While I do understand the frustration with the lack of toddlers, the game has only been out for 10 weeks. Between the two patches for pools and ghosts .... it is a lot to ask for in such a short amount of time.
This statement I think would be 100% false and here's why I think that: Long before any official announcements of TS4 and when TS3 was still making EP's, players have always given their feedback way in advance when TS4 would have still been in the preliminary stages. This goes to show EA's focus is elsewhere and not on actual fans because they had more than enough time to develop the reasonable features some requested such as an improved open world, babies more detailed than ever before as in baby clothes/hair/accessories/etc along with much more for toddlers like preschool.
There were many, many topics about what others would like to see in the upcoming iteration. EA chose to pretty much ignore most of it. So I don't care what happens to TS Franchise, it can crash and burn. The future of TS is not worth anything to me anymore.
Edit: Also the SG's have let it be known they relied on some sort of focus group to get feedback for TS4. Not sure if it always have been like that for all past Sims games in the series but something is extremely different about TS4 in almost every way.
Actually no, it is not 100% false. The game has only been out 10 weeks. During the time it has been out for 10 weeks, we have had two of its issues added in, pools and ghosts. Those features were meant to be in the base game, but were not able to be put in. If I remember right, the development team asked for more time and were told no.
Everyone can play armchair quarterback and say what they should have done and complain about what should have been. But that will not change what we did indeed ended up getting. It also accomplishes nothing. Ask, scream, demand ... do whatever you think you need to do to get the game in the direction it can go. I also do not buy that you do not care where the TS franchise goes, if you did you wouldn't have bothered to post and you would have just been gone.
Should toddlers been in the base game, absolutely. All life stages should have been. Will toddlers make a return, I do think that they will.
Wrong wording but you clearly knew what I meant since I explained.
Actually "complaining" or rather constructive criticism does help because it points out exactly what went wrong according to each individual. But if they listened they would understand common issues that many bring up and that is where attention needs to be or not I don't care.
Once upon a time I did care about the direction of TS Franchise but I don't think they care to truly satisfy customers just their pockets. For me all hope is lost. I post because I want to speak up but highly doubtful they even read or care but most importantly actually do something about it. I just feel like participating in all those topics years ago about ideas/concepts of improving the ages...all for nothing. All gone to waste along with other ideas to make this life stimulator even better. And EA made it so much worse, to me. It's a lost cause, I want nothing to do with TS4 and since EA has proven they don't listen and love to rush products out the door there is no future to look forward to. Just more of the same old, same old.
I'll speak up but in other words I do not expect any positive change, it's pointless. Like talking to a brick wall. But beyond TS3 I'm not one supporting them anyway so I mainly speak with my actions.
