now. But, what bothers me is that they didn't update their traits, aspirations, likes & dislikes, or relationships.
It would have been easier to just go on the Gallery and download a more interesting Goth family.
And the fact that it took them this long boggles my mind.
Couldn't they have just had the Gamechangers do them all in their free time? I do realize some GameChangers helped, but they didn't make the final products.
This isn't even a Lore update, it's just a cosmetic Makeover. - MoridhusNew SpectatorI'm not sure why the Goths needed an update.
- I didn't read the entire thread. Pardon me if the following has been mentioned already:
This is a missed opportunity for marketing. There should have been a contest. The development team could pick their favorites out of all the submissions (which have to fulfill certain requirements). Then, let the community vote on their favorite. - ChadSims2Seasoned NewcomerWhoever was in charge of the makeover never looked at past games to see what the makeover should actually look like Alexander skin tone was never meant to be as dark as they went not to mention his transformation into teen is hideous obviously not play tested or researched at all.
I have seen so many Simmers do an amazing job at creating celebrities and recreating Sims I think if they were going to remake the Goth family they should have went that route because what they did is just not good, all they thought was go darker not recreate what was in other games. - Internet says this update was made to reverse the whitewashing of characters, specifically Bella Goth and the Caliente sisters. I’m not sure if that is an official Maxis statement or what, but I feel it’s a pretty obtuse claim to make.
Bella Goth’s father and brother were white. The Caliente sisters are canonically aliens. Giving them makeovers at this point is a needless time sink. It took almost a year to makeover one household. Really? Where is the updated lore? Releasing an updated Goth family without updated lore is a strange choice. Are they fixing the lore? Are they finally adding in the graveyard of dead relatives & giving them a proper family tree? Are they just reinventing them a second time? If the lore update is the latter then it’s also a needless time sink. - Reading lots of good points with more insight than I ever had though I did play since sims1.
I don't care for the new goths because I was used to the sims4 ones, but I opened a new fame recently and noticed that Bella is a Young Adult with a teen daughter. Was Bella a Child Bride? ?
If she had Cassandra when she was even 18 and Cassandra appears at least 15, that puts Bella solidly in her 30s. If Bella is supposed to be under 30something, that means she had to have had Cassandra at like 15
And we know what that makes Mortie ? - I'm not a fan because I'm already used to the Goths' original looks on Sims 4, and my sim is already friends with one of the Goths so it would be quite weird for me to suddenly change their physical appearance.
I just wish next time, they give choices to players. - Sara1010pRising RookieI would have preferred they put the new ones on the gallery and allowed us to choose to keep the original version if we preferred, which I did.
