Does this pack feels like PSa ?
Looking at the recent trailer.The pack is feeling less like a fun simmer pack, and more like a PSA?

This is what I don't understand. I have seen on these boards people defend TS4 on the grounds that it somehow "allows them to be the storyteller," meaning, I suppose, that the game is so empty that they can imagine whatever they want onto it.
But this pack--and others before it--are clearly being marketed as a pre-scripted story. Yes, you CAN live in trash, but look at the gameplay video; the whole intent behind this is that you will create do-gooder Sims who have a nice story about cleaning up a neighborhood. There is ONE story here, and it's about young adults "changing the world," in a very naive way.
It is so forced, so pedantic, so NOT a sandbox. Its simplistic representation of "changing the world" and "activism" is, yes, very PSA-like, and honestly, it is an insult to the intelligence of adult simmers.
I personally do not care what story they're trying to tell. I will tell my own. It's still a sandbox if we're given tools to play how we want and not how you think you're being told to play. (Though I admit, I need way more tools.)
