Don't Complain if You Buy The Pack

I think it's okay to complain. I mean, look at things like Get Famous. Being Famous can get pretty annoying. However it's a completely different thing to go around demanding that the game be actually nerfed. I mean, there's an on-off switch for fame which I know I don't use. And if you don't have a way to wash your laundry, it won't actually get dirty.

Hi :)
some people on this thread that doesn't like seeing others complaining. It's a forum for all simmer, not our personal email. one of u said maybe they should quit the game. I have a solution, how about you just avoid those threads and ignore the posts.
nobody is forcing us to go into them in the first place.

I don't care about complainers in general. we just don't want to see content we pay for get nerfed.
Personally I don't think this pack will be one of them. It's an avoidable lot type. The fear emotion is the one to worry about.
I think we got lucky they didn't nerf the murphey bed?

Out of all the nerfs the one that still boild my blood is the fame nerf! I loved those crowd of people falling al my feet every two steps ??? it was perfectly avoided with a lower fame level or a disguise. Content changed before release doesn't bother me as much. But once I paid for it according to the way it was advertised I want the full intense experience that was offered. Feels really wrong to change it especially when they ALWAYS make ways to avoid it!!!!!!!!

Vampire breakins wasn't that frequent but all they had to do was use garlic...??? I still have no use for that stuff now.
I still remember vlad trying to break into my campsite in granite falls and me desperately trying to lock gates and buy garlic. Good times?....good times.....

Wow Fame got nerfed? I not played it in awhile how so?

I have an old video somewhere of how fans use to act when you were celebrity. I recorded it to show my sister around the time it first came out. Darnnit they would go crazzzzzzzzzy for you. Fainting left and right, screaming, cheering. Paparazzi galore. It was intense but that was fun in being 5star famous!! It felt like a real celebrity where they can't even walk without surrounding themselves with bodyguards as they fight through a crowd.

And I could easily put on a disguise when I didn't want any attention at all.
People complained the fans were too much. Now they barely acknowledge my 5 star sim. I thought it was broken at first I kept cheating the fame level up and down wondering why they are not reacting like before. I did a celebrity cleanse and started over just to see that would fix the problem and nope. Then I went on social media and found out much later what happened. If you didn't want so much attention you didn't have to become a 5 star!! The attention increased with each star.?

Sims just stop and ask for an autograph here and there now. I use a fame mod just to get more fans and reactions, though it helps it's still not the same. I mostly get obsessive stalkers lol ?

Things should never get nerfed after you've paid good money for it.

If EA can't add a toggle of some sort to appease those who need avoidance then it should just be left alone.

I like it when they give us choices. Like how you can select to disallow vampires/solicitors/neighbours by clicking on your front door if you want to - that way, I can have them in some games and avoid them in others. The game should be all about choices.

But it is very annoying when they nerf stuff. Like the murphy bed from Tiny Living. I tried so hard to get a sim killed with that thing lol, never managed it. And then it got nerfed and hardly ever even breaks any more. Except that they didn't need to nerf it because there were already ways in-game you could avoid it - use a different bed, or get your handiness skill up to make it unbreakable. Sigh.

I think we should campaign to get everything put back the way it was! :D :D :D

Oh so they did nerf the murphey bed? I thought we won that fight? I don't use it often.

Problem is they scream loud on twitter. Make screaming demands with hashtags and tag the gurus. And pop up on every guru post demanding.
Of course the gurus just want to shut them up ? I doubt we can win against the nerf crowd.

Agreed. Everyone knows what they are getting when they buy the pack, hopefully toggles for occults will be added in the near future.

As I said on another thread, toggles don’t appease them. We got 2 toggles with Seasons, one to shut off blizzards and thunderstorms and one to shut off temperature effects on sims. But, people still had a massive hissy about sims dying from extreme temperatures. I even pointed out to the person who was leading the charge to have weather deaths nerfed that they could shut off the effects of temperature on their sims, and the literally came back at me saying they shouldn’t have to, because their sims not feeling hot or cold wasn’t realistic. So ultimately weather deaths have been tuned virtually out of existence, along with vampire behavior, and Murphy bed deaths (which tons of people requested making a return), and vending machine deaths were basically nerfed at the outset because you have really force things in order to make them happen. IMO, the rainbows and unicorns dollhouse players are sucking the very essence of The Sims out of this game. Like the OP I too fear they will set their lot type to Haunted House, add the spooky trait and then complain that it’s “invasive”, and “OTT”, and that they should be able to live in a haunted house without it occurring all the time.

The fact that you intentionally have to set your lot type to Haunted House, is the toggle but mark my words, they will be on here by Valentine’s Day hollering for hauntings and the fear emotion to be tuned down to nothing.

It’s not about reading threads we don’t like it’s about the fact that they spam the forums with their complaints until the devs come in through a patch and take away features in our games that WE DO LIKE and that we PAID for. It’s hard to ignore that vampires almost never ever break into homes now, or that extreme weather deaths no longer occur, or Murphy bed deaths. All of which were key features of their packs that were openly and repeatedly advertised pre-purchase.

@Pamtastic72 yes there will always be ppl complaining about anything, but i'm pretty sure after adding way more toggles (they could even have intensity levels) a LOT less people would complain. the sims has never been a 100% realistic life simulator and it shouldn't have to be, but it has always been a game about customization and i think it would benefit a lot by adding toggles, not only for the complainers but also to adapt the gameplay to each player and to give devs more freedom when trying to implement a specific feature.

But @bella_goth they added TWO toggles for weather, one of which totally prevents sims dying from extreme temps in Seasons and people still complained until weather death got nerfed! That’s what I am saying. Toggles don’t seem to matter because they complain anyway and then the feature gets patched out.

@Pamtastic72 so you rather not have any toggles cuz people will complain anyways?
perhaps the pack could use more toggles as the ones it got are a bit too generic.
